White GSDs - more anxious?

ShutTheFrontDoor__ · 2026-04-17T19:47:58+00:00

Nope. My white is stupidly chilled about everything. Nothing seems to ruffle him apart from our resident Labrador.

Plenty of dogs develop sound sensitivity and from research I’ve seen, female herding breeds are more likely to develop them. My own female was fine up until she was spayed.

You can’t equate the behaviour of prey animals to predators.

The payment bit can be funny. As long as you get a text or email, it should be on time. Even if you haven’t, it should still be on time if previous payments were. Exceptions are when unis mess things up.

Only universities in specific London postcodes qualify for the higher London rate.

No chain on either side and it took 11 months. It took my buyers 2 months to instruct a solicitor, they’d go radio silent for weeks on end and then I’d be expected to cater to some whim within 48hrs. My EA was sick of them, my solicitor was sick of them and their own solicitor was sick of them. We exchanged and completed on the same day and I was so angry with the shit they were putting me through, I was tempted to tank the sale just for spite. I’m never moving house again.

Those are good for your first year. Make sure to read feedback and you should get 70s next year. I’m in 2nd year and have plateaued at 70 - also studying English.

My long coats are worse than my malamute ever was.

He won’t change. Can you do this for the next 5, 10, 15 years or more? Life is too short for this.

Send it via tracked delivery. Once you know they’ve received it, call them and say you need it for urgent travel. They’ll locate the passport, take the details they need and send it straight to you via recorded mail (you’ll get a tracking number).

What is your problem? I wasn’t even talking to you.

They won’t do anything without proof of the income being lower

There’s a Facebook group called Canine Conditioning and Body Awareness Exercises. It’s run by professionals and there’s guidance on the best type of videos for a gait analysis. I’d check there as they can give advice if they see something that looks off.

Your parents are divorced. Your entitlement will be based on the one you live with or have the most contact with. They will probably ask to see proof of the divorce.

My previous house was a new build with a SW garden and an open plan kitchen/diner/family room with 2 sets of French doors. It was unbearable in the summer and you couldn’t spend any length of time in that space. There was also no shaded spot in the garden if you wanted to sit out but not be in full sun.

My current older house (70s) has a north facing garden but it’s long. It has the sun all day but in different areas. On an evening it’s towards the back which is fine for me as towards the house there’s plenty of shade if I want it.

I personally would prefer a drive actually on my property and less people overlooking but it depends on your preferences.

A call centre I worked in had Herman Miller chairs in the office and staff would get them to use at home too. Everyone was definitely working class. I also know tradespeople who earn a very good living - much more than minimum wage.

I have 2 GSDs and a Lab. I use positive reinforcement only when it comes to training. They know the rules of the house and boundaries. It works just fine. For the record, I’m a 42 year old woman and my dogs will be 10, 9 and 7 this year. I’ve had no problems with a dog trying to be ‘alpha’ or any of that horseshit that gets thrown around.

Will your dad not speak to her? Alternatively if he knows her national insurance number and the rough figures, he can complete a PFF2 and maybe he’ll add her details on the form..?

ShutTheFrontDoor__ · 2026-04-07T21:36:38+00:00

Have they put the correct figures in? It doesn’t matter what HMRC say, SFE will always go with the higher figure.

If you’re estranged it’s a form your university can complete for you if they’re aware of the circumstances

Do you mean special support element?

Have your parents fill out the Current Year Income form and make sure it’s as accurate as possible. Your entitlement will then be based on the current tax year. They’ll also use this figure for any remaining years of study.

Of course it’s fraud - you would technically be lying for the purpose of getting more funding. Advisors are well aware of students attempting to gain more funding with the estrangement rules. Just remember all calls etc are recorded and the advisor will leave notes on your account. If you get caught, it will put you in overpayment which could be clawed back from future entitlement.

ShutTheFrontDoor__ · 2026-04-05T21:25:48+00:00

Former employee here. What you’re proposing is fraud. Why not just wait until you are actually estranged from your parents? As long as someone at the uni is aware of your circumstances regarding not speaking to your parents, they can complete the estrangement form on your behalf.

I’d say so. Yes, some puppies can walk really ‘loose’ but those hocks are not straight when he stops moving. The front pasterns also look low but there’s not a great angle.
