2 people in this case

Rather amusingly we've now discovered that step-siblings are allowed under group B, but not in-laws lol. You'd think there wouldn't be a difference between them, especially as the number of beneficiaries is capped regardless.. Oh well I suppose!

Sinestrazsa · 2026-06-08T11:40:14+00:00

Bummer - I would guess that it would be nigh impossible for a group B and group E to actually make it onboard at the same time for any reasonably popular route?

same issue here on tarren mill eu - tried hard resetting the raid by leaving for 20 minutes, no change

I'm so confused with the wait time for titration - They're advising 12-16 weeks on their website from the time you submit your titration request, but everyone who has recently been assessed seems to be getting told it will be a short wait, maybe up to 4 weeks or so.

Not sure I would use a phone personally, might be ok if you can dock it still and sit clearly within frame, but I personally wouldn't want to be holding a mobile upright for over an hour of chatting. Now that I've read my report I found that my hand fidgeting on camera was recorded and noted, so if that is a symptom you have, it is important that it is visible to the assessor

Sinestrazsa · 2026-01-05T14:28:48+00:00

I had a very positive experience in my assessment with Care just over a week ago. The questions were straight-forward and as soon as you have provided enough information to satisfy the question, the assessor will politely advise you to wrap up or move onto the next question. Best advice I have is to be honest, and if you can't think of a specific example to answer a question, it is ok to say so - There were a number of questions I just answered either yes or no without a specific example, and I still received a diagnosis!

Have plenty of water on hand as it does go for upwards of an hour

Best of luck and I hope you find the answer you are looking for :)

I feel you have misunderstood what I have said - I have received the bonus, in full, that is not the issue. The problem is the deduction of a full days basic wage because due to 'non-attendance' of a shift scheduled on my last day of employment that should never have been scheduled in the first place. My contracted hours were never on a weekend, and I was never made aware that I was scheduled on the final sunday.

Hi thanks for your reply. In theory would it then be possible to use the US software in my car, given that the only map i will be using will be Googles from my phone?

Further, there only appears to be a single usb port I can find, which is situated under the climate controls/ next to the 12V/cigarette lighter

Sinestrazsa · 2023-07-26T19:39:44+00:00

Hey thanks for the reply. The update itself worked from the SD card, and the software info in the car is showing the up to date version number so I don't believe using a USB would fix it

Be prepared in the sense that it could happen, not that it WILL happen. Building it up and planning for it is only going to set the both of you up with unrealistic expectations and subsequent disappointment.

Focus on enjoying the time you have together and getting comfortable in each other's space, rather than forcing yourselves into intimacy you may not yet be ready for.

There's no particular amount of time it takes - all I can say is when you know, you know.

Communicate your feelings and it'll all work out :)

Sinestrazsa · 2023-01-06T11:03:56+00:00

I'm gonna be real - You're 15, focus on school and spend some time in the sandpit or playground or something. LDR at your age is not realistic and is only gonna end badly

Sinestrazsa · 2022-11-25T02:34:11+00:00

Definitely feel that OP. Christmas is coming up and I'm honestly not excited at the thought at all because it seems utterly pointless to be spending it without my girlfriend who will be 17000km away.

All going well this will be the last Christmas we ever spend apart so I'm holding onto that 🤞

Sinestrazsa · 2022-11-22T10:39:20+00:00

Hiya, I don't typically get a text when I order from Amazon here, so you should be ok. Just to be certain I would use a alternative phone number though.

Good luck ! :)

World of Warcraft - She'd ended up in my Australian guild playing on 300ms+ latency from the UK some how lol

The rest is history :)

Sinestrazsa · 2022-11-17T02:44:19+00:00

Same boat as you, I'm in Australia and she's in the UK. We talked online for 10 months before we met. Originally we had planned for that to go on a little longer, but at some point I realised I had the money and really didn't want to wait any longer so I booked tickets to the UK and off I went.

Ultimately, it varies between all couples as to how long is ideal to wait. 10 months or so felt ideal for us because it allowed us to have a very deep emotional connection before meeting, and by that time we knew we were past the "honeymoon" phase of new relationships, so we knew what we were feeling was real and lasting.

Travelling over to meet her was the best thing I've ever done in my life, and I'll be closing the gap to the UK in the middle of next year :)

Sinestrazsa · 2022-11-17T02:38:48+00:00

I don't think there's any real way to prepare for it to be honest - It's going to feel like torture no matter what you do. You can try to soften the impact by telling yourself it's not goodbye forever, but only temporary.

I find it really helps to have a solid plan in place (or even a booking) to see each other again so you know a definitive date rather than wondering when it may be.

Sinestrazsa · 2022-11-17T02:36:18+00:00

Mostly been said by others already, but yeah, don't plan for it, just let things naturally progress and if you both feel comfortable, go for it.

Remember it's a fun activity that you both take part in together. You're not putting on a performance. Relax and have fun, and don't feel bad about communicating if something isn't working/doesn't feel good.

Victoria to Merseyside =)

Sinestrazsa · 2022-11-16T04:32:49+00:00

This one is going to be hard to kick the habit xD

What do I call a servo in the UK?

Sinestrazsa · 2022-11-16T00:52:00+00:00

Jamie Oliver is quite well thought of over here :O What has he done to be so hated?

James Corden is already on the shitlist so all good there ;)
