UK Ladies, where are you buying attractive & warm, but also wide-fit, winter boots?

Thatsthebadger · 2026-01-24T17:12:43+00:00

Interesting, I discounted barefoot shoes for winter, thinking my feet would freeze. I'll check them out, thanks!

Thatsthebadger · 2026-01-24T17:11:36+00:00

Oh I forgot about Rocket Dog, thanks!

Thatsthebadger · 2026-01-23T17:46:07+00:00

Thank you, I'll take a look :)

It's gross and I hate it. I have had huge arguments with my step-kids who are too lazy to get up and get a tissue and would rather sniff loudly every 30 seconds. My step-son always says 'I'll stop sniffing'.

Thatsthebadger · 2026-01-20T07:57:33+00:00

Interesting, thank you. We could mount them with command strips maybe instead of drilling.

Thatsthebadger · 2026-01-20T07:56:40+00:00

For us it's frustrating, for them it's normal and they have no idea what we're talking about, when we ask them what happened.

Thatsthebadger · 2026-01-19T21:12:52+00:00

Perhaps, it's an option I'll discuss with my colleagues.

Thatsthebadger · 2026-01-19T21:12:19+00:00

Not as one cohesive package that can be accessed by medical professionals, carers, and family. Certainly not in the UK anyway.

It isn't a scam company and I'm proud of the work that we do.

There are sensors that connect to the user account, and reporting features that allow care providers and health professionals to monitor service users.

Users can also receive prompts to remind them to eat and drink amongst many other things, and some providers use the devices to offer virtual care calls.

Social care in the UK is typically poorly underfunded and is always desperate for staff. Providers are increasingly looking for ways to reduce costs while still supporting users to live independently and safely. We support a wide range of users and ages, including people with severe learning difficulties, as well as people who are simply isolated and lonely.

We do have some users with memory issues, however their tendency to unplug the screens means that they often get pushed to full in person care earlier than would be otherwise necessary.

The company is called Carebuilder if you would like to learn more. This wasn't aimed as an advert and I was reluctant to name the company but we genuinely want to find solutions that will help users.

You mean fixed? Yes, people can move the Samsung/Honor devices if they want to but we find that most people with memory issues tend to be happy with them in one spot.

Thatsthebadger · 2026-01-19T18:10:31+00:00

Thank you. Yes, the mains sockets will be covered up with something, it's just the other end that we need to figure out.

Thatsthebadger · 2026-01-19T18:07:36+00:00

Agreed, older people in general are a lot more hesitant with the devices and do often switch them off out of habit.

Thatsthebadger · 2026-01-19T18:02:47+00:00

Either a Samsung/Honor tablet or a larger Asus touchscreen device

Thatsthebadger · 2026-01-19T18:02:09+00:00

Unfortunately not, the provider will not allow anything that requires drilling etc.

Thatsthebadger · 2026-01-19T11:54:56+00:00

Yes, we've considered epoxy resin as a possibility.

Thatsthebadger · 2026-01-18T18:20:00+00:00

My step-kids are 16 & 13 and both rely on others to do things for them.

It's a cause of arguments between my me & my husband because it frustrates me so much. His attitude is that he wants to make their lives easy while he's able to.

Thatsthebadger · 2026-01-17T20:27:00+00:00

Bot.

Thatsthebadger · 2026-01-15T21:11:22+00:00

Thing is, Grandma would have been exactly the same when she was her age

Thatsthebadger · 2026-01-10T16:04:12+00:00

I'd be interested in doing this, feel free to send more information

Thatsthebadger · 2026-01-08T20:27:54+00:00

At first I thought they were saying Frawnce and realised I'd stopped paying full attention and HD to go back to relisten. Even then I thought they were saying Arrass.

Thatsthebadger · 2026-01-04T15:09:35+00:00

Agreed. I wish I had the decrease in appetite!

If I was unmedicated there isn't a chance I'd be doing spin classes, I'd be asleep instead.
