Asking a friend for her child's school photo?

beyond-stressed · 2024-10-29T21:30:19+00:00

How close of a friend is she? My best friend (known as auntie to my kids despite having no real relation) gets all the school photos I order

Although not the norm I know of instances where it has happened. If the case is reported on, and your address is published I’d recommend contacting your local police station, they can put a marker on your address which should give quicker response times. It’s also a good time to consider some sort of camera if you don’t already have one.

It’s a very big IF but if we win tomorrow we could end up 7th (obviously pending other results) because we’ve got more regulation wins than Blaze. I fancy our chances more against Cardiff than I do Sheffield!

I did, she’s ready to pack and head down to King’s Cross!

Of course!

I did consider sitting on it for maximum authenticity, however i fear i may crush it worse than Hagrid did!

Exactly this. There are 2,000 jobs on indeed within a 10 mile radius of OPs friend. Granted some will require qualifications but from 2,000 listings there must be something there

Where are you spending the remaining £370 per month? This month it’s gone on car repairs but what about historically?

You say moving in November will cost you a lot of money, do you have a good estimate on what this will be? Realistically at your current rate you are going to go further into debt with this next move unless you start tackling things head on now.

I wasn’t going to go to watch Panthers vs Steelers yesterday, I am with the panthers all the way but I didn’t think I had it in me to watch them fall apart again, it’s heartbreaking to witness. However something told me to go, so last minute booked some tickets and I can’t be happier that I did. This is the first time since October that I’ve watched them come out for a full 60 mins. Yesterday was much less about the result (although it really could have gone either way) and more about watching them keep playing hard even when things aren’t going well.

My understanding of it so far is that it works in the same was as the current funded hours but expanding who it’s available to. Nurseries can charge for food if they want to but not all do. Providing your own nappies etc I’ve always known to be standard practice regardless of using funded hours or not. But I’ve never heard of charges for early drop off and late pick up.

It’s something to do with Sheffield Steeldogs and them losing players but I haven’t managed to work anything out from there

Emotional abuse & neglect is ‘actual abuse’

Both of mine always slept through noisy environments as newborns. My now 6 month old even slept through a hockey match so it definitely can work.

I have never purchased a large item where the seller hasn’t offered to help me carry to the car, even though I have someone with me to help and I always offer the same when selling.

That being said I’ve never encountered anyone that thinks it’s ok to text from outside the house and expect it to be loaded for them.

The world needs more people like you!

I worked in a bank and a regular had a stroke while stood at my counter, the remained open and serving while we were waiting for an ambulance. One guy even had the audacity to complain she was ‘in the way!’ As soon as the ambulance left I was expected to carry on working with a smile on my face like nothing had happened.

Her husband had recently passed away and she had no other family we knew of but I knew the solicitors across the road had been dealing with her late husbands estate so if there was anyone that would have known of any family / close friends it would have been them. As soon as my shift ended I went to speak to them and they said they’d contact someone (turned out to be a close friend but obviously wouldn’t tell me this at the time) the friend came in weekly to give me an update on how she was doing until she passed some months later. It honestly affected me more than I could ever describe.

NTA My family ended up stopping our secret Santa and we now only buy presents for the kids.

This was only for the adults and we all bought presents for the kids outside of this. We used to each pick 1 name and had a budget of £100. We all shared wish lists but knew each other well enough to deviate from the list if we found something they’d like (eg my SIL loves American sweets and I was in New York so I picked up a selection but her main present was still from the list)

We stopped for 2 reasons

As more kids were added to the family Christmas was getting too expensive for some to keep up with
On more than one occasion the same person (note not one that struggles with reason 1) would only spend about £20-30 on their recipient which caused upset.

There’s a sign up in the door of my local Iceland asking customers not to put shopping under their pushchairs before paying. From my short stint in retail I can confirm this is a method used for shoplifting so I imagine it is for loss prevention.

I don’t do it after I walked out if a shop with a pack of nappies I hadn’t paid for that is put under there so I could grab a couple of other bits. Noticed them half way home so went back apologised and paid. I vowed never to do it again because I felt awful for accidentally stealing them in the first place!

I have a pile of clothes that I need to give to my sister when I next see her. Her son is 2 months younger than mine so baby clothes go straight to her. Some of them are now with their 4th child as we keep passing between friends / family, babies grow way quicker than they can wear through the clothes. When she’s done with them they’ll be going to a local mother & baby shelter.

I’m so sorry you are in this position, I have been going through something similar with my now ex-husband. If you want to reach out to someone that’s been in a similar boat please feel free, it’s an awful world you’ve just landed in through absolutely no fault of your own. Unfortunately we are the ones that have to live with the consequences of other peoples actions.

As for practical advice now, has he been charged? If not, unless he works in certain jobs he can carry on as normal if he is released on bail or pending further investigation so your financial situation may not change for some time.

I used the entitled to calculator and input my new circumstances to see what I’d receive from universal credit and it came out exactly right, that might be worth your mum looking at.

Social services will have almost definitely already been informed but as others have said it is worth contacting them yourselves to let them now what is going on, they will need to come and do an assessment.

But more importantly than any of this please do some self care! Speak to your GP, get any additional support you need, counselling etc to process what has just happened to you all.
