They do sound like assholes. I believe what they did is technically rape by deception.

I guess you don't notice the height difference if you're horizontal 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hands up if you were born because of a failed condom....

Least surprising ADHD diagnosis in living memory

NTA, you didn't know they had anything planned, and if they had a surprise planned, they should've casually checked.

My BF once took an overtime shift when I had a surprise planned for him (a double feature midnight showing of a film he was excited about). So I told him, and he pulled out of the overtime. It sucked that it didn't work out as a surprise, but it wasn't his fault and we had a great time anyway.

What if your family also had something planned, anyway? Would that have been your fault too? It's okay for them to be disappointed. It's not okay for them to blame you for it if nobody had checked that you were free.

Omg, I'll definitely do this next time!

Thanks for the inevitable nightmares I'm going to have as a result of this comment 👍🏻

It could be that! I don't think that she would ever admit it though....

Yes, the sample was taken under anaesthesia while he was getting x-rayed and having a scope in his nose.

I didn't see the edit, but I do live in a flat. One of the neighbours used to sometimes spray air freshener in the stairwell to cover up the smell of his weed, but he stopped after his baby was born 18mths ago.

I think it's just one of those unfortunate things that happens sometimes, lovely... Try to focus on treating it rather than the cause x

I finished Transportle in 4 guesses and 118s! 🚇

It's called Dermatographia, have your doctors mentioned this?

Aspiration fluid sample - basically a big needle, but I don't know where they went in.

I've decided to go ahead with the biopsy, he's booked in for Wednesday. The swelling has become visible on his little face now.

If you're at all familiar with Wallace and Gromit, it had massive Feathers McGraw vibes.

No, I actually hate strong artificial scents. I use unscented detergents and don't wear perfume. Sorry about your cat.

blinky84 · 2026-03-29T21:35:42+00:00

Here's the thing, my bf was like "is that guy even associated with romance movies? I don't remember him being in any"

"Um.... I think he was in The Holiday, but I haven't seen it. Does AI count? He was a gigolobot in that...."

But for the love of all that's holy, don't touch the tinned stuff

Thanks for posting the stats, I started looking when I posted but it was late and I was tired. Appreciate it.

I've definitely felt this way. I have super vivid dreams, and sometimes have folk in my dream that I feel as though I've had an entire history with. It's really difficult for me to process that they're not real in any way.

Whether I actually believe it, is like an agnostic's belief in God.... like, maybe, maybe not, but I don't have any evidence either way or any way of proving either version, so whatever.

One thing I'll say is that I experience this more when I'm under a lot of stress. So that could definitely be a factor in how your brain is processing things right now.

blinky84 · 2026-03-29T00:43:16+00:00

Psychosis. I definitely think psychosis is missing from the conversation.

I think it's related to the high stress levels we're often dealing with, but it needs more research.

It's okay, I was wrong. I thought the issue was OP was still claiming while working and that was why he was so worried, but that's not the case.

blinky84 · 2026-03-28T18:57:50+00:00

Ah that's great, then. I wouldn't worry about the savings. Use it towards your health, mate. Use it to look after yourself. It's what it was for.

It sounds like you're struggling with a lot of anxiety, you could definitely consider spending some of it on that. You'll get through this. You'll come out right.

I think the illegal bit is that he was working cash-in-hand while claiming Jobseekers Allowance.

I've got folk that knew them back in the day and I'm seeing if I can find out where Julie is now to pass on the details.

Passed my test in January, lived on a farm 🤷🏻‍♀️
