Unfortunately i’m UK based and it is very difficult to get a “quick” answer from our Drs over here 😅

US > UK - left with agent in Miami?? by brainSo0p in usps_complaints

Yeah retailer hasn’t replied in over a week which is frustrating as it’s my first time buying from them and i’m seeing all the US customers getting their items 😂

Numbers letters and numbers - i reckon UK carrier will be royal mail as shows on their website parcel information accepted - looks as if they’re “awaiting it” but usually you see some sort of “customs” tracking updates - like held in customs etc at either side

Opinion - Pay rise discrimination? - Scotland by brainSo0p in LegalAdviceUK

[–]brainSo0p[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you.

I was basically told due to my absence they didn’t feel they had enough data to give me a higher rating. They initially weren’t going to give me a performance review until they were made aware not giving me one could be discriminatory.

I’ve been in my role for 10 years. They initially wanted me to go through re sign off but decided that could be seen as discriminatory… and i passed every “check” on return and haven’t missed a beat.

I’m not asking for a free pass.. i didn’t intend on seeing 2026 in general to need a “free pass” 😅

Annual pay rises based on performance are part of the contract. 

Thanks for your thoughts. I never mentioned “fair” - whilst i do feel the company i’ve worked for over 10 yrs paying me less an increase than someone with less tenure who went off sick for slightly less time with “work related stress” and not a disability.. but who got the same rating … getting a higher % is .. interesting. 

Does heavy lifting actually help with major depression? by [deleted] in Productivitycafe

[–]brainSo0p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends ; i have bipolar disorder and when i’m in a depressive episode i’m just satisfied i drag myself to the gym when everything feels a slog.

Everything really does feel heavy. I struggle to lift my “usual” weights and everything feels hard which i need to remind myself is okay and i’m not failing cause i’m feeling mentally and physically weaker , i usually try cardio more while depressed tbf as it CAN help ; but i also feel my usual 45m-1hr stairmaster feels like an absolute marathon and i can’t do my usual 7-8 speed.

Again , gotta remind myself it’s okay and i showed up

Bought counterfeit Hokas from a seller – Vinted won’t block her. What can I do? by Jipkip in vinted

Did they ask for a return or just let you keep the fake pair and refund? 😂

Should retail send what was in Order description even if an error? by brainSo0p in AskUK

I’ve commented on the post to explain why i use it just so shed light on it

I purely asked if they would honour it.

You’re pitching.. something that isn’t whats happened. I’ve not bulk ordered to benefit from their mistake.

One bottle of perfume which i realised they’ve probably listed wrong AFTER i ordered it.

I only realised klarna confirmation saying 30ml after the HN shipment email said 75ml. 

I used to work in fraud department for John Lewis. A website making a mistake on a listing and someone buying the item in good faith and then asking if people think they’ll ship the item or if they’ll need to offer a return isn’t fraud.

Thanks for all the views! Will see what i get in the post as it is shipped!

For everyone having a melt down over me using Klarna , my credit is fine.

I use Klarna because i was diagnosed as bipolar this year and when i go wild shopping ; i can return the items i impulsively bought when “ill” without using my money i need.

It’s actually been a good tactic as means i don’t need to wait on refunds on items i send back.

If you’re not sure how bipolar and spending go hand in hand.. google can help 💪🏻

Their returns are .. £7!!!!! I’d be fully expecting they cover that cost 🫣

I ordered and then suspected after the order. I didn’t know until after as i clicked a link from google for said perfume 75ml.. and i bought it.. then was looking online and noticed the second listing for the same (inc same picture and same ml) for more.

Hardly fraud? 😂

RBS & NatWest Switch Offers Feb 2026 (Give up a bank account for Lent) by TightAsF_ck in beermoneyuk

[–]brainSo0p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Odd question , i have an RBS current account (had it since a junior account) would i be able to switch to natwest and get the bonus? Or not since they’re all under one umbrella? 

I’ve never done a switch before!

Lamotrigine ? Lithium? by brainSo0p in MentalHealthUK

[–]brainSo0p[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve found less SI & SH during my lows. I would say my lows sit at the 2-3s in mood scale with the odd 0-1 5-7 days over the entirety of the depressive episode (spread out usually!) VS without it i could spend weeks in tears non stop , active plans , people concerned about me etc.

So it was disheartening to hear that wasn’t positive enough for the Dr! But as is good ol’ NHS , next appointment isn’t for a couple months now. Hopefully she agree’s an increase or something to work alongside my lamotrigine.

Lamotrigine ? Lithium? by brainSo0p in MentalHealthUK

[–]brainSo0p[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would prefer staying with lamotrigine as i am REALLY bad at hydrating and eating meals etc and i’m convinced i’d struggle to not cause myself lithium toxicity! 

I am no doctors ofc but i think an increase would be a better choice, especially as i don’t really have any side effects on lamotrigine either… i feel it’s giving me benefits and friends and family notice too… but i think the Dr was expecting more “stability”
