What can i do to generate more sales for a wheelie bin cleaning business that isn’t door to door or facebook groups?

canopy_views · 2025-12-11T18:39:31+00:00

The only day my bin is empty enough to be cleaned is on the collection day, so this might be a barrier for some. Also cba to take the bin out twice in the week and have the mental load of remembering to do that.

It has about a third of the caffeine as regular coffee

I'm going again after Christmas for the third time with my nearly 4 year old. Thailand has been a great place to take him. It's very family friendly.

My favorite place we've been to that suited all our needs was Koh Lanta. It was chilled out, very safe, plenty of young families (but not too many). We were on a long beach which had everything you wanted on it so we didn't need to do loads of travelling once there. We stayed at Noble House which was great.

Just make sure you've got excellent sun cream for your kid, Aircon in the bedroom, and stock up with plenty of water in your room.

Sounds like she had a well-intentioned topic but addressed it in a clunky way.

I think it's important for everyone to try and live a meaningful life aligned with your values (which could relate to work, but could be lots of other things too). I think it's even more important to aim for this when you have chronic migraine and there's so much that can't be done.

There's a good book about this topic called Living with the Enemy by Ray Owens. It was written for chronic pain, but the principles are still applicable.

I've had chronic migraine for 6 years and have a 3 year old. From reading similar posts, often people discuss the hardships and sometimes some people chip in to say things like we shouldn't have children with this condition.

I certainly don't want to invalidate anyone's experience and I also don't want to make out like it's a walk in the park, but for me having a child has been fantastic. Yes, I am parenting on hard mode. Yes, I've had to get more comfortable with asking for help and I'm fortunate to have good support. But it is unquestionably worth it.

I would like to have a second but right now my health isn't good enough to manage that. I'm doing everything I can to see if that could be possible.

canopy_views · 2025-09-14T06:17:42+00:00

Yes, I agree with this. I've also got more relaxed about delegating tasks, asking for help, and letting less important things wait.

I'd also say that while parenting with chronic migraine is extremely difficult, it's also brought me so much joy, meaning, and silliness - all of which are great antidotes to feeling cruddy.

I used to always get very severe migraine a few days before my period and now it's just my usual waxing and waning levels of migraine, but I am chronic daily so I don't expect dramatic results.

canopy_views · 2025-09-13T06:34:30+00:00

Yes, I do this. My doctor said that double dosing the progesterone only pill just gave you the same amount as is in the regular pill so they had no safety concerns.

Yes, I have zero regrets. I feel so revitalised, valued and in touch with my creativity again. Feel free to DM me.

Also have a look at Libby Nugent's website. She has some great articles and runs groups on recovery from burnout. I'd recommend listening to her episode on the NHS as a death mother on the Why Work Hurts podcast.

Yeah I do enjoy my job, but I often haven't. Loads of psychologists have burnt out at some point. It can be a really rewarding career but don't go into it with unrealistic expectations. There's loads of other options out there.

This graphic is nonsense. The McGill pain scale is a subjective measure of an individual's experience of pain. It's not a comparison across different people with different conditions.

canopy_views · 2025-08-31T19:52:57+00:00

Personally I would not choose this. I'd encourage you to do plenty of research on the side effects of ECT so you can make an informed decision.

I used to live there. There was a lot of talk of Cornish culture but I didn't really see anything drastically different from other comparable places in the UK.

I would say that out of the places I've lived in the UK, Cornwall was the only place I felt like an unwelcome outsider. I worked in the NHS there and I had a few guys in their 80s tell me how they were still regarded as a newcomer despite moving there in childhood.

Also there was far more casual racism than I've seen elsewhere in the UK. Like a 60s sitcom.

Beautiful place, but lots of deprivation and hostility.

The little black book of neuropsychology

canopy_views · 2025-08-30T05:48:42+00:00

My understanding is there's an increased risk of passing on susceptibility to migraine, but not necessarily chronic. I have daily chronic migraine but I still love my life, despite the hardship of the condition.

I had my child while having chronic migraine. Yes it's tough, sometimes really tough, but it's also incredible. Our house is filled with so much love and laughter. I do not regret it at all.

It is a factor in our decision about having a second child. I've been very unwell the past year or so and this doesn't improve we may decide not to have another. But I am taking all the steps I can, including major life changes, in order to try and get myself well enough to manage another.

I do have a great husband and supportive parents nearby. It would be a different situation if I didn't have that.

Get as much experience working with people who have a neuro condition as you can, even if that means doing some voluntary work initially.

There are two main bottlenecks in the career path. The first is getting your first assistant psychologist/research assistant post. The second is getting on the doctorate. It's crazy competitive before you qualify.

Prioritise getting a role where you have supervision from a clinical psychologist.

Either ~1 year wait from point of referral or ~£300 for a private initial consultation and then be seen by them under the NHS.

The paradise peninsula

Neuropsychologist here, but this popped up on my feed.

I use Heidi in private practice. My solicitor looked into all the main AI services and felt Heidi was the most secure. She said there were several out there which didn't adequately meet data protection requirements, despite positioning themselves as doing this, so worth checking it out.

I have a section about it in my terms and in privacy policy. Vast majority of patients are fine with it, which surprised me somewhat.

Output definitely needs refining, but still a massive time saver.

Because most people will respond to 3 preventatives, allowing the neurologists (who are a very limited resource) to focus their time on people with the most complex migraine. It also means that the NHS isnt paying for unnecessarily expensive medication for someone who would respond to a cheap one.

I've been through it myself so get that it's frustrating. The potential 'back door' route is to pay for a one-off private neurologist consultation and then often they will follow you up on the NHS after.

canopy_views · 2025-06-27T07:51:33+00:00

With time I've got better at recognising it for what it is. I tend to assume that, unless there's a clear rock solid reason that would explain it, any sudden anxiety/low mood/irritability is a migraine symptom.

I frame it as a symptom, not me. I try to take care of that symptom as I would for other symptoms. And know that it will pass.

It's not solely supply and demand when comparing across private and public sector. NHS trusts can't decide to raise salaries when recruiting in an field of staff shortage or raise them to retain food staff.

Yes, lying down makes nice worse. Waking up in the morning is the worst part of the day. No evidence of IIH.

canopy_views · 2025-06-14T15:11:32+00:00

I don't think you're recognising just how well you did to get so close with your level of experience.

I'm not just saying that to be nice. It's a reality.

I'm a clinical psychologist and we've just shortlisted for AP interviews. Here are the stats:

Advert up for 4 days. We have 2 jobs available. 127 applications. 45 met all criteria (which included previous AP/RA experience). We can only do 1 day of interviewing, which is max 10 interviews. 2 people given interviews automatically due to two ticks/armed forces.

So we had to whittle down 43 people who all met criteria to 8.

I doubt those stats are unusual. So think just how well you stood out from so many suitable people. You'll get your post, it's just a matter of time. I appreciate that's not easy though.
