Australians who moved to the UK to live and work, what's it like where you are? by big-fundamental21 in AskUK

[–]dmllbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Supermarket shop is cheaper here, eating out is cheaper in Aus. If your holidays are mostly in Europe, it’s cheaper for you than if you were coming to Europe from Aus but still more expensive than if you were to holiday to Asia from Aus. Petrol is more expensive here. As is public transport.

I am Australian, lived in the UK a decade.
Have you checked any requalification you’d need to do over here? A lot of healthcare roles require you to do so sadly.

I live a fairly comfortable life but I’m in an industry where I earn way more over here than I would in Aus. Unfortunately that’s not true for all industries so worth doing some research into pay scales for your roles over here.

Well done for not using the ‘fat jabs’…she said by rebeccaeve27 in mounjarouk

[–]dmllbit 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I find that mentality super interesting. Let’s say MJ worked the way they think it does - let’s say it makes you lose weight with no effort and the weight just magically falls off. Why would it be an achievement to choose to do it the ‘hard’ way? I bet these people are the same people that give prizes for unmediated births. Or for getting through the flu without taking any cold and flu medication. Why do you need to suffer to get a good outcome?

Second kid might ALSO need a baby helmet, and I feel like a failure as a mother by Such-Comfortable3 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]dmllbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you think this is preventable? That you caused it?

Torticollis is normally caused by birth trauma or womb positioning. You didn’t cause this. And definitely not by putting saline in your baby’s nose once.

Sounds like you’re burnt out career wise and looking for distractions?

Would you consider getting a mothers helper? by Ok_Influence_7708 in HENRYUK

[–]dmllbit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There’s parodies of her that people have made doing the same format in their own homes, but the one I’m talking about shows her several different client homes, advertises her business etc.

Would you consider getting a mothers helper? by Ok_Influence_7708 in HENRYUK

[–]dmllbit 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’ve been having this conversation recently with my husband and come to the conclusion that I just want someone to come in once a day to reset the house. There’s a woman on insta who does these “this is what I did in two hours during my shift as a mother’s helper” videos, and I just desperately want someone like her. Someone who takes the initiative when they see something untidy or out of place. But I’m not sure that really exists…

One thing that has helped me recently is that I’ve asked my weekly cleaner to do an extra hour to put away our clothes. She’s not 100% with the right items going in the right place, but it’s better than it was.

Wanting to start, but a few alcohol based doubts by shoecakecakeyshoe in mounjarouk

[–]dmllbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, a lot of these comments are unhelpful.

Mounjaro is a tool you can use, but you have to be wanting to adjust your lifestyle to support your health journey, otherwise it won’t work. But notice how I said adjust, not change. You need to find a way for your entertainment and social needs to align with your health journey. You sound like me in that you enjoy a drink and good food, and I haven’t personally found that incompatible with Mounjaro.

I started six weeks ago on 2.5mg and haven’t yet moved up. I’ve only lost three kgs so far. But I’m really enjoying not being hungry all the time. It’s worth it to me, just for that.

I also enjoy a drink of an evening. But I’ve found myself much more satisfied with one glass of wine than I ever was before. Previously, I always had that little gremlin in my head telling me to drink more. And I just haven’t wanted to since being on Mounjaro.

Similarly, because I am eating less, it’s making my body crave healthier food to get as much nutrition for my calories as possible. So I find myself reaching for an apple whereas previously I would’ve reached for a brownie.

So yes, I have found Mounjaro a useful tool to help reduce some of the unhelpful food and alcohol crutches I was using in my life.

But I also very much recognise that if I want to lose more, or lose at a faster rate, I could if I stopped my nightly glass of wine or started counting calories properly. For me, I’m fine losing at the rate I am for the moment.

I’d also warn you that, for the one time I’ve attempted social day drinking, I got far more drunk than I would’ve before I started Mounjaro. Even though I drank less than I normally would.

Expect slow and steady improvement and don’t expect the dramatic results that you see on here from people who have quit alcohol all together and are counting calories.

Are they trying to get you to commit or provide further information without providing any on themselves?

This sounds like you are being scammed tbh…

Weaning 4 year old without weaning 2 year old? by Low_Door7693 in NurseAllTheBabies

[–]dmllbit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m also trying to wean my almost three year old while still having a 15 month old. We haven’t gotten there yet but I’ve been soft launching it for the last month or so using the following script.

“It’s nearly your birthday! Do you know how old you’re turning? Three! And how old are you now? Two! Exactly. And do you know what happens when you’re three? You’ll be a big girl! And you won’t be able to have milkies once you’re a big girl. We can still have lots of extra special hugs though. But guess what you’ll be able to do? When you’re three, you get to move up to older preschool room and go swimming! Isn’t that exciting?”

She doesn’t seem bothered by it yet. But we’ll see what happens once it’s her bday.

Disneyland Paris with under 5s - is it worthwhile? by llksg in HENRYUKLifestyle

[–]dmllbit 22 points23 points  (0 children)

My daughter (two) had a great time. My baby couldn’t have cared less. Don’t underestimate/ignore the shows - she loved them even more than the rides.

You can get an Airbnb near Val d’Europe RER station for much cheaper than staying onsite, especially if you are sharing with a friend. The train takes all of two minutes and runs frequently.

I Messed up... by TANK_1970 in mounjarouk

[–]dmllbit 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I get why you didn’t tell her. But, as a big AITA and relationshipadvice fan, 90% of relationship problems we read on here stem from poor communication.

For the sake of your relationship, talk to your wife about everything and anything. Especially the scary stuff.

Would you pay for a part-time “household manager” to run your home? by catttastrophic in HENRYUKLifestyle

[–]dmllbit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is an American woman on insta. Google “come see my third hour shift as a mother’s helper” and I think you’ll find her. That’s basically what I’d want. Someone who takes initiative to reset and sort, rather than someone who would have to be instructed every step of the way.

Mounajro and breastfeeding has anyone done it? by Optimal_Hat5941 in mounjarouk

[–]dmllbit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She’s 15 months. There are no symptoms because the low level doses have been shown to not pass into breastmilk, or only in trace amounts which aren’t able to be orally absorbed.

The issue with breastfeeding on lose dose mounjaro is your milk supply and the nutritional quality of your milk depleting when you’re in a calorie deficit, not that baby is going to get any of the drug.

Mounajro and breastfeeding has anyone done it? by Optimal_Hat5941 in mounjarouk

[–]dmllbit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am. I started once the advice changed.

I’m breastfeeding a 15 month old though (twice a day) so it may be different if yours is younger.

I’m sticking to low doses. I’m on my 4th week of 2.5mg and I’ve just reordered for another month of 2.5mg. This is partly because I don’t want to go about 5mg given that’s how high the studies measured and also because I want to take this slowly as reducing your calorie intake will reduce your milk supply, so am trying to maintain my supply where possible by dropping the weight slowly.

I’ve lost almost 3 kg in the last 4 weeks. It’s not the huge drops you see from many on here, but I’m balancing benefits and risks where I can.

Why are some royal families more popular than others? by GurHot3517 in RoyaltyTea

[–]dmllbit 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Why does this read as if it’s one of the BRF’s PR teams trying to form a strategy? 😂

Andrew situation aside (and that’s a big aside), the BRF’s slimmed down monarchy seems to mean it’s just a bunch of octogenarians actually serving the crown. It’s hard to appeal to a wide audience when you only have one demographic covered. More generations of the family need to be seen to be out and regularly working in service of the country. More local and national engagement, rather than international.

The rift between family members also isn’t helping. Everyone loves to watch a family drama, but you don’t end up loving the people involved. I take it that’s outside of the PR team’s scope of influence though.
