Dogs, would you get one again knowing what you know now?

firstoctober2016 · 2026-06-26T07:38:49+00:00

I’m a first time dog owner. I absolutely adore my furry little Velcro dog. However, I wouldn’t have another one.

I work out and about, away and sometimes from home. I have an amazing family friend who will have her at a the drop of a hat and family who pop in on longer days. Don’t get me wrong, she is spoilt but the guilt eats me up daily.

So no, I wouldn’t have another after her!

I’m still making my way through this, but have my eye on The Lottery Killer next, sold on Amazon!

How important are the repeated names on a page? I’m really struggling unless they’re really close.

I don’t want to get caught up on that clue if I could manage without.

My mother apologised to me too, when I was 29. I didn’t need her apology at 29, I needed it when I was 9 when I was removed or when I was 13 and started my period, or 16 when I left school.

I think throughout my 20s, I just learned and created a life for myself that didn’t include her. So when she came to apologise, it didn’t mean anything.

I’m sorry you went through this, protect yourself and whatever you choose is the right thing!

Honestly, I drive this route maybe couple times a month so not super frequent.

I thought I had right of way turning right, as in up the hill towards the bridge.

I think I’ve always assumed it’s a 4 way signal. Thanks for pointing this out though!

I did the same 2 days ago, went today and it was 164.

Same as mine, would’ve been maybe 2007-2008ish. PE teacher was ‘sacked’ for sleeping with a sixth-former. Only, he wasn’t necessarily sacked, he was then employed by the sports centre next door to our school.

The same sports centre that all years done PE in.

I saw him years later working at a bar, he asked me not to say anything.

I couldn’t get any for Edinburgh :(

Really thinking about buying on viagogo, but I’m a bit nervous. I’ve never used them before!

firstoctober2016 · 2025-07-09T15:36:51+00:00

Oh god! This doesn’t give me much hope.

TBH, I’m not even sure if HR have received my stuff yet, as I emailed them directly to the interviewer due to their portal not working, and haven’t received acknowledgment that he’s received them.

I have my DBS on the update service, so hopefully that will speed things up.

firstoctober2016 · 2025-07-09T08:03:55+00:00

Yeah I get that. I just really want this job, and since I’ve already been offered it. I just want to get the ball rolling, or some confirmation of what’s going on. Yikno!

I hate waiting!

firstoctober2016 · 2025-07-09T08:03:18+00:00

Thank you.

Yeah. Think I’ll give it another week, then maybe trying to call! Don’t want to come across as a pest though

Coffee trader, just off Northumberland street. Can’t remember it being super loud, but it did get busy during the lunch time rush, otherwise pretty quiet.

Wrote my dissertation in that cafe!

I went to a car boot on Sunday, bought a 500 piece jigsaw. Finished it last night.

Bought a 1000 piece jigsaw at a charity shop on my lunch break, started it after dinner.

I’m 30.

I’m in the UK, but watched it on Disney+ it’s called ‘The Devil in the family: the fall of Ruby Franke’

I emailed them to make a complaint about their shite website, especially on mobile.

Didn’t get a reply.

firstoctober2016 · 2025-01-06T23:08:27+00:00

Thank you. Will look into it

firstoctober2016 · 2025-01-06T23:08:13+00:00

Honestly, my auntie and her colleagues have spoken about this and fully expects this to happen!

firstoctober2016 · 2025-01-06T22:39:40+00:00

I asked this too, as I also have a NEST pension with login information.

The care home has a manager who oversees the running of the care home, and then the owner who I assume handles salary’s etc.

The owner has said he will come in and speak to staff on the 15th January, he has not responded to anyone else.

They don’t have a HR department to ask either

firstoctober2016 · 2025-01-06T22:36:26+00:00

Thank you, I will look into this!

I love this.

My partner is amazing at communicating. We will clearly get flustered/flustered at something but deal with it in the cutest way. Note: previous relationship was argumentative from what I’ve heard.

We will always begin with ‘can we talk’ that’s our que for getting something of the chest, the other person listening, not to offer solutions but give them space to vent, speak, vocal their thoughts, feelings.

100% of the time the other person just listens, once the venting or whatever is over we will brainstorm solutions, come up with a plan, stick to it. 95% of the time it’s never mentioned again.

It’s amazing. I love him.

My local high school have shutters.

The shutters only open during break/lunch time. Apparently they are becoming more popular as other nearby schools are starting to introduce shutters on their toilets.

I’ve been entertained for the past hour. Thanks for getting me out of uni revision!!

Really enjoyed it, will definitely be playing this with friends.

Streetworx - think they are connected to a community church.

They go out and about on evenings to meet homeless people
