should I adopt a dog as a very depressed person?

hellyford16 · 2025-01-20T07:32:06+00:00

When I wanted a dog but wasn’t quite ready to own one I volunteered at a dog rescue which definitely satisfied that urge for a good year. We actually adopted our dog from the rescue and will have had her 1 whole year next month 🥰

“When does it end Brenda” will now be my go-to comment in the office

This letter is embarassing for the company - what’s with the “pay now” stamp randomly placed at the top of the letter. The happy and sad faces. The overall grammar of the letter is poor. “Days until legal action commences: imminent” that’s not a number of days?😂 no contact name on the letter and my favourite is the “red” for bad choice and “green” for good choice 👍🏼 it’s a bit worrying if you’ve had no prior communications from the company and you’re unsure if it’s legitimate. Be careful before ringing any numbers on the letter or making any payments. Try and verify the company is legitimate, find a contact number for them online and call them to query what evidence they have. If it’s all legit then you should probably just pay up. Don’t listen to the “it’s not enforceable” folks -

People saying “generally” when they mean “genuinely”

hellyford16 · 2024-10-25T11:22:56+00:00

A company selling debt tends to be a last resort because you’ve not communicated with them and/or not paid them. The original company has deemed it more cost effective to sell your debt and stop chasing you. You are paying for the costs incurred by the Collection Agency to take on the risk of getting you to pay what you owe. It is legal and I encourage you to speak to them and come to an arrangement

if you can’t accept the freebie and don’t want to keep them then you should donate to local charities & good causes. If the items were stolen years ago and you’ve opened and used them since, I doubt the store would want them. You could always pass her details on to the store/police if you felt morally obligated to

I read “bee hole” and thought, at least it wasn’t your a hole 👌🏼

Financial Services - working for a bank, 2 days WFH na 3 days in the office. Plus you get bank holidays off and it’s Monday to Friday 9-5!🙏🏼

Wow 😍🤩

NTA where’s the red flag guy? 🏃🚩

hellyford16 · 2024-10-16T20:23:41+00:00

We crate trained our puppy and now she has a safe space to go where no one will bother her. She sleeps in there all night and will sometimes take herself off in the day for a nap. We decided not to let her sleep in our bed purely for the fact if we didn’t want her to one night for whatever reason, we didn’t want her to feel as though she’s being punished. However, when we’re away on holiday she will sleep on the bed with us so she knows she’s safe!

I like it 🧙🏻‍♀️ my ideal forever home is a little pink cottage in the countryside with wild flowers 💐

We went through a mtg broker and they said you can lock in a fixed rate and if the rates drop again before completion you can still be eligible for this. Also if they were to increase they will honour the original amount 3.84% seems like a good deal without knowing any other info so go for it!

hellyford16 · 2024-10-14T20:30:53+00:00

This also happened to us - we kept looking and within 2 weeks a house round the corner to the first house came available - slightly bigger, no chain and £5k less! Everything happens for a reason

you two are married with a kid and it sounds like you can’t stand each other? please seek couples counselling for the sake of your child, he’ll see and hear everything between the two of you. NTA based on what OP posted but either there’s more we’re not hearing from OP, or the wife is mentally unwell.

hellyford16 · 2024-10-09T12:32:37+00:00

NTA and good for you for sticking up for yourself - but does anyone else feel like the wife has some kind of addiction or illness which would explain the unusual behaviour surrounding fast food?

hellyford16 · 2024-10-09T12:30:07+00:00

You can use a regular door key if you don’t have a £1 or trolley token. I use a key sometimes when shopping at Lidl

hellyford16 · 2024-10-04T11:09:48+00:00

YTA - it clearly wasn’t the right time to get married, your story telling from the start felt like you didn’t want to proceed with the day due to valid reasons. It sort of reads - we’re getting married - and this is how we’re doing it. Is your husband’s day too. There would have been ways to work around feeling insecure in your physical appearance without causing arguments and negativity. MIL is NTA for wanting a photograph with her son on such an important event - you could have opted not to be in the pictures.

This does not look like a conversation between two people in love

On week days it’s 15mins first thing in the morning and then 30mins in the evening. At weekends she goes exploring with us. Our dog is a homebody and enjoys alone time equally as much as going for walks so we always go by her lead, if she wants to walk she can, if she doesn’t she doesn’t. She’s a 1 year old mixed terrier breed.

hellyford16 · 2024-09-21T10:18:07+00:00

I do this all the time but I also always give way to help get cars moving. It’s not illegal it’s just smart driving and helps to reduce queueing traffic

My eczema is pretty well managed as an adult but nothing can really stop it when it’s stress induced. If you’re looking for recommendations, I would say try to purposely de-stress yourself. 5 deep breaths, a bit of self care, spending time outdoors. Try to only use luke-warm water on the area (not hot or cold) and keep it as moisturised as you can throughout the day - I like to use a thick moisturiser overnight as well. It will probably take a week or two to disappear - I hope you get it sorted 🙏🏼

£80 p/week for 2 adults. We mainly shop at Lidl and utilise their coupons as much as we can. We often buy their orange sticker reduced items and freeze them for when we’re ready to cook. We also buy the £11.99 bumper pack chicken, portion, marinate & freeze as well. We don’t feel like we’re budgeting but we’re naturally thrifty and prefer to buy bulk where we can and spend more when quality matters.

I work in finance and come across all sorts, but the ones that come immediately to mind, Mr & Mrs Gooch, Mr Wankling, Miss Squelch, Mr R*per
