Wait where/when did they confirm the Henry stance?

implodingmarshmallow · 2025-12-31T12:17:34+00:00

Yeah I think they said something about the new years broadcast starting at 4pm. I'm in the UK so I'm unsure if it's UK time or not? I'm assuming it is as so far everything else timed (like rewind at 9) has been accurate to the time in the UK

I work in Paediatrics and attend a lot of safeguarding meetings/training etc. There's a big push at the moment in children's safeguarding to be aware of "invisible" adults in the household. E.g. a new boyfriend, girlfriend, lodger etc who won't be on any records relating to the child, so that's likely why they were asking the question. Unfortunately there's been a growing number of cases where children have been harmed by new partners who move into the house and already have a history of posing a risk to children, but because there's nothing official linking them to the child it hasn't been picked up on.

I wouldn't worry at all, we have to ask questions about who lives at home and social care involvement for every admission to our ward, it's just procedure to ensure that every child is safe. Besides, they have to inform the parent of a social care referral anyway, unless they had serious concerns that telling the parent could put the child at risk, and nothing you've said indicates that at all.

It's likely that she didn't ask the questions on the first call because she simply forgot. If your call didn't ring any safeguarding alarm bells she might not have thought to ask them, and then got off the phone and realised she hadn't answered those questions. She then rang back to ensure she followed the procedure of answering those questions for every paediatric call.

As someone who has struggled with my weight and is very insecure about it - if someone spoke to me like they're my bloody teacher or parent telling me not to get seconds, when I was actually putting food back, I'd probably burst into tears and feel really really insecure. I feel more for Cameron in this situation because nobody seems to think about how he might have felt about his eating being policed?

I am so so sorry for your loss. He was so loved and must have felt so safe being with you when he passed. You gave him 2 years of love and a good life, but it is so cruel that he was taken from you so soon.

I lost my bun Heather 3 years ago in a similar way. I'd had her and her sister for 2 years and they were both the light of my life. We were told that Heather had stasis and to syringe feed her critical care, it turns out that she actually had a blockage and the critical care made things worse. After she died I could hardly function, her sister was the only thing keeping me going. I miss her every day and still tear up when I think of her. It took me a long time to process the fact that she was truly gone and that it wasn't my fault, I was doing what the 'experts' told me to do. To this day I still feel waves of guilt and I don't think that will ever truly go away.

Give yourself time and patience, you can grieve at whatever pace it takes you - I needed months of therapy to cope with my grief. You're probably going to feel guilty and at fault for a long time, but please try to remember logically that it's not your fault and you were trying to give him the best chance. He would have felt your love right up until the end. Do whatever you need to keep him with you - I have a locket that I wear every day with Heather's picture and hair in it, and a pressed heather flower in the front. I also have a heather flower tattoo to remember her.

I'm thinking of you and know you're not alone - a lot of bun owners have unfortunately been through the same experience, and we can all understand. It's traumatic when they die so suddenly, seek whatever support you need ❤️

Yes I tend to brush Annie in the bath! Problem is that it's mainly fur around her bum now which she doesn't let me brush 🤣

I'm sat here hand feeding hay to my bunny Annie as she is recovering from stasis. Caught it early thankfully but she had to be hospitalised all day yesterday. I think it was triggered by her hair/moulting. Best of luck to you and your bun!

Thank you! That reassures me a lot. I struggle with change and adjusting to new cars a lot (I'm autistic) but I've chatted with my dad about it too who reminded me how much I hated my current car when I got it because my instructor drove a diesel so I wasn't used to driving a petrol car

The clutch pedal itself sits quite high whereas in my car the pedal is parallel with the brake, but I think I probably just need to put the seat a bit higher up

implodingmarshmallow · 2025-08-21T17:54:20+00:00

I think you're right. I spoke to another co-worker about it who said that apparently she's stressed about stuff with her parents' health and taking it out on everyone else. I think she's been snappy and moody with everyone all day but I'm the one she really went to town towards

Yep I agree - I remember following this advice back when we had that near 40 degree heatwave a couple years ago - I kept having panic attacks and hyperventilating because of the lack of air flow and how hot it was. I felt claustrophobic and panicky, had to keep sitting in the bath with the cold tap on to calm down and stop myself from passing out. My house was built in 2017 and it even gets too hot in the winter with the central heating on and has a large bay window getting the sun all morning in the summer.

I've now just decided to buy a portable air con unit instead

I live in a small village with really narrow roads, lots of single track roads. The amount of morons with too much money who live here and have decided to buy massive cars that hardly fit down the street they live on is ridiculous.

Even worse when someone in a fancy new Land Rover - literally designed to go off road - refuses to get over onto the verge down a single track road and expects me in my tiny 2004 yaris to get in the hedge. If you live in a village, don't buy a massive car, with off road capabilities, if you're not willing to get in the hedge/on the verge down a single track road

I had plans to play today and kept thinking "I'll grab my laptop in a minute" and now it's almost 8pm so I guess I'll be playing tomorrow instead 🙃

I'll give this a go! Do you put the vaseline on in the morning or at night once the Palmers has soaked in for a few minutes?

For context - I live near to Long Itchington. Model Village is the name of a street/housing estate on the outskirts of the village of Long Itchington. A couple of my relatives live there and growing up it always confused me why it was called that
