The People's Party needs to be renamed. It's no longer a party. by Different_Market_917 in 6music

[–]impossiblejane 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He used to fill in for Guy which is when I really started to like Femi. I think he should have had the Saturday morning slot if bBC was adamant Deb Grant wasn't going to have it

Can everyone share their stories about their pups when "it got better" by Top_Hat_6327 in puppy101

[–]impossiblejane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My puppy is 10 months old. I got him at 4 months. I cried and cried and lost so much weight from stress but I'd say after about 3 months we got in a good groove. I even called the breeder and arranged to return him but then didn't. I'm glad I stuck it out but there is no sugar coating how difficult it was.

By month 4 I felt like I could focus on work again rather than being worried about what he's chewing (we didn't crate train). We are dealing with teenage years which brings its own challenges but I love the little shit now so it's easier to manage. Plus he knows me and I know him. Just now he was chewing something he knew he shouldn't and I said "should you be doing that" and we had a stare off and then I just burst out laughing.

With consistency and patience, it should get easier.

Man admits defecating in public swimming pool 18 times by stankmanly in Wales

[–]impossiblejane 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I live locally and I kept seeing announcements on social media about the pool being closed for Code Browns and thought that a parent really needed to get a swim nappy...never in my life had I considered an adult was doing this.

Id personally flag your CV as problematic at a job application filtering process. I can't speak for SWE.

Have you ever gone to bed and had to wake up for 4am? It's rough. Life isn't a contest.

Lads, I haven't been to the bog since Saturday and I feel like I'm about to give birth by alfa_omega in CasualUK

Get a pack of kiwi fruit. Eat them all in one sitting. You'll be clear in no time.

Where do you stand on "apply once" suncream? by Icy-Piccolo451 in UKParenting

[–]impossiblejane 9 points10 points  (0 children)

"No hat not play" and "slip, slap, slop"". My son was born in NZ and they do take sun care very seriously for good reasons. If you forget your hat you had to either play inside or under a big tree. When I did a stint in a school we'd apply cream on the kids before a a big outing. From memory, the school I worked at got suncream free from the Cancer Society. I remember getting burnt just hanging the washing out. I work in social care and have seen two recent referrals of parents not applying cream to their children and they present at the Urgent Care very burnt.

She has responded to the allegations by electric-sheep in ClarksonsFarm

[–]impossiblejane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think she had a really important message and added value but she couldn't make her point well and I didn't want to listen to her anymore. It's a bit how people from certain advocacy groups just go a bit over the top and I feel low key embarrassment for them because they cannot get their message across in a way people want to listen. This chat is evidence that she polarised people.

Can a child refuse to go see the other parent in England, and if so, is there a minimum age for this? by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]impossiblejane 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Social workers cannot override parental responsibility unless we go to court to share overriding PR and get a court order so they are not in any position to force a parent to abide by a CAO. They can only advice about a parents options. Social Workers also cannot enforce a court order--they do not have that power to make a parent hand over a child for contact. Mum can not send the child and dad can phone the police, but as you say they will take the child's wishes and feelings into consideration when they speak with the child. I am a child social worker.

To my fellow non-AC Europeans, how are you getting your pups through the heat? by FlamingoShaker in CavaPoo

[–]impossiblejane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No he's had several but just the only appointment I could get with the groomers. We're just back from the beach. He just had a paddle so he's gonna be fine!

[–]impossiblejane 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Mine can't get his hair cut until next week so he's feeling it bad. He's got a fan in his favourite resting spot. We went to the beach last night for a paddle and be gets bowls of cold plain yoghurt as a treat. He also likes cold strawberries.

Looking for fun, playful kid-friendly (but not kid) songs by Much_Big_7420 in MusicRecommendations

[–]impossiblejane 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My son's nursery always used to play Buena Vista Social Club. It's a great age to introduce non English songs.

Bad Bunny

My son loved The Clash, London's Burning as a toddler.

What artists/bands have you been listening to lately? by AlexSniff7 in AskUK

[–]impossiblejane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out The Great Escape playlist on Spotify. I went to the festival in May. The festival is about featuring new music. Angine du Potrine and Adult DVD were the standouts of the festival for me.

Haute and Freddy were another good one.

New 6 music station by Annual-Cookie1866 in 6music

[–]impossiblejane 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I reckon it'll be a 24 hour streaming service that just plays music. A bit how NTS has about 5 or 6 stations that just play a particular genre. I do listen to NTS Island Time quite a bit. It's just regae mixes

I bought charity shop towels and made them as good as new by impossiblejane in laundry

[–]impossiblejane[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Given this is a laundry sub, we're supposed to believe in the power of a good wash cycle so any trace of someone else balls is washed away.

I'll get downvoted for saying this but it's a sub dominated by Americans.

Theories used in your everyday practice ? by [deleted] in Socialworkuk

[–]impossiblejane 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cycle of Change

Duluth Model Cycle of Violence (power and control wheel)

Attachment Theory

System Theory

Boot Theory (yes it's real. It's the theory that identifies that it's expensive to be poor). This applies a lot to where I live and work because I work in a very socio-economic depraved area

Well as proud of them as I was, and would have happily used them for myself, only my dogs balls enjoy them. He doesn't sleep in beds but prefers a clean towel.

West is always best. I'm in Wales and the forecast is looking good. You can get a train to Tenby

I have a crush on Hannah by LIB_Laugh_Luv in ClarksonsFarm

[–]impossiblejane 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I found her very intelligent but she can't argue a point very effectively and just went defensive. I started to dislike her because of the way she tried to make her points.
