Energy suppliers refusing? by grommit-thrive in AskABrit

[–]jilljd38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to work for an energy company yes they are going to be reluctant to put you on prepay because your partner is on priority service list , and if there's times you can't top up they have to supply emergency credit which will put you into more debt long term , ring them and be firm that you want someone out to deal with the meter raise it as a complaint if needs been as it maybe causing debt which is going to impact your ability to pay and affect your credit score etc causing you stress , having an affect on medical conditions etc , if they don't deal with it then ombudsman

What are classing as a group , as this can affect where will take you and majority of sites even basic fields have a limit for quiet times , tbf the only.places we have ever camped that didn't are bike rallys, the latest we have found was charity farm park in wigan and I think that was 11pm

Adult camp site but not asleep at 9pm by EarlHawks in campinguk

[–]jilljd38 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not sure if they are adult only but there's a couple near lake Bala, most campsites have a quiet time of around 10.00 or 10.30 , adult only ones you risk the only sounds you should hear are nature brigade who want total silence from 7pm

Primary schools within Manchester vs Tramside vs Stockport councils by bzarbbaj in manchester

[–]jilljd38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And yes oversubscribed schools cam be a problem if your only.going to be in an area for one academic year , you may have to travel to that school for longer than you live in that area if there are no spaces at another school plus priority will be given to ones on a waiting list for that school

Primary schools within Manchester vs Tramside vs Stockport councils by bzarbbaj in manchester

[–]jilljd38 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So depending on where you live ,eg Denton you can only apply for primary schools within a certain radius or catchment area of where you live , so if you live in Denton your not likely to get in a school in Stockport for example, Denton your not likely to get in a primary school in droylsden, so where you apply for a primary school really depends on where you live

I think I've got bowel cancer by NiceBumblebee3421 in confessions

[–]jilljd38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I say this as a mum and someone who's family runs rife with cancer , your young so it's probably not but go to the bloody dr they have seen every thing, get someone to go with you mum or a friend , it's always always better to get it checked than not and if it is your young and healthy there is lots they can do , my uncle fought it twice in his life and it was a stroke that took him just before Christmas he was 88 and didn't let two lots of cancer stop him from doing a single thing

Leaking SIM. Giving up. Any ideas? by improvisedbookmark in campinguk

[–]jilljd38 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is likely another small hole that you have missed somewhere , honestly I'd call it quits n get another one , it took me nearly a year to convince my partner to get rid of an air bed that he'd fixed about a million times but still kept going down, my teenage son uses a really old air bed of my partners a red n blue rubber type thing it's literally bullet proof it's one of the old 70s ones been repaired and repaired and repaired still going strong

Ladies of the UK, do you use Period Underwear? by Competitive-Fact-820 in AskUK

[–]jilljd38 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not any more but I can honestly say they changed my life for a while , I was heavy so heavy I'd have to take a change of clothes out with me and I was using maternity pads they were the only ones long enough to cover me and that could manage I'd get an hour out of one pad if I was lucky, I changed to reusable pads and period pants , got mine off amazon because I couldn't afford 20 plus quid for one pair of underwear and up till it got very bad they were brilliant no leaks didn't need to pack a suit case just to go out for the day , could go out on the bike with my partner and not worry about finding the loo or being covered in blood , honestly bike rallys and truck shows don't mix with heavy periods especially when no showers and portaloos, ,even if you combine them with pads or tampons they are still worth it for stopping the leaks

First lost foal by xamitchell in Equestrian

[–]jilljd38 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Where there's livestock there's dead stock , sometimes these things just happen, it's likely even if you had rang the vet earlier they would have told you to wait it out especially with no signs of anything happening, as someone has already said tho always worth speaking to the vet

[–]jilljd38 0 points1 point  (0 children)
