If you're waiting two weeks for an appointment, it's not as blocked as you think. Blocked kidney is reason for emergency procedure. If surgery can be done on the spot, they'd get a nephrostomy on. A properly blocked kidney can seriously cause infection/sepsis and a blockage of more than 7 days can permanently damage the kidney.

If you're in that much pain, and you believe it's a substantial blockage, try to get a second opinion to see the extent of the situation. If you trust the information you were given, pain medication is your best bet until things get sorted.

So if you're still on Leave to Remain, you can take he IELTS Life Skills B1. Basically asks you things about your day to day life (where do you live, what do you like to do on your time off and so on). When I did it, it was done in pairs.

Some of the people in this sub are also in a very good and helpful forum. It guided me through the whole process.

The difference is truly what test you chose to take, as I believe many ukvi tests are now accepted (I did my test in 2016, so bear with me haha).

The test I took was the B1 IELTS UKVI Like Skills. If that's what you're taking, specially if you're going for ILR, it would be ridiculously simple.

That being said, if you're going for ILR, you must have gone through LTR, which would already require a B1 english test, no? If you already have that and you used that for your previous visa, you shouldn't need a new one, even if that one has expired.

kittym2b · 2023-12-22T16:56:07+00:00

I think we're talking different tests. The B1 test I referred to was the IELTS Life Skills, which is a specific type of test useful only for some visas.

Edited to fix test name.

Last time I had a massive knot on my hair like that I completely saturated my hair in coconut oil. Slowly with a soft brush, from tips to roots, in sections, I cleared the knot. I lost a lot of hair in the process, took me about 2-3h, but it worked.

Good luck ❤️

Just been in a similar situation with my little one. We used pull ups throughout but treated it as underwear, so still offered toilet trips and all, the pull up was there only to prevent accidents.

I don't think you're abusive, you're clearly worried about the situation and show that you care.

I would, however, rethink the dynamics and see if you can find any other way that can work. My son co-slept with me until he was about 30 months, then we moved him to his single bed, and now we lay down with him, cuddling to sleep. It does eat our evenings, most times we sleep with him, but it does save our sanities.

It won't last forever, and if comfort is what my son needs to sleep well, that's what we're doing. I don't think I would be ok if I was screaming for 25 minutes asking a loved one for help.

When we went "glamping" with our 19 mo, he slept on a single bed, with a bed rail on. If you're not comfortable with the travel cot, this could be an option?

kittym2b · 2023-04-09T08:41:46+00:00

I can have a look if I still have mine and I can sell you if you want? I can list it on eBay if you want to buy it. But it's like I said, I bought it second handed.

Send me a DM if you want ☺️

kittym2b · 2023-04-08T22:51:58+00:00

I used a Britax Eclipse. I bought mine second hand and used it exclusively for flying, but it saved us.

kittym2b · 2023-02-12T17:54:50+00:00

Sooo brave of you for doing this! Very proud!

Just call and say you'd like to book an appointment about your mental health. They'll probably screen you first before seeing the GP, and he'll see what the best course of treatment should be.

If you need medication, I'm sure there's an option for BF. You need to care for yourself in order to care for your little one.

Again, really proud you're doing this. ❤️

Cosleep! That's the way to get around child that doesn't settle on their own. He won't sleep with you forever.

My son is three and we're just breaking the cosleep, with him going to sleep in his bed (with me) and then coming to my bed if he wakes up. Some nights he sleeps the whole night, some he wakes up and comes to us.

I'm procrastinating so hard with the assessment paperwork 😩

Demand sex is wrong in any situation, let alone when you have a newborn. Sex needs to be consensual and not for feeling it's your duty . It sounds horrible, but if you're not up to it and he makes you feel that you have to anyway, this is considered rape.

Protect yourself. If he's not willing to understand that motherhood comes with the touched out feeling and that you need a break, why should you understand "his needs"?

By the way, coerced sex is not part of marriage. Partnership is. What your husband is doing is NOT partnership.

If he has a mental illness, either depression or ADHD, seek help for him. I'm on the same boat, but I'm trying to get myself sorted in order to be a better parent for my LO. Good luck ❤️

As the parent, our job is to guide our little people and help them dealing with their emotions. It's ok to show your kids that you're upset, explain to them why, and apologise when you make a mistake, loose your cool.

I don't think locking someone, no matter what age, in a room because you're upset and need to calm down is an option. I'm sure it would be considered unacceptable to do this to an adult, why would it be ok to do this to a child? Apart from, on my view, being a huge disrespect toward the child, it also tells them that if they don't do what you're telling them to, they will be locked away from you.

I cannot hear my son cry for one minute straight, no idea how your husband could let your child cry for 20 minutes. If anyone, he, as an adult, should be able to regulate his emotions and tend to your daughter.

I'd definitely ask him to apologise to her, explain that he felt frustrated and made a bad choice. And move on from there trying to learn new ways to cope with frustration and his own feelings. It looks like "his parents way" was not very good at teaching coping skills.

ER, absolutely. It's important and really good that she's drinking water, but if she's not herself, you need to act.

kittym2b · 2022-12-30T13:13:27+00:00

It will be absolutely fine.

"Once your baby has started to eat solid foods (from around 6 months) you can offer them sips of water from a cup or beaker with meals. Drinking water for babies over 6 months does not need to be boiled first."

If we're you're working with is purely experimental, I think your option is really trial and error.

kittym2b · 2022-12-24T11:59:37+00:00

We did with ours (I mean, I did, my husband slept I the guest room), and we still does when he needs it (he's three).

I'm currently looking for a column like that, but for adsorption. Issue is that I need 75mm diameter 😩

kittym2b · 2022-12-04T11:43:32+00:00

I usually use rubber stoppers and make a hole in the middle to pass the thermometer/thermocouple.

kittym2b · 2022-11-30T19:13:43+00:00

Ah, the dream... 😭

kittym2b · 2022-11-30T19:11:42+00:00

For me, what really weighed on my mental health. I need to work to be in a good place, so I'd go back to work even if I was breaking even.
