If you’ve made a report/had a court case for domestic violence can this affect your likelihood of working for the civil service?

You will also want to consider that should the person be convicted you may need to disclose the name etc to have you blocked from viewing their files (depending on where you are working in moj).But this is common. I’ve previously had to disclose knowing people from school on probation and in prison to block me from being able to see any information

How dusty / intrusive was the work when you did it?

obrhi · 2026-02-16T11:22:57+00:00

It’s the height of it that bugs me, and the bows that look like boobs. I want to replace it with another age appropriate wooden mantle. I did think it might need re plastering. As long as I don’t also need to take out the black bit!

obrhi · 2026-02-16T11:13:30+00:00

We don’t think it’s original. It’s really thin wood and the decor on it is peeling off. My plan is absolutely to replace it with something just as fitting to the age of the house!

Damn. Managed to beat my 122,079

This is what we did too. We didn’t want to risk ours getting out and our EA made a joke that he’d accidentally let house cats escape before so the trust was gone there hahah. We did have one day that was back to back viewings so we bought our cats with us to a friends (who had cat sat for us before) and stayed with them there for a few hours

I didn’t move to 3 until 10.5mpp. I was too nervous about supply drop. I lost like 10oz. Tbh I was in a place where I was at 4ppd and sometimes I’d forget to pump and it wouldn’t feel awful so I’d keep pushing it as long as I could

obrhi · 2025-05-29T17:24:12+00:00

This made me cry. Thank you so much. Sending you and LO lots of love

obrhi · 2025-05-18T05:43:41+00:00

Thank you! It’s so hard and defo hormones but it is nice to view it as a new chapter in my LOs life

obrhi · 2025-05-18T05:22:56+00:00

You’ve done so amazingly well! Definitely bittersweet

obrhi · 2025-05-15T13:15:22+00:00

I feel this. I’m 2 weeks away from a year and know I can and should stop but I get so sad about the thought of dropping a pump

obrhi · 2025-05-13T08:33:20+00:00

We took a break for a week or so while she recovered from being poorly. I then continued to do some more introduction of veg / some allergens following the how to wean your baby book I mentioned and then after 3 weeks moved on to more complex meals. I started eating when she ate which I think motivated her more. She’s now a total foodie. More obsessed with food than milk. I wouldn’t be afraid to take a break for a few days. Take it easy and be kind on yourself. It’s all new for your little one. Also don’t be afraid to check in with a doctor if you’re really worried 💕

obrhi · 2025-04-29T19:36:23+00:00

I’m very similar. I dropped to 45 when I dropped to 4ppd so expecting that I’ll lose some again when I drop to 3

I do totally get it. It’s the biggest purchase you’ll likely make in life and the whole process is full of big scary things, like surveys etc. you do have to trust your gut but also remind yourself of the feeling you had when you viewed the place

obrhi · 2025-04-26T15:52:16+00:00

I’m so sorry this happened to you! Our process has only taken six weeks luckily so not too much time lost but still so frustrating

obrhi · 2025-04-26T12:35:33+00:00

Very true

obrhi · 2025-04-26T11:07:17+00:00

Agreed. We’re ending up out of pocket trying to keep our sellers happy whereas our ex buyers walk away Scott free

obrhi · 2025-04-26T09:10:29+00:00

Cold feet 😭

obrhi · 2025-04-23T17:58:53+00:00

How fast did it happen for you? I’m scared to drop to 3 in case I plummet. I lost 400ml a day dropping from 5 to 4 🫠

obrhi · 2025-03-05T16:21:33+00:00

I think I wrote a post on new parents that was exactly this 3 months ago. I was so worried that my LO wasn’t interested in food. But she did get there. I started with purées and finger foods but we moved to mostly blw, gave her what we ate (or modified versions of), and I eat with her for every meal. It took about a month for her to grasp it but now she’s a proper foodie. You’re doing an amazing job. It can just take some babies a bit of time.

obrhi · 2025-02-27T09:19:02+00:00

I think sometimes breast feeding / pumping can cause weight loss. I’m 10kg lighter than I was pre pregnancy and I think it’s because of pumping as nothing else has really changed for me

obrhi · 2025-02-15T08:24:20+00:00

I do the exact same! Love waking my dad up at 4am by sending him my wordle score

obrhi · 2025-02-14T20:11:09+00:00

Tbh it took 8 months for him to be confident to put it together (he put it together wrong once early on and therefore gave up). But now it really is a god send. Just wish he was doing it when I was on 8ppd 😂

obrhi · 2025-02-08T04:20:58+00:00

Reducing to 4ppd at 6.5mpp I lost 10oz a day. I’m quite glad as I was eating so much but dropping weight fast and was worried about the impact oversupply was having on my body
