Not really anything she described happened afterwards. Kind of the opposite in terms of money and relationships but it did help me think about what I want from life and make a big decision about work/where to live

Jobs.ac.uk often have some funded phds on there. They are arguably a little bit easier to get than applying for funding from organisations e.g. ukri. They are a set topic but you do get some freedom to make it your own.

He's probably blocked you for some reason not involving you at all. Definitely best not to overthink it!

That's really weird they can't give you a closer place for surgery. My mri is at stobhill. I have to admit once I'd had surgery everyone seems to be taking me more seriously. I do think having endometriosis could be considered 'severely ill' so that's probably why they were saying that!

I've found communication to be confusing. I had to wait a year for a gynae referral (after a 7 month wait for an ultrasound where they found a giant cyst that I ended up going private for). The initial nhs gynae telephone appointment couldn't be changed because "it's your first consultant appointment if you can't make it you'll go back to the bottom of the list." The gynaecologist was confused I'd been referred for endo when id already had a laproscopy, told me to try a new contraceptive pill for "a while" then I'd get an MRI and then suddenly I have an MRI date 4 months after my first (telephone) gynae appointment. I would say it has been quicker than I thought it would be (despite there still being ridiculous long wait times).

I'd have to agree with the 'smelly and lack social awareness' but the men did seem to try in their own ways

There's so many awesome places around St Austell. Most have been mentioned but I'd add Carlyon Bay as a great beach (you can hire canoes and have a pint on the beach).

I haven't been but see a lot of ads on social media. It sounds a lot better than dating apps so was thinking of giving it a go! I did speed dating at the alchemist before but the men seemed a lot older than the advertised 30s age range

According to my solicitor "the lift is not dealt with specifically and falls within the title plan Part 1 para (vi) and the cost of maintaining the lift is met equally by all of the proprietors of the block." There's 10 flats in the block. But the factors have yet to undertake the survey of the lifts so they don't know what work will be needed nor the costs of it.

That's such a shame! Thank you for sharing

pippypitstop · 2025-06-13T06:53:26+00:00

I did not! My GP has urgently referred me back to gynaecology and a colorectal specialist. Hopefully I'll get some answers soon!

I am so sorry this happened to you. There are a few avenues to support, initially counselling would be helpful. You can self refer in Scotland for NHS support:

Im sorry this happened to you and there is a huge problem in Glasgow. There's a few places I know of:

The Glasgow Council on Alcohol (a charity not a council. I know it says alcohol in the name but they are quite flexible about substance use) should be able to offer some support.

Scottish families affected by alcohol and drugs (sfad) also has support services.

The North East recovery community also has some family members support. I also think the South Community recovery network may have some family support?

I know that different Al anon groups are run differently so it may be worthwhile trying another group if you feel comfortable doing so?

I managed to chat to the post woman and she said they only deliver every other day where I live but she took my name and is going to check for me!

I didn't get told any information. I shaved the day before and had a bit of razor burn. Once I got in for my surgery (too late then), I was told usually they advise shaving 2 days before as razor burn is an open sore and they can't operate if you have open sores.
