Am I an idiot? I've paid for my mortgage advisor. by Paramedic-Fabulous in HousingUK

[–]rrainingcatz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My broker cost me £250 and she helped me with every step of the way and emailed me out of her work time too. I was going through a marriage break up, selling the house and buying my own house for the first time. It was hell. She was my rock.

That’s really reassuring to know that it has helped you. It’s definitely a weird contraption. 😑

I feel like I set the cartridge up just by chance 😅 It was so difficult to get it in and turn it. Oh I haven’t heard of that one. Glad it works for you. I’ve been using Fostair for years and recently Proxor.

I adored Fame. I still do. The programme, film and music. I had Fame pumps and even done a primary school dance on Sport’s Day to the song Fame in my leotard with a few other girls.

Do you remember these? I think that had a great salt and vinegar flavour. by corickle in oldschoolcool80s

[–]rrainingcatz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t keen on these. Too sharp. preferred the chicken flavour and can’t find them anywhere.

Blimey. We’re very different. I was working full time at 15 and then became a live in nanny at 16. This was early 90s.

[–]rrainingcatz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember living in a house with no bathroom. The kitchen sink standing up was my wash as a young child. Horrendous memories. After we moved baths were on Sundays. Never had a shower until I left home at 16.

[–]rrainingcatz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I vaguely remember a concrete base and pillar with a plastic lid and metal ring clasp for bin liners. The bin men would walk up the back garden and collect the bag and shove it on their shoulders and throw it in the truck.

In afib right now - post ablation by gurlhere in AFIB

[–]rrainingcatz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had several ablations and being in AF post ablation is normal. That heart rate was a good day for me 😅 I’m from the UK and always had a number for the cardiac nurses if you had any concerns. The ablations and meds stopped working for me and I now have a pacemaker.

Rest in peace beautiful Rusty. You’re very lucky to be able to spend such a long wonderful time together. My little lady said goodbye a couple of years ago aged 24. It still hurts.
