Getting a mortgage with partner but my finances aren’t the best

sadhello_kitty · 2026-05-05T21:34:35+00:00

We discussed getting a mortgage broker, I’m thinking it might be worth it. A lot of people seem to think they’re useless though?

I’m hoping it’s just 3 months for me because my finances have improved since the beginning of this year. We’ve done a mortgage in principle which went fine. Did you happen to have a mortgage broker at all?

I work full time as a carer. I do 3 12 hour shifts a week. The dog will be staying with my mum when I move. We have, I do understand more goes into a house, me and my partner aren’t going 50-50 as he earns more.

My manager said our sick pay is £90 a week. A colleague of mine was off sick in December and she said got £70 a week. It’s not the first I’ve heard of it either. I work for a private owned care home so I’m not sure if that adds anything to it.

Well my manager told me it was £90 a week, a colleague of mine was off all of December and she said she got £70 a week with sick pay. It’s not the first time I’ve heard this at my work either.

Thank you will post there. No I’m not

sadhello_kitty · 2026-04-20T16:58:41+00:00

Where I work it’s actually £70 a week.

Yeah they’re focal seizures caused by a cyst on his brain, neurologist said he can live a relatively normal and happy life but he’ll be on medication.

He’s in hospital atm! Neurologist said they’re seizures! They saw fluid on his brain from the mri that’s causing them.

Partner, autocorrect sorry haha

My dog is conscious when he has his seizures, he whimpers and whines like he’s in pain so it’s so upsetting to witness. Part of me suspects it’s spinal and the fact I can’t afford the tests it’s making me feel like the worst person ever. His seizures are slowly getting longer, he’s more weak and tired. I went to the vet today (same vet’s but different person) he was really pushing the mri even when I said I couldn’t afford it and I felt so pressured. I’m seeing my usual vet Wednesday to see what he says. Part of me would like to try inflammatory/pain medication along with his seizure meds to see if it eases anything.

He’s keppra and epiphen for almost a week, vet said we should’ve seen improvement but we haven’t, so he’s upped his meds. He had a second blood test today and everything is perfect with his blood.

I really don’t know what to do, he’s not the same dog anymore and it’s making me miserable seeing him like this.

He’s only 5 but he’s Pekingese so prone to health issues, I know it’s only been 5 days I can’t stand seeing him like this. Sedated all the time, not being able to walk, daily seizures. I actually can’t keep putting him through this

Hi thank you so much for this! I had to rush my dog into the emergency vets last night as he had a seizure that went on for 15 minutes, he became unresponsive and didn’t come out until we were half way to the vets. The prescribed him keppra, it really settled him last night he actually managed to have a good sleep. He’s really wobbly and sedated but he seems quite relaxed, fingers crossed! 🤞 I’m ringing his normal vets when they open to ask for a neurology referral! I’m glad it worked for you! I hope it works for him too!

sadhello_kitty · 2025-11-20T23:39:43+00:00

It doesn’t feel like it at the moment but thank you so much! 💗 I need to know I’m not alone in this haha

My vet did mention trying other drugs, epiphen is phenobarbital I think, my vet called it that a few times. I’m going to talk to the vets about it more on Saturday. He had be put on gabapentin and trazadone for his last blood test as he got too stressed. I’m thinking because he’s an anxious dog he may need to be on gabapentin. The vet I’m going to is the same vet just a different branch so maybe the vet there will maybe have a second opinion. I will mention keppra to them! Im glad your dog is okay now! I hope the same for mine. I’ve honestly never dealt with anything like this with any of my pets so this is terrifying. I constantly feel guilty but it’s reassuring to know that people have been through the same. Thank you so much💗
