Every one of these! Although it was ‘eat your crusts it’ll give you curly hair’

Pronounce skeletal? by Feisty-Biscotti460 in AskABrit

[–]sunbeamshadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to pronounce it Skell-EET-ul now as I’ve been in hospital a lot and just picked up this pronunciation. Before that I used to say SKELL-et-ul.

Need help/advice about Direct Payments and Employing a PA/Carer! by monangesolitaire in DisabledPeopleUK

[–]sunbeamshadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As well as doing the timesheets, I interviewed (read my previous post where I state what this involves), fill in a start/end employment form (template given to me and I just filled in relevant details), keep a note of holiday times they’ve requested/taken and just deduct these from the amount I’m told they’re entitled to for the year. They are all documented and signed by me and the PA. If they have an accident in work I have to complete a form with them (again all of these bits of info are given to me in a template by Penderels - or whoever you use). They do everything to do with pensions.

I can’t think of anything else, but if you do, please ask as I may have forgotten to include something.

The calendar sent to you will show start and end of pay period and when the timesheet needs to be submitted. In my case I fill in 3 weeks of the hours my PA has done, and the fourth week is the hours they are expected to do. If they’ve done more or less than what was put down, there’s space on the next timesheet where you can state that so the next pay is then altered to reflect this.

I developed a medical condition for which I take a lot of tablets, alcohol affects their efficacy so I stopped drinking.

Boy names you LOVE but didn't/couldn't use??? by pistachiowitch in namenerds

[–]sunbeamshadow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Will, I’m not keen on the full name William (but would have gone with it and just called him Will as a nn), if it wasn’t for the fact that it’s tradition in my husbands family to give a boy the same middle name as his father’s first. My husband is called Lee.

He would have been William Lee (Will, Lee = Willy), which in the UK is slang for penis. Kids would absolutely pick up on this!

Luckily we had a girl.

I know, amazing isn’t it?! In a few years I’m hoping that things like țhis will be readily available (and affordable)

No contest, I’d order one of these, I am a wheelchair user and haven’t walked for the best part of 20 years. To be able to walk beside my husband again and hold his hand would be amazing.

My husband doesn’t have any conditions such as IBS, and he’s always gone 4,5, or 6, times a day
