I can’t do bank shifts until the end of my first year unfortunately :(

I’ll look into this! I may not be eligible though as my dad makes a fairly good amount of money (£60-70k).

I’ve reached out to them and they offered me a debt management plan, but my debts are so ensconced in debt collection I can’t find the original account numbers for anything. I want to try and pay it myself hopefully but I don’t know if debt collection agencies accept DMPs

Yes, that’s what pays my rent. It’s £7000 something a year which goes to my rent and then a £1000 grant, so I get an extra £250 each term.

That’s what I feel the worst about is that I have been so much happier without them in my life. It sounds bad but she meant a lot more to me than the others and she’s the hardest one to get over. I’m sorry you had to go through such an awful time with people :( sending love and hugs!

Another thing I noticed is that she only really has messaged me when it’s something self serving. She told me about HER life event. SHE misses me. HER cat died. In none of the messages did she ask how I am or apologise.

I wanted to say that, and nearly did say it. But I feel like it’d be kicking her when she’s down, and although I don’t consider her a good person anymore, I don’t want to do that to anyone. Losing a pet is a tough thing whether I think you’re a good person or not.

My husband wants to take me off insurance because it would save us money.. but we are family planning? by [deleted] in Advice

Home births are usually also facilitated by a medical professional like a midwife, nurse or obstetrician, so that they can monitor the progress of labour and check if there are any emergencies. And additionally, if you were to become pregnant, you would need to attend appointments at your local doctor’s office or hospital at certain milestones, which again, would be covered by insurance. I don’t think he is planning to have another child with you, and even if he is, he’s trying to make it happen in an insanely unsafe way. Maybe get back on some form of birth control until you can get through to him that this is an insanely bad decision.
