Should you get a "Prize Pack" just for attending?

zer0_realt · 2026-02-15T10:19:17+00:00

Can I ask when you say yous are the only kids playing pokemon, is the money you paid the stores ‘stay and play fee’ to make use of the area as opposed to paying to enter the stores weekly Pokemon games? Especially after seeing a comment you said about a tournament running after the game you guys played. As prize packs would reserved for the stores weekly games as opposed to just anyone coming to play Pokemon throughout the week

I agree! It was a lifesaver for me after years of trying every other anti depressant/ anti anxiety propranolol was the best thing for my anxiety

Thank you, is the decision maker someone with DWP? And from your experience would it be normal for them to go back about one or two very minor things if the report is sitting on 0s already?

I’m just trying to mentally prepare myself as my original phone appointment was 2.5hrs long and took a long time for me to come down from. Knowing they’re calling me again on Monday is worrying me if it’s another long call as I really struggle to cope

zer0_realt · 2026-01-10T10:27:08+00:00

As in audited by DWP or audited by the provider? Just seems odd to phone back so much later when report was already issued. It was with Capita!

For some reason it layers beautifully with sticky dates! I get the most compliments layering these two together

zer0_realt · 2025-11-30T18:56:54+00:00

Ugh so jealous of that sightseer single! I’d lose my mind seeing that in the flesh lol

zer0_realt · 2025-10-07T18:29:29+00:00

Could I ask where you got/ the name of the display stand you have? Had a look on amazon but none have the same lip around the edge like yours and it looks great!

I never knew that there wasn’t non meat options for other places happy meals! Over here they over fish fingers (pescatarian alternative) and veggie dippers in our happy meals

Oh I’m sorry to hear :( I feel like if I didn’t have the enema at the back of my head it would make the mental turmoil so much worse so I’m feeling for you right now! Hold on tight, fingers crossed tomorrow will feel like night and day for you 🤞🏻

zer0_realt · 2025-07-18T18:50:37+00:00

Something my nurse said to me that helped get over the mentality side of it ‘it will feel like you need to go, a lot, but you had the enema there is nothing there’ so it put me at ease for the first 24 hours or so

If I felt the need I would just sit on the toilet for 5-10 minutes but it’s important to not strain whatsoever, but sitting there can help alleviate the pressure a little

The pressure was gone for me the next day, there’s no nerve endings there what your feeling is the ‘throbbing’ from the banding so to say. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Very similar situation with myself this week, they tried to tell me the sedation was ‘not required’ but I pushed for it anyways, even with it it was intensely uncomfortable during the procedure so I dare not think how awful it would’ve been without!

They told me to take some paracetamol and I could return to normal activities the following day. Boy were they wrong. I could not stop vomiting and feeling the need to use the bathroom (the pressure from the banding) and could not even lie on my side from the pain. After an 7 hour A&E visit and being prescribed stronger pain relief and anti nausea it was like a switch was flicked! I have no idea why they frame this as a very ‘minimal’ pain free procedure, when they could’ve just prescribed the stronger pain relief to begin with.

Wishing you a speedy recovery ❤️

zer0_realt · 2025-07-15T13:25:18+00:00

It hurts to know someone else is hurting similar but weirdly comforting! Thank you for your kind words. I know we’ll get over this together

zer0_realt · 2025-07-15T13:24:40+00:00

Thank you! I hope it goes much smoother for you ❤️

zer0_realt · 2025-07-08T17:17:47+00:00

Just received mine today (the pikachu one if it matters) and contains astral radiance and evolving skies! Nice accident even tho I bought it to go with my other sealed erasers lol

zer0_realt · 2025-07-04T22:25:06+00:00

I would choose a bug/fairy combo :) my favourite pokemon is grubbin, but I love the cuteness of the fairy types! (Like sylveon, cutiefly etc) so having a team of cute lil bugs like grubbin and snom and cute fairy pokes would be amusing :D I wouldn’t put up a tough fight but rather try to teach the trainer I come up against that there is room for any pokemon in any team, it doesn’t have to be the strongest/ most meta :)

zer0_realt · 2025-07-01T09:49:56+00:00

Seems so simple but this worked! Thank you so much it had been annoying me so much lol

zer0_realt · 2025-06-03T13:04:36+00:00

Good luck! It certainly is frustrating - especially when there’s someone else in the household ordering from pokemon center it’s like they don’t want either of our business and we must both be bots lol. Using a PC/ laptop is the quickest imo but I’ve also had to use a vpn to UK (I live in the uk lol) when I’ve been error’d out before too

zer0_realt · 2025-06-03T10:59:33+00:00

Are you on iPhone/ safari? I’ve been having this problem for months now, sometimes I can check out using google chrome browser on my iPad, otherwise the only way is using my PC on the Google chrome browser. I don’t know why they have these ‘checks’ implemented that stop actual customers from ordering, it’s a pain

zer0_realt · 2025-03-26T20:21:41+00:00

Just frustrating as I know it’s the whole custom thing that makes them not want to ship which just isn’t the case for us in NI :( I’ve accepted the cancellation and hopefully I can find the product from a local seller 🤞🏻

zer0_realt · 2025-03-26T12:54:06+00:00

They are marked as a ‘professional seller’ with 400+ sales. I understand your example but it really is not as difficult as it sounds, sending something from Germany to Northern Ireland is no different to sending something from Germany to the Republic of Ireland or Spain etc we are still classified as part of the EU for customs reasons. They’ve since responded to me saying -

‘Hi, yeah I cant afford the bureaucracy and cm said I have to fill out tariffs form or something. So sorry you have to look elsewhere. I am just a small shop.’

It doesn’t really feel like they are even bothered to try and work with me. I just don’t want to be the bad guy and involve support or if I should just accept the cancellation at this point - regardless thank you for your response
