Products that are 3 times the price over the US

For example the 1/35 800mm Gun “Dora” on Amazon US is $250 (roughly £180), the UK it's an eye watering £600.

Yes it does weigh 25KG, and over 1 metre long.

Trying to get a non urgent appointment with my doctor..impossible. Now I'm being urged to use the emergency triage system..for something that is not an immediate emergency.Problem is my doctor is the only female in the practice..and of course that's why I want to see her. it's no wonder A&E are overwhelmed.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yes I have experienced that when trying to get a appointment for a something that is not urgent and to makes things even more frustrating when you phone no matter what time, even when it's the time the receptionist has suggested example 8am or 1pm only to be told the first available appointment is 3-4 weeks down the line which usually is no good at all or worse sorry there is no appointments. What I also find is trying to get a appointed with your preferred GP is near impossible.

Saying that when I'm needed to be seen in regards to my illness I can't complain at all as they always see me when needed but a non urgent appointment forget it.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Noticed ours and a neighbours car was scratched across two doors as we were going out yesterday, then at three o clock when the schools were coming out a neighbour caught a school boy doing the same at the other side of the cars, Lucky enough we found out where he lived and we went to there door, He was a coloured boy but the foster parents were white, of course he said " it wasn't me, " and when we said he was seen doing it, he made all excuses , it was an accident etc, His foster mother was almost in tears , and admitted she had problems with him. The outcome is her husband came to see the cars when he came home from work and he is getting quotes today and he will pay the bill. He was so very sorry and could not apologise enough, Thank the Lord he was caught the second time,

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

While I do feel for all concerned I cannot help feeling more sorry for the boy and the reasons as to why he did such a act.

Is it peer pressure to fit in, a cry for help, frustration and the feeling of not belonging, what has he seen in his short life, what horrors has he witnessed either in family life or the current care system he now finds himself in etc my list is endless.

I can think of nothing worse than a child in the system when the majority of his peers more than likely come from a loving home.

I can't imagine the uncertainly this poor child feels or what he has gone through in his short life, I assume it would be hard enough for a adult to imagine wondering where they may be living this time next year never mind a child.

I'm not making excuses for him but I hope and pray whatever social/case worker is assigned to him gets him the counselling and help he so obviously needs before he becomes another statistic within the prison, I really hope the relevant people assigned to this boy seeks this help and hopefully with a understanding ear he will turn out alright.

The foster parent will more than likely not be out of pocket as they will likely put in a claim for the damage this boy did to the cars and to that they would need to inform his social/care worker I would assume.

dilli there is no right or wrong way in how one copes with the loss of a loved one happy pills or not. The only thing I can say is just take it one day at a time and try and not dwell on I should be feeling this way or that way as your coping in your own way and that's ok please remember that, just take it one day at a time :hugs:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Well while I was away on holiday for three weeks 2 pipes burst at home.
They then spewed water out for best part of 2 weeks.
The result was ceilings in four rooms collapsed in and the whole ground floor was flooded. Ive just had a call to say that the artexed ceilings contain asbestos and as such everything in those rooms has to be removed and destroyed.
Thatll be the kitchen, dining room, bathroom and lounge at least.
All personal possessions, pictures ornaments etc to be skipped....
It was only September when we finally completed refurbishment of every room in the house. :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Mum sadly has had a fall this morning coming down the stairs as her leg just gave way so Dad phoned for a ambulance at 9.30 and it has still not arrived stating they have not got one available currently so they have with great difficulty got Mum into the car and are going to the hospital themselves.:(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

That's disgusting. I hope she makes a full recovery den. And you need to question why they have/had no ambulances available.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hope it's nothing to serious den although I do think it is shocking about the ambulance but sadly with all the cutbacks I'm not surprised.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

They got her to the hospital eventually and thankfully she has been triaged to the front of the queue and she is going to be taken to the main hospital which serves the city of Portsmouth by ambulance when they have one free..

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

She was brought home late yesterday evening weenie and thankfully there are no broken bones but she has a increasing deterioration of the back and has been referred to the orthopaedic consultant and according to what they told her they think she might have spondylolisthesis.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Glad your Mum is home den.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thanks weenie as we are all glad she is back home but there will be quite a few changes to make life easier for her in the future.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Damn eyesight!!


Just gets worse but am told that its still not bad enough that I would be able to register partially sight/vision Impaired.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I remember when I had to make adaptions to my Mum's house and she was totally petrified of losing her independence but once it was explained this was being done so she could keep her independence she soon accepted it, in fact the stair lift was the best thing we bought but unfortunately my Dad and sister sold this when my Mum passed away and I personally think this was a huge error on there part as it would have helped my Father when the time comes as he is 81 years old.

Remember some social work departments can arrange stair lifts free of charge so it may be worth while contacting your local department to see if they offer this service sadly I did not know of this service until after we purchased the stair lift as many local council don't advertise this service :(


Take care den :hugs:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Trying to find a reasonably priced parking space to hire in Edinburgh 8am- 5pm which so far has been a total nightmare. I'm actually thinking of suggesting car sharing to him.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

So glad your Mum is home Den, what a wait for this and that, Just received recent post as the Forum was a bit wonky for me I kept getting old posts,
Hope she continues to improve , :)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I know from trying to visit Edinburgh a few years ago and my subsequent email conversation with the tourist board that they operate a "Hate the Motorist" policy. However that might mean there's a reasonably priced park and ride scheme?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Managed to get a actual price and what he will be doing is buying a standard season ticket with the cost of £283.10.

His father and I are actually sitting back atm biting our tongue as we know he is excited at going for his 1st interview and being offered the job but we think he should also be still applying for jobs closer to home within a similar pay scale example if he were to get a job in Glasgow he would only be £80.00 monthly for his traveling but anytime we try and tell him these options he just keeps saying no I want this job.

Being a parent is so hard at times especially when you can see through your own experience the pit falls but all you can do is sit back and pray it works out for your kids and they learn from being so head strong :( on the plus side where my son will be working he will get the opportunity in going up the career ladder as he really could not have been offered a job in a better area, so I suppose like all aspects in life there are always going to be pro's and con's you just need to hope that the cons are worth it in the end.

I think being a parent worrying is just part of the job no matter what age they are!

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My Niece girlfriend is in her 3rd week of 5 training for cabin crew, today she was in Manchester doing the cabin fire simulator as well as slide and ditching training.

While training she stating at my sisters, and when has money she'll need to get a room or house with other colleges (my sister doesn't want them living togther at this stage in there relationship).

I take her to and from her training as its just around the corner from me.

The other options would be the train but would cost £16 a day, the bus would cost £4 a day but take 1-1/2 hours.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

When you have jobs changed on you last minute, with a totally bogus reason. Someone pulled out. Yeah right, when they forget we can access our crew lists for jobs. So I have been swapped for someone.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

:( not nice getting mucked about Mark no matter where that is.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I missed the important bit, she was told before she started training would be paid, but last week she was told it would be for 4 days NOT 15 days.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

As you know my son got a new job and starts it at the end of this month and I'm starting to think he regrets taking it due to the traveling £284.10 per month, we did try and tell him that he would be just under £3.500 in traveling expenses at the time of accepting and let's just say we were shot down.

Is it normal to still keep applying for other jobs, will this not look bad should a job offer arise and he say's I have been working here for less than 3 months for example or do all Uni students do this. My son say's that most employers will understand his reason in looking for another job once he explains the daily commute & costs, whereas to me it looks bad to look for jobs when your have only just recently accepted one.

I'm just worried as this was is dream job and yet he is still applying for other jobs it really does not make sense to the likes of me, especially when he knew the costs of traveling.

I'm now worried that his Dad and I may have put him this job by making him aware of his expenses I really do wish we had kept our mouths shut now.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

@ weenie. I think you have to take a step back. It's true that employers are more used to employees moving between jobs these days but if they are investing in an employee I can't believe they will look kindly on an employee who leaves before any investment in him has paid a dividend. Future employers may well be a tad shy of offering employment which could end up with them being out of pocket in the same way.

On the other hand he may just be offered a job before he starts this current job in which case there is nothing to lose in seeing what other jobs may be on offer.

Your son now knows the travel costs, it has to be his decision what course he decides to take. All you and D have done is try to give him a look at the hard facts. It's all we as parents can do and the rest, though painful to watch, is up to our children.

<<hugs>> from someone who has been through the mill.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

@ Jo excellent advice and it is hard sitting back watching when we can so easily offer help/advise.

I'm just starting out on this journey and I will follow your advice by the letter that I promise.

When D spoke at work about this at his work the feedback was Oh you have one at home also who knows best, at the end of the day all you can do is sit back and be there when needed. Like i say its so blooming hard for both of us as his parent's.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Just to share the pain :D Not the first time I could have cheerfully throttled our son and certainly not the last time.

Pete was due to start work and had fudged the fact that although he could 'drive' he hadn't actually passed his test. John and I had been teaching him and did feel he was ready but we were furious he hadn't thought through what could result if his employer thought he had a full licence. With only days to spare he managed to get a last minute cancellation test and the night before the test, the Thursday before he was to to start work on the Monday he decided, against my better judgement, that he wanted to have a final test drive.

We got as far as half way off our drive when he managed to catch the passenger side door trim on our gate, The trim was almost ripped off the car and the paintwork badly scratched. At 9pm on a cold dark winter's night John, Pete and I tried to make the damage less obvious. 10am the next day Pete took his test and passed. YAY.

He started work and on the first day he was asked to deliver and install a computer to one of the Directors. As the normal driver was on leave he was asked if he minded going on his own, He had never driven on a motor way, never driven a van and after the darling boy phoned me to let me know he could be late getting home I have never been so scared. I put the stress of his starting his first full time job as the reason I went prematurely grey.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My first solo drive after passing my test was from my parents house near Birmingham back to my grandma near Harrow. At night. OK, I passed when I was 30 so a bit older but still interesting.

Anyhow it is usually easier to get a job if you are in one but I do see that quitting too quickly would not be helpful. I would reckon though that employers are wise to people leaving soon after joining for reasons like commute/travel/conditions so while they want to get new staff upto speed quickly there will be some sort of contingency.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yes Den and it ends up costing them more,

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I know that some of our local councils have given contracts to private sectors in the name of trying to save money from the yearly budget and sadly it is the public that suffer.

What most are finding is that many of these private contractors just don't seem up to the job whether that is because they have under budgeted or they just don't have the man power for the job is anyone's guess but sadly it is the public that suffer from the councils costly error in their wisdom to out source these services all in the name of savings!

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

We had a council guy come to fit a cellar door, he could not get round the back green as no one was in, so he took the latch of the back door finished his original job and put the latch back on and no one could get out or in, They promised to come back and fix it which they did not do. Lucky enough a handy neighbour fixed it, When I phoned the council to say we got it fixed ourselves, It was not even in their book.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

This sort of thing really does not surprise me nash.

When I deal with anything I find the best thing to do is leave a paper trail example emails and if that is not possible get the name of person and department and if possible a direct dial phone number in whom your dealing with.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

You have hit the nail on the head weenie, some are in court now try to prove the validity of their contracts that they interpret as being able to charge for services they aren't providing, we'd better hope they lose as some of these shysters have 25 year contracts to fleece the taxpayer.

Adverts promoting low sugar sweets.

Yet they fail to mention the artifical sweeteners that can be worse for your kids.

aspartame can be harmful,

Sorbitol can have a laxative effect, and any sweetener that ends in "tol"

Just read the comment on "Haribo Gold-Bears Original Flavor Gummi Candy, 5-Pound Bag. Packaging varies between Clear or Gold bag"

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sugar free polos also state not to a way too many otherwise they may have a laxative effect.

But like aspartame you need to consume rather a lot to get any problems.

Sometimes those options are better for people with health issues that are worsened with real sugar.

Not going into too many details here, but just to warn you that I might be disappearing suddenly from CF. I'm currently on the losing side of a battle with mental illness and it might lead to me being sectioned. I stress might.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Why would you post that online? Social media / forums have a lot to answer for. Not quite sure what you're expecting in replies, unless fishing for attention it just seems odd.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Not quite sure how you think this reply will help someone going through a serious mental health episode. Mark posting that message isn't strange to me as people going through stuff like he is often do/ say/ type things the rest of us think odd.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Fair enough. If he asked for help or advice then he would have got a different answer. I would have thought 'warning' a forum would be the last thing on anyone's mind unless for a specific reason. But that's just the way I see it . Like I said social media / forums have a lot to answer for.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Kinda glad he didn't ask for help or advice, forums are not the place for amateur psychiatry

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I doubt anyone here would offer anything like that. I'd like to think if warranted they'll point him in the right direction and to seek proper advice / help from his GP or whoever. Or if someone with a similar experience to offer their words of wisdom which can really help.

I do see there is a lot of pandering on this forum (and everywhere else for that matter) which just fuels people's needs. But people are becoming so gullible to it unfortunately.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

On the other hand, he may just be warning people he is going off line as some people do notice that so and so hasn't been on in a few days and ask questions, whether publicly or via PM.

That said, we do have people post details of their medical conditions that I would personally consider private. I've a friend on facebook (who is also a friend off line). She is having a few physical issues, despite only being in her early 40s, and posts details of all of them on facebook, to which they usually get the typical "U OK hun?" replies.

I've got some medical conditions (nothing too bad and nothing life threatening), and I've posted nothing about them on facebook, and only minimal details on here.
I agree, and where I see anyone offering or asking medical advice, I do advise them to seek professional help, but we would need hard and fast rules to try and stop it. Where do you draw the line? Someone asking for cold remedies? Someone asking for details of a serious condition? Hell, even advising someone to take Aspirin for a headache could kill them.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

First of let me congratulate you on speaking up about your mental health issues all too many hide their illness, I suspect because of social stigma and this needs to change.

To be able to talk about your experience on your mental health is something that you should feel proud about, never embarrassed or fearful of what others may think or say.

The way I see it if your suffer from any other medical condition and seek medical help people tend to wish you well, why should mental health be any different?

Why shouldn't someone who suffers from mental health not talk about it, after all were not ashamed when our bodies get sick, so why should we be ashamed when our minds aren’t in top form?

With any illness Mark recovery is a series of steps and the first step is forward :hugs:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I agree it's good to talk. But he didn't talk about his experience of mental health.

The trouble with mental health it is an illness that most sufferers (myself included) can't or won't talk about it, not because they don't want to either.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with what you say but I hope you don't see me being callous in my reply to him. Just taking it at face value and that I personally see it as being odd / usual. As you know full well that I'd help in anyway I can / could.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Not at all peanut I know you fairly well through the CF and the very useful help and advice that you have given me in regards to our own medical condition.

I have always found you both helpful and polite and my view has not changed.

In regards to Mark he has spoken of his own battle in the past so his post was not strange to myself and I hope and pray that his battle becomes less and less and his journey becomes easier with help that he is getting.

I class Mark like yourself helpful and polite to myself, please accept my apologies if you felt my post was directed at you it was not.

Royal mail have lost a parcel I was expecting despite it being a full tracked delivery.
They know they screwed up but don't know whats wrong except the tracking info makes no sense and the local depot refuses to look for it as the tracking info doesn't tell them where to look despite it being the last place we were sure it was at.



Waited three months for the contents of the package to be made and sent so even more frustrating. Item will cost three times more if I buy it again.


They had one job....

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I really hope that I'm wrong I truly do, but I just can't help the feeling that my son has not got the job he went for yesterday as a few things make me think this.

At the interview they never spoke about his past or current jobs/work, notice period plus they never mentioned a start date.

My son said the interview did last for 45 minutes with the usual competency based questions and they explained the post etc but as I have previously stated they never asked about his employment history, notice period nor starting date for the job.

So I'm thinking this is not a good sign as in my experience employers usually ask these questions or has things changed or am I reading too much into this?

Any feedback would be much appreciated thank you :)

One can only hope that I'm reading too much into these details and they never asked these questions as they were provided when when he applied for this job :shrug:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Maybe they don't need that kind of info till the 2nd interview...

Just spotted a 10in crack running down the centre of my windscreen behind the rear view mirror this is as well as another 10in crack running along the bottom, luckily not near the other.

The trouble is I have to wait 2 weeks for a repair and just pray the crack behind the mirror doesn't increase in size too much and the window doesn't fall out(if that is even possible).

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Even if the cracks get big the plastic laminate in the centre will hold it all together and it's probably one that is bonded to the aperture rather than just held by a rubber gasket as they used to be.
