[UK] Filed workers comp after a job injury and now HR is acting like I don't exist

Got hurt at work a few months ago. I slipped on something that had no business being on the floor and my back has been a real problem since. Filed workers comp right away which felt like the obvious thing to do, but my HR rep has been noticeably cold since the claim went in. Now there's restructuring talk in my department and I genuinely cannot tell if the timing is a coincidence. Workers comp has been covering treatment but the payout barely touches my actual lost wages from injury and does nothing for how much my daily life has changed.

Someone mentioned recently that depending on how the accident happened there might be a separate claim possible beyond workers comp. Has anyone dealt with a work injury situation where both tracks ran at the same time, and is talking to a personal injury attorney even worth it once workers comp is already in progress?

Best hybrid mattress for a proper bedroom upgrade? Need suggestions

My partner and I repainted our room and replaced a bunch of old furniture. Our old mattress is kinda ruining the vibe because even with the sheets on, the dip in the middle is pretty obvious. So my partner and I agreed to upgrade our mattress as well. I’m looking for hybrid ones since they say it sleeps bit more cooler than an all foam one. We only have a portable AC which doesn’t really do much especially in summer so we’d like to have a mattress that doesn’t contribute more to sleeping hot. Do you have some good suggestions? I like the Leesa Sapira Chill Hybrid but it’s not 100% fixed on it yet. I’m still exploring and open to any other brands etc.

Are Irish tweed caps underrated in heritage style?

I’ve been getting more interested in heritage-style clothing lately, especially pieces that feel rooted in craftsmanship rather than trends. Irish tweed caps caught my attention because they seem like the kind of accessory that can add character to a simple outfit without being loud. I like the idea of wearing one with denim, boots, a plain jacket, or heavier knitwear, but I’m also aware that flat caps can look a bit costume like if they’re styled badly. The line between classic and old-fashioned feels pretty thin with some traditional accessories.

Best queen mattress for a new place? Old one didn't survive the move

Just moved into a new place and my old mattress didn’t make it lol. I’m starting from scratch and trying to figure out what mattress to get without overthinking it too much.

I need suggestions for a queen mattress that’s comfortable and fingercrossed can last for more than 5yrs. I sleep on my side so I don’t want it to give me shoulder and hip pain. I’m currently checking out the Helix Midnight Luxe but I still want to explore a few others so I can compare which one would work best for me and my budget. Suggestions please?

Best mattress for heavy people who are also tall? Double challenge

I’m 6’5” and around 260 lbs and I’ve been struggling to find a mattress that can support me properly. It feels like if it’s good for heavy people it doesn’t consider height and if it’s good for tall people it feels like its for lighter weight people.

Right now my mattress is sagging in the middle and it’s affecting my sleep a lot. I’m not sure if it’s the material, the support, or just that it can’t handle my size. I was told I should check the Titan Plus Luxe because it’s supposed to be made for heavier sleepers. But for someone my height, is it going to be enough? Anyone here has a similar build and has tried it?

Anyone else tried Lasora maternity leggings?

I ended up trying Lasora leggings recently after struggling with a bunch of maternity pairs that either rolled down or got uncomfortable halfway through the day So far they’ve actually been pretty good for everyday wear and errands, especially comfort-wise, but I’m curious what other people think long term.

Feels like most challenge models push traders into overtrading just to hit targets fast.

Starting to think instant funding makes way more sense for crypto trading. Curious what firms people had good experience with.

Even with strong internal security controls, credential reuse and external data exposure still seem to be common entry points for unauthorized access.

It feels like the challenge isn’t just prevention, but also identifying exposure early enough to act on it.

Additionally, I came across Breach by OffSeq, which monitors exposed credentials and alerts when new exposures are detected. Still exploring it, curious if anyone here has experience with it or similar platforms?

Or what approaches or systems are most effective for reducing credential-based access risks in practice?

visited a clothing store to buy an embroidered ethnic cap two days ago. I wanted something that fits with modern outfits. I wanted something that looks stylish and simple. I wanted something I can wear casually. But when I checked the caps there I felt disappointed. Some designs were too traditional. Some colors were hard to match. Some looked good but not with modern clothes. I could not trust them. I could not decide confidently.

Then I visited another shop in the same area. Some caps had better colors and simple embroidery. Some looked easy to style with jeans and shirts. Some still felt too heavy in design. I remembered a time when I wore a cap that looked nice alone but did not match my outfit at all. That made me hesitate even more.

To check more variety and options while scrolling many online marketplaces including alibaba I saw many embroidered ethnic caps. Some had minimal designs. Some had soft colors and clean patterns. Some showed modern outfit ideas. Prices were also very different. Some were cheap but basic. Some were expensive with better style. This made me excited but also confused again.

Now I am thinking about what is better for me. Local shops let me try with outfits but options are limited. Online has more styles but I cannot test the look. I just want a cap that blends tradition with modern style. What would you do in my place?
