I’ve been sent a VRBO booking and payment link. The agent has one name (though I can’t find a physical address for the agent) but the bank account wants Euros transfer into a different name UK bank account.

Cancellation can be done until end November, but the payment choices are either to a bank transfer directly, or using Xoom and a credit card (but with PayPal terms and conditions) to the same bank account.

I am UK based.

I have never used VRBO before but this seems really dodgy and if the booking gets cancelled by the owner or I wanted to use the cance option myself, I guess there is no way to get the money back despite using a credit card, because it is PayPal bank transfer?

Or am I jumping at imaginary red flags?

Hi folks, what cash back cards would you recommend?

Preference for ease of use, easy to pay back amount owed in full at end of each month, clear rules and no faff.

Is there any way to do an M&S food shop without going to Union Square and paying the parking charge?

Yes, I appreciate the irony of going to an expensive food hall and not wanting to pay parking, but I just wanted to get a few ready meals of decent quality into the fridge and freezer when I have a few upcoming days I won’t be able to cook from scratch (surgery).

the last few days, it looks like someone has been accessing my app account overnight as I’m getting locked out and need to login again in the morning, and this morning I couldn’t on my first attempt as apparently there had already been too many attempts?

data breach or just a bad app?

Hi ladies

Did any of you have to change your HRT, especially upping progesterone?

Im on 200mg utrogestan (and estrogel) but started spotting today

How to know when to move up to the next level of dosing?

Im not in a rush. I’ve done two jabs of 0.25, about to do 3rd on Monday.

I lost a little bit of weight (0.5kg-1.0kg) each of the two weeks, but less this second week.

Are there any disadvantages in staying on 0.25 for a second month? Rather than moving on to the next scheduled rise.

hi folks. I in my first month with bolt. if. I want to stay at the same dosage for my second month,how far in advance do I need to tell bolt, and how do i do that?

thanks

Started with first jab 0.25 this Monday morning. So today is day 4. Weigh in shows I’ve already lost 1.6kg which seems a lot for how fast.

What is really perplexing is that I’m eating the same meals as I did when weight was creeping up: breakfast (fibre shake, milk, collagen, creatine), lunch (omelette with cottage cheese, avocado toast, variations) and supper (chicken breast, green vegetables, small amount of rice and quinoa) with a small chocolate pudding afterwards.

The only thing I have stopped is day time snacking, so this is a good long term learning.

Im assuming my weight loss is initial water weight? Some reading suggests “inflammation” reduction but what is causing weight loss there? More water?

Basically whilst I’m very happy and slightly shocked that I’m already responding, I’m a little worried that this weight loss will continue too far.

Any reassurance out there?

Day 1 & 2 were great. Minimal symptoms, much reduced food noise, some weight loss already which I’m surprised about as it’s only the 0.25mg injection.

Day 3, I’m tired. I felt very dizzy, and head ache so I had a snooze. I just now scarfed two mini magnums as I felt cold sweaty like low blood sugar.

Im eating well / healthily. Fibre shake with semi skimmed milk and added collagen for protein and creatine for muscle protection, and to keep me regular as I read that constipation can be an issue. Healthy home cooked meals for lunch and supper, protein and fibre forward.

Is what I’m experiencing normal?

I am in no way affiliated with this brand. but I love the “purition“ shakes.

Ever since I had my gallbladder removed I’ve piled on weight and had very loose bowels. Bright yellow, urgency, watery etc iykyk

Anyway, both before injections and on day 2 of injections, I’ve been having a purition shake for breakfast.

They have a lot of fibre, but not much protein, so I make the shake with lactose free semi skimmed cow milk, a spoonful of additional powdered collagen, and a teaspoon of creatine powder.

My no2s would make the poo chart proud 😂 and I’m only going once per day.

Of course, I’m fully aware that this may make me karma humble in some way, but for the time being I am happy.

And so, if you’re experiencing very loose bowels, do consider giving this a try.

was scared for a week.

the injection was fine this morning.

slight soreness at the site for an hour

nothing symptoms wise. still thinking about food. trying to prioritise protein and fibre and water

12 hours later, I’ve just realised I haven’t done any snacking today. I had breakfast lunch and dinner, sensible sizes, and a mini magnum pudding and I’m done. I’ve drunk loads of cordial today as well, more than I normally do. Don’t feel the need for a glass of wine.

had a terrible sleep last night. Over hot and awake from 1-4

Hi my lovelies.

Ive ordered via Bolt, been approved, and m now waiting for first dose to arrive in post. Chose to go injection rather than pills, as I know I won’t have the stamina to wait half a hour for my morning coffee 😂

How can I prepare to have the best experience?

Do I inject morning or night?

before after food?

which day of week? I’d like to minimise symptoms at the weekend and am home during the week.

any special diet the day or night before?

thinking of injecting into upper thigh, as my belly is so sensitive naturally anyway that injecting there seems scary. is it ok to do that?

anything else you wish you had done before starting?

sorry for all the questions 🤭 and thank you❤️

I’m in the overweight with medical issues category, and looking to start. Bolt and MedExpress both appear to do off licence prescribing.

Please share your experience with ordering, receiving, going up or down dosages and anything else I should be aware of.

Thank you.

UPDATE ok, I’ve pulled the trigger and sent off all the information needed for Bolt. We will see!

so my 2023 tax return as a non resident tax payer, box 3 only, was on the fictions income of a flat that I was selling in 2023 that i owned but didn’t live in, which is why I sold it.

i have received an offer to fill in the OWR. I was tempted because my income that year was zero rather than the fictions amount.

however, if I understand correctly I would have to include any increase in value of the flat which would be more than my fiction value.

do iunderstand that correctly?

and if I do, then is it ok to not fill in the OWR and just keep the fiction value?

Hi there. currently thinking about getting started.

for Uk users, can you advise me please, on which providers you would or would not recommend?

in particular ease of contacting them regarding dosage scheduling. I don’t like the idea of rushing up and up and would rather start slow and steady.

I got a UV light. IYKYK

Now I see snot and spray everywhere - old invisible to the eye stuff.

Enzyme spray is not removing it. What can I do?!

Hi. Ibought a snoreze MAD. however, on reading fitting instructions, I see it says not to use if you have four or more teeth removed.

like many of us I had my 4 pre molars removed decades ago when a teenager for my teeth corrections. (god, why did they do this?)

but I also had my wisdom teeth removed.

i suspect this is a huge part of my snoring issue, but what can i do going forward? and how could I get a Mad that works?

no pictures as I’ve yet to see one I like - which probably makes it harder lol

I would like to find a pattern for a coat. Trench coat style, in the front, but single breasted.

Large collar

Definition at waist

Flare out, long length skirt

Any ideas please?

EDIT I think I prefer buttons rather than a zip though

Hi, the last few days I’ve been wearing a TRD at night, though within a couple of hours, I’ve taken it out. Howver it’s really reduced my snoring even for the rest of the night not wearing.

but last night and again tonight, I am trying it and it seems to be pulling my tongue further out than before, to the point that it feels sore athe base of my tongue where it didn’t before but does now iykwim?

how can I stop the device from pulling so far forward now?
