What am I missing with my oyster?

What am I missing with my oyster?

By all means I’m not complaining, just want to understand.

I work 3 days a week and this is reimbursed. So I top up my blue oyster weekly for £10.50. I started with no money on there and only got the oyster for work reimbursement.

I’ve never really checked the balance and I always keep track of when it needs topping up. But I checked it today as I had lost track as my shift kept changing at work. I was quite certain I’d used those 3 days for the last week tho so was sure it would be almost empty.

But it has £9.45 on and the journey history is a little more weird. I can’t scroll to the journeys past what’s on this page but just here I’ve noticed it’s a little weird. I started out with at least £14.70 which shouldn’t happen and also I was not charged at all on Sunday for my journey at 14:20 even though that was my first journey within that hour. I’m aware of the unlimited travel within the hour but this doesn’t fit.

Is there an explanation for this or am I bugging out?

Outlook says storage is full so can’t send emails, but I’m still receiving them?

Been happening for about 2 weeks now. Can’t send any emails, but I’m still receiving them.

I’ve deleted all in my junk and bin. What can I do?

Any way to make jeans bigger around the thighs?

I’m used to tailoring the bottom of all my jeans to make them shorter, but I’m wondering if there’s a way to make them slightly bigger on the thighs? They’re plain black jeans. I love them, but they’re getting quite tight on that one area. Is it possible? And if so, how?

I don’t mind them looking a bit scruffy tbh

Also I don’t have a sewing machine - I do all sewing via hand.

Is the bleach stain on this top repairable?

This is a £60 top from an official BTS pop-up store in the London O2 from a few years back. Whilst I’m no longer a fan, I do absolutely love the design on the back of the top but was a bit stupid in deciding to wear it whilst using bleach. The bleach stains are quite extensive too.

Im wondering if there is a permanent fix or not? If it’s for personal use, I don’t mind slightly changed textures or the sort. I’m not really experienced in this so any help is appreciated!

Info:
- care label has deteriorated but I believe (from research) it’s 100% cotton
- has a printed graphic design on front (pic) and bigger one on back

Student bank account options for a second year

I’m going into my second year of uni and wondering what the best accounts I can get?

I’ve done a bit of research and seems like the only banks that do student accounts with benefits starting for 2nd (and up) years are NatWest and Santander. I don’t use overdrafts so that doesn’t matter to me. I’ve looked into Santander and would really benefit from the 4 year free railcard. But it says that you need to have 2 years of uni left to start a Santander student account.

Does this mean that I qualify if I’m on a 3 year course and I haven’t yet started my 2nd year? Or does it mean it should be 2 years after your current/the one you’re going into?

Why is this bug not fixed yet…

2 homestead retainers can’t be recruited - for one, map icon doesn’t exist. For the other, he isn’t there at any time of the day.

I just tried to test to see if I can recruit in coop but I can’t - when I click on homestead, it says I can’t open that menu in coop.

Has anyone been able to work around this at all?

I want to expand my food variety but I don’t know where to start

Disclaimer: I don’t know if I have ARFID - it has been suggested by family, and when typing out this post in another sub, this sub was recommended. If I can’t post this here, please feel free to take it down!

I’ll admit that I’ve never been great at fitness or healthy eating.

My Eating
I have ASD so I suppose that kind of contributes to my pickiness. I really do try to expand what I eat.

My current eating habits:
No breakfast.
Lunch - typically a few cooked sausage rolls, mostly skipping lunch, sometimes a cheese/ham sandwich or a DIY pizza using a tortilla wrap as the base
Dinner - my usual dinners consist of processed breaded chicken products (like nuggets) with frozen potato products and occasionally baked beans; otherwise it will usually be super noodles. Occasionally, I do bigger dinners such as spaghetti and meatballs, jacket potato, sausage and mash, etc.

I know I eat super unhealthily. And I also snack too much during the day and evening too which I’m working on but my main issue is that I’m so limited in my main meals and I know they are super unhealthy. I just don’t know what else I can try baring in mind my ASD.

My absolute no-gos:
- I can’t eat pure meat - I can just about tolerate gammon at Christmas. But can’t tolerate chicken, beef etc unless breaded or as a sausage.
- can’t do spice
- not a fan of fish
- not a fan of curry

Fitness
I’ve very unfit. I don’t really exercise much. The most I do is taking the dog for a walk or walking to work where I’m standing and walking for another 4 hours.

My Worry
I’ve never had a problem with my weight or my size as I’ve always been quite slim. But I’m getting quite self conscious about my eating habits, my health, and more recently a slight difference in my size. I want to improve this as much as I can. I do have a level of social anxiety which might contribute and I’ve always considered the gym but have been put off by the idea of others being present. I really want to start eating better and doing better generally. Not only am I worried about my health, but I’ve noticed that my waist has gotten bigger so my trousers are quite tight when I sit down, and most of my baggy jeans are now too tight around my quite large thighs.

This might sound stupid and God I know I sound lazy. I’m genuinely looking to improve, I just don’t know where to start. Whenever I look up healthy meal ideas, they seem like extravagant meals even when I search up ‘simple’.

I’m just looking for some advice really, if possible?

Dog’s constant barking

Please see this post for more details:

https://www.reddit.com/r/DogAdvice/s/0HshfJroWf

SUMMARY: Dog has been barking constantly over the last few weeks. She’s mostly fine, it’s just off days. I started to notice a pattern that it will occur when my mum leaves the house, going on for hours until she returns, or when visitors are over (but even when the visitor leaves she continues for hours). She’s on painkillers, has arthritis, liver and kidney issues, and is almost 14 Jack Russel + patterdale. I believe part of it may be she gets confused or her partial blindness and deafness makes it hard to discern whether people are or aren’t here. She barks at the front door, almost at a wall sometimes, or she’ll lay down on the floor (she never usually does this unless begging for food) and barks at the air.

My mum left for a holiday early hours Monday morning. On Monday, she barked non-stop for 8 hours straight. Before, a walk around 10pm worked to tire her out. This time, I walked her around 8pm or so. She came back and started barking again. So I took her on another walk around 11pm and finally that wore her out and she went asleep.

She’s been fine today but just started barking again. I’m waiting for a call back from my vet’s behaviour specialists but I’ve just noticed that sometimes she looks straight at me while barking and I don’t know what’s going on for her when she does that. When she looks at the front door to bark, I can presume it’s associated with confusion, longjng for mum, etc. but when looking straight at me, I have no idea what’s going on.

Any idea what might be behind this part of the barking so I can tailor my behaviour better?

How to fix the wheel to my suitcase

Mum is going on holiday on Monday to Scotland so I need to order a replacement wheel today.

However, I can’t seem to find the correct wheel nor can I figure out how to get this one off. FYI: I’ve seen the videos saying there’s a zip on the inner lining and there isn’t for this suitcase.

Any idea how I can find the correct wheel with a rubber tread and how to get this one off more importantly?

Thanks

Am I wrong for this? It’s £1…

Whilst I understand the increase in price, I don’t have control over that. I have no control over postage costs etc.

So why would you ask for the cars free? If the package does indeed increase in size, then it could be deemed too big for what was paid and then u wouldn’t get it anyway.

Am I going crazy or smth?

Electrics are out but dad built the extension without permission

We’re in a council house under Clarion Housing. We’ve had the house for 20 years. But a while after my parents moved in, my dad - who left my mum 2-3 years ago and moved out - built a whole extension with a new bathroom and lots of sockets. He’s a qualified builder, not an electrician. He didn’t seek planning permission and my mum couldn’t say anything because my dad had already started. He has a history of building things without permission, including installing a big king size bed and building a massive unit in our tiny living room, which at the time all the kids were using during much of the day but no longer could due to this. My mum didn’t know he even planned this until she came home one day and saw him building.

Our electrics have been tripping for 3 weeks and we’ve just been able to get someone round, who hasn’t been the most helpful but has said that he believes the problem to be in the extension that my dad built - either the pumps or the wiring. He said the whole extension would need re-wiring. They can already tell the extension isn’t built by them but haven’t imposed liability yet.

Whilst I know my mum should have said something, my dad has shown signs of being financially and emotionally abusive toward my mum during their marriage, including dropping my mum in 11 grand worth of debt because of his loans he put in her name or jointly etc.

We’re worried Clarion won’t touch the electrics and will refuse to do work - and will also hold mum liable - because the extension is built without permission. I’m wondering what we can do in this case? I know my mum should have spoke sooner but she’s barely able to pay rent with my help so won’t be able to afford any fines or private work.

What can we do? What do we say?

CHARITY SHOP FIND (Also help please!)

I’ve just made an absolute bargain with these 3 books from MDZS!!! I volunteer in this charity shop and someone was donating a bunch of books and I immediately saw this and asked my manager if I could buy them! (They had the full set but I already had 1st and 2nd books)

They’re in mint condition, a few post it notes which easily come off, but no stains, scratches, stains, rips, writing, highlighting, nothing!! I’m in love with this find!!

The only thing is, I was a bit shy to say don’t put the price sticker on the cover - it came off fine on 2 of them, but book 3 didn’t go so well as they stuck it on the glossy part, therefore peeling away some of the glossy film (u can see it on pic 2). I’m guessing there’s no way to fix that is there? :(

Bought for: £5.16 with staff discount
Waterstones price: ~£45 for all 3
