Confused and struggling for advice. (Sunderland England)

So I’m a recent survivor of bladder cancer that unfortunately cost me the main function of my bladder my cancer specialist has given me the paperwork for universal credit and GP signed off, I’ve applied for Job seekers as my previous job role is no longer suitable due to commute and medical needs conflicting and will be out of work until I find a employer suitable.

Waiting for that to kick in but currently seeing job centre who have been less than helpful and my GP is pushing me to go back to work, I want to but not sure I’m physically capable yet, with the routine bathroom visits and mobility struggles.

My parents (who I have a strained relationship with) have suggested I try to just off benefits all time, but been told by advice that’s not possible or safe, and I’d honestly hate to do it, I’m considering volunteering again when I’m more physically capable as I had done so with a hobby group until my diagnosis and treatment.

I’m not sure what would affect me, I’m not sure what I’m allowed to do and not sure if advice I’m given is correct.

Cancer survivor looking at career options. What should I do?

Hi so a bit of context I survived cancer that affected my intestines , kidney and bladder quite heavily as I’ve now got an artificial bladder in place. I previously worked retail however have lost my job as company went bust. Currently on job seekers, universal credit and trying to get on PIP.

Other disabilities I’m currently coming to terms with is damage to my voice from treatments during process which means I’m reduced speaking capacity my doctors have me fluent in ASL and I have a text to speech as my voice is straining and painful to speak.

I’ve been advised by the job centre to attend as many interviews as I can however I’m mobility impaired now and can’t drive due to eyesight to relegated to public transport.
Right now I want to get back into work however I’m struggling to find a job that complies with my access needs, I require to use a bathroom every hour due to the artificial bladder and medication I’m on. I’ve previously mentioned this at multiple interviews at Tesco, Aldi and Lidl as was advised by job centre to declare it.

So far no luck in getting a new job, I’ve been told by a friend not to declare it until I have the position however I’m worried about what that means in terms of my right to fair adjustments for disability and health needs, my parents are recommending I just go full time on benefits and try to return to volunteering at the museum I used to assist with, or go back to education until I’m confident and more healed.

I’m honestly not sure what to do at 27 as this wasn’t something I think anyone can plan for and wanted further opinions than my immediate surroundings. Thank you for your time

Khymaera new player

I’ve been recommended the Draconic dangers of of Khymaera but not sure where to start, I’ve noticed you seem to have to buy models in large sets is that gonna be always the case, I like the idea of running beasts and going very assassinate heavy. Only just starting to learn so if you want to convince me on a warcaster I’m open ears

Mech and solar as allies for night lords

So my partner after trying the game has decided he wants to start heresy, score one for hobby date nights I guess he’s not super enthusiastic about 40K at moment and has a bunch of solar auxilia infantry he was building for imperial guard in 40K
108 las rifle section and 6 veletaris with flamers and 6 with volkite from what I gather these aren’t legal squad sizes however believe he has the spare models to bulk them out to 10s and 120 las riflemen .
Now I’m curious I know we’ve got the Legiones auxilia for the night lords do we have something similar for the mechanicum?
Do we know if the Nostraman Damnatti *hope I spelt that right* are still with the traitors pre siege of terra or did they go loyalist?
What kits should he get I’m guessing dracosans and a Mechanicum combat force?
Sorry for this I’m not the most well versed in lore

Recommend a beginner some files!

I’m taking my first steps after getting a Centauri carbon two weeks ago, my local hobby store has dragged me into warhammer, mainly heresy and age of Sigmar but sisters of battle look fun, so I’ve heard of a few stl producers mainly seen stationforge and Dakka Dakka, so I’m curious do any producers make files good enough for fdm printing?
Do you have tips for an newbie?
I’m using orca slicer currently unsure if that’s best though

Returning player Night Lord advice

Recently been convinced by a local community to get back into heresy with a slow grow league and well MK4s are getting a redo so I want to dust off my night haunter get him built and painted, but what’s a primarch without a legion to lead, my favourite miniatures are the contekar, rapiers and saturnine praetor *which I’ve found night lord bits for my saturnine command squad*

My question to you is simple, can the night lords be fun and functional in the new edition and what would you recommend to me to pick up not counting the books.
