Missed my payment day

Hey guys, my mum passed away two months ago and I was claiming carers allowance for her , but naturally I’ve told them she’s passed however I’m also trying to claim now as a carer for my younger brother who I also look after

The problem is that since my last payment at the start of may; they’ve told me I need to go into the job centre and have a meeting with them and until then I won’t receive any money . Which was fine because my meeting was initially on the 4th and my payment day is the 5th, but then it changed to the 10th, which was manageable, then on the 9th they changed to a day I couldn’t do without checking with me beforehand, then they changed it to the 30th and again changed it the day before , so I’m now nearly completely out of money in my account and i can’t get to my meeting because they keep changing the date , as much as I’m trying to get there and argue my case I’m losing money and taking days off of work only for them to change the day last minute

What can I do here?it’s now the 6th so I’ve missed another payment day yesterday

Return charge

Hello, I recently cancelled my contract with virgin through the bereavement clause, meaning there was no cancellation fee. And on the phone I was assured multiple times that I would not need to return my kit as it was old so I can safely just dispose of it myself which it’s been gone a few weeks by now.
I’ve just received a letter in the post now saying that I need to return the kit or pay over £1000
What steps can I take

Missed some Eggs (GALS)

Hi guys, I usually turn my soil once a week both to keep it fresh and check for eggs (they've never laid them before in the long time ive had them but i check anyway)

While i was filling their bowl today i noticed some little brown specs on the soil which at first i thought couldve been wood chips but then i noticed little eyes poking out.

Ive since collected all the babies i could find into a tub and cleaned and turned all the soil to make sure i didnt miss any eggs or other babies, but i dont know what to do with these babies I have now, I don't have the space to keep them. Is it humane to freeze them or is it better to just squish at this point

IV Breeding

Is there any actual point in this gen? Im playing on the switch version if it makes a difference, it's the only pokemon game i have access to.
The team im planning on running (only just beat surge so the team is a work in progress)
So far i only have raticate and primape
Raticate - (Physical) Strength, Rock Smash, Cut, Super Fang/Hyper Fang)
Primeape - (Physical) Cross Chop, Earth Quake, Brick Break, Rock Slide
Vaporeon - (Special) Surf, Ice Beam, Waterfall, Acid Armour
Jolteon - (Special) Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball, Bite, Pin Missile
Dragonite - (Special) Fly, Dragon Claw, Thunderbolt, Flamethrower (might swap for charizard because she's my starter)
Alakazam - (Special) Psychic, Fire Punch, Ice Punch, Thunder Punch

My raticate and Primeape had the highest IVs on their physical attack, health, and speed possible at the level I caught them, but i dont know if its made a difference now that ive levelled them up. My Charizard also has good special and hp
Is it worth selective breeding for the best IVs? is it even feasible to get 5 31s or no?

I know i could beat the game without even checking their stats, but I want to be able to absolutely steamroll everything, and right now my raticate is the only thing thats a real killer in my team, I may also do some battling with my brother who plays leaf green so it would be funny to bring out some max ivs and wipe the floor

Xiaomi box 3rd gen

Where can I reliable get a new one of these in the UK? I’ve had the alerts on on the actual Xiaomi site for over a week now but still none in stock, and my current tv contract expires in a week so the sooner I can get this the better.
Googles first recommended sites are aliexpress and temu but would these be legit models?

Resetting for a good starter

While a shiny would ofcourse be nice, I don’t have the energy to sit around all night resetting for it
I’m going for a female charmander with modest nature and good IVs (health, speed, special attack)
At the moment I’ve got a female, docile; 20hp, 12spa, 12spe

Would there be a noticeable difference if I kept resetting for the better nature or shall I stick with this

looking for a new "stick" to buy

Hi guys, im in the UK and looking for a streaming stick to buy, ideally under £80
My only experience is with an old firestick which used to be really good but now it takes about 10 minutes to turn on and another 10 to load an app, so an upgrade is definitely needed
Would be great if it can also do livetv without any extra subscriptions but i dont know much about how possible it is, aslong as it can do itv, channel 4, 5, disney, netflix, prime video, youtube we'd be happy basically, definitely does not have to be a firestick

Internet providers?

Hi guys, my mum recently passed so for the past month we’ve been doing our best to sort out all the bills and work out our prices etc, today the internet was turned off due to the direct debit stopping and I’ve found out we’re paying £60 a month for combined tv and broadband with virgin, is this a lot of money because it seems like it?

We live in the West Yorkshire , Wakefield area if anyone knows a good cheaper provider that can do broadband and tv
Thanks

14 Snails?

Hi guys, about 2 years ago I got some giant african land snails a few months apart (2 fulicas) and they're both what I believe to be full size now, a few months ago my partner and I decided to adopt some more from a pet shop that was closing down to save them, but its been on my mind for a while; where am i gonna keep them all?
How big of a tank would i need for all 14 fulicas to be able to live together? I am happy with cleanups and egg checks, that isnt a concern for me.
Just how much room would they all need together

We are looking at getting fast passes due to my brother being disabled, so hopefully ride waits wont be quite as long / taxing

We also will be getting food there, whats good! My brother wants a burger (plant based) but we're pretty easy as long as its good food

Tattooist recommendations?

Looking for just about 5cm wide tattoo of just something my mum wrote before she passed away traced?
If possible somewhere that does ash tattoos where some of the ashes are mixed with the ink? But I don’t know how common that practice is.

What can I do?

(England) For the past 2 years I’ve been acting as a secondary carer to my mum, and so have been receiving around £500 a month from universal credit (carers allowance around £150 and job seekers allowance for free around £350)(values not exact)

Last month my mum passed away, so soon these benefits will stop .
I’m currently self employed full time as a dog walker and pet sitter, so the money is slow and not always reliable, is there any method for me to get extra income support while doing this?
