Free to collect. I've had this a while but don't really use it. I've cleaned it as best I can but I don't really know how to clean the inside (which is why I haven't really used it).
Hi all I was diagnosed with ADHD a few years back and recently started medication, which has helped somewhat but I feel needs adjusting. NHS support starts and ends with medication and while I wait for an indefinite amount of time for my next medication review, I would like to explore other treatment options.
I'm wondering if anyone here has used or could recommend any ADHD coaching services. I feel like I need support with practical things like setting routines, strategies for initiating tasks when I'm wandering in circles not knowing what to do, help with organising and managing my household.
I had a bit of a Google and there does look to be some stuff available but I'm reluctant to reach out without seeing reviews or a price list. I'm not a huge earner so this would be something I'd need to make some sacrifices for, but if it helped me manage my condition better I would make it work.
Hi all I have 2 cats, 1 outdoor and 1 indoor. My outdoor cat is a bit of a roamer, he can be out for days at a time and only comes back for food, he also gets fed at a few neighbours houses. Unfortunately he seems to be going somewhere that has fleas (whether that's outside or someone else's houses I don't know)
Around December last year we had a pretty bad infestation that took a lot of work to deal with. I was shampooing carpets, boiling bedclothes, steaming mattresses. The cats got tablets and spot on treatments and nothing seemed to work until I got Seresto collars and FINALLY stopped getting bitten.
I saw what could have been potential bites on my legs and realised the 8 months were up and they needed new collars so I bought some off amazon and stuck them on. I hadn't noticed the cats scratching more than usual so didn't think much of it. That was around 10 days ago and I've just noticed a new potential bite.
Just wondering how long it could take for the collars to kill the fleas or if I need to go nuclear in the house again? I'm not even sure if it is fleas because I have been outside a lot myself. I think I'm just traumatised after last time.
All advice welcome and sorry for the massive post
My daughter is basically weaned from the boob altogether, save for a few sneaky drops that she manages to get when she's attached herself to me when I'm not paying attention.
I'm really struggling with her constantly pulling at me, putting her hand down my top, playing with my nipples, holding on to my boobs, pulling them out of my clothes. I try to distract her or redirect her, I try giving her snacks or a drink, I try giving her cuddles, I try giving her something else for her hands. It just feels relentless and sometimes I just don't even want her near me.
This phase is really testing my patience and I feel terrible for it. I just need to know how long it could go on for so I can try and focus on the light at the end of the tunnel
I live in an upstairs cottage flat and am wanting to fill a paddling pool up for the wain. There's an outside tap downstairs but it's broke and since I technically don't own it I can't get on at my neighbour's to fix it.
Anyone know if I could just buy a long garden hose and attach it to the kitchen tap and chuck it out the window? Don't want to spend the money and then find out this was actually a stupid idea
I'm turning my spare bedroom into my babies bedroom. It currently has a metal double bedframe and mattress in it. The mattress is lightly stained from my niece staying over and eating ice cream in the bed and falling asleep, so no chance of giving it away on market place because no one on earth wants a stained used mattress. I figured I could just keep it in that attic until my daughter needs it.
​
This is my first house, first mattress, first baby etc so I haven't a clue what I'm doing here - all advice is appreciated. I've cleaned it up and bought a protective bag to put it in but am just wondering the best way to get it up through the hatch. I was thinking roll it up and tie it with rope maybe?
Before I had my daughter I enjoyed going out for pints or heading round to a mates to drink wine and chat shite. I used to vape. I used to occasionally go partying. I gave it all up when I got pregnant and it's the rare occasion I get to go out now that she's here.
​
I get her down to bed and eat ice cream and chocolate in front of the TV or scrolling absolute nonsense on tiktok. I can't say it's particularly fulfilling. I miss going for a wee social drink but since my partner works nights I'm in the house with the baby by myself. I want to have a bit of a treat for myself (hence the ice cream) but I just feel like this isn't really cutting it and will eventually lead to me getting fillings in all my teeth.

What do you do to make your Friday nights your own?
I understand that everyone's birth experiences are different and that long labours are exhausting and can be traumatic. When I speak to people about my experience of having a precipitous labour, of going from 1cm to 10cm dilated in under 2hrs, and having my baby on my chest 30 minutes later, I am always met with "wow you're lucky!" or "I wish my labour was like that"
But I don't feel lucky. I was in non-stop pain from the moment I was in active labour with no breaks in contractions at all. I was completely out of it. As soon as one started to fade away a new one started picking up. I can't remember any of the details of my labour except for random little flashes in no particular order. My body didn't have time to stretch and move so I had quite bad tearing. I didn't get a chance to mentally process what was happening to me because my labour hit me like a brick wall. I didn't have the chance to even consider pain relief because there wasn't time. I felt like I didn't get to have the labour I was expecting - I had expected contractions to come and go - but I just spent the whole time trying not to be swept away by the onslaught of pain I was feeling.
That was my only labour so I have nothing to compare it to, maybe I'm being dramatic 🤷♀️ maybe I am lucky and if I were to experience an 8hr labour I'd be thanking my lucky stars for my precipitous labour. I know that I didn't have a traumatic labour and I am incredibly thankful for that, nothing went wrong and I got my daughter here safely, that's all that matters. But still, I can't help but feel like a precipitous labour is a tough one, and I wish more people understood that.
Am I the only one who feels like this? Should I feel lucky?
Has anyone done intensive driving lessons in Glasgow? Any recommendations for instructors? Is it worth the upfront cost over traditional driving lessons? I did driving lessons years ago and would have been close to test ready but never went through with it (covid) and now I'd like to finally go back to it but the thought of going through weeks of lessons, trying to find an instructor with availability etc is making me want to look at other options.
Sorry posted this to r/glasgow and it was removed, wasn't sure where else to post it
I'd like to learn sign language but I'm not sure whether to start with BSL or ISL. I don't have any one in my life who uses sign so nothing that way to sway the decision. Would appreciate any and all input.
