Hi all!

We are incredibly excited to be welcoming three bonded siblings to our family in September.

Our wonderful breeder has given some early insights into developing personalities, but I appreciate they’re only 7 weeks old at present so it’s still early days. I just wanted to get some input from people who have quite different cats from one another, personality wise.

1. Girl, is described as playful and outgoing - confident and likes to explore
2. Boy, is described as loving cuddles and a good chin scratch to sleep - a bit of a lap cat in the making, but adventurous when playing
3. Boy, is described as quieter (but not isolated), likes to observe before joining in but confidence

Hi all!

I have a voucher for a particular brand so am somewhat restricted to pet carrier options. I am looking at Tavo, and I need some advice on suitible sizing for a Ragdoll.

We are collecting two male kittens in September which is very exciting - but I appreciate they will grow to be larger than my previous fur babies.

I am undecided between the Tavo Maeve Small Flex (described as for a small dog) and Tavo Maeve Medium Rigid (described as for a medium dog). Below are the dimensions, with a picture of the carrier on the isofix base for the car so you can sort of understand the size visually.

Hello all!

I'm not at all musically inclined and electric guitars sort of go over my head completely - but my husband hasn't bought a new guitar in about a decade and has had the Schedter Solo II Evil Twin on his wish list for a long time. I'd like to order it for his birthday as a surprise (hence me not being about ask him this question!).

In the UK, we usually order all of his guitar things from Andertons but I noticed that he had it booked marked from a different site where they call what appears to be the same guitar something slightly different

Hi guys!

I'm at my wits end with this situation... Last week, our cat got his claw caught in a blanket and took a tumble backwards off our sofa, twisting his back in the process. We took him to the vet as he was in pain and they've prescribed him gabapentin (issue 1). In the process, they also discovered a heart murmur and did an echocardiogram, diagnosing early stage heart disease, they've prescribed him clopidogrel (issue 2).

Whilst he's a big boy, and chunky (but not overweight), he's not overly food driven and is adverse to certain textures. So... putting pills in food is problematic. We've tried three different types of pill pockets - the issue is that he doesn't gulp his food down,

Hi all,

I'm really sorry to bother you, but I wasn't sure where else to go for guidance. I'll try and keep it short.

A while ago, prior to our area going into Tier 3, we had booked an overnight stay at a spa the next town over - about a 20 minute drive away. It was for a special birthday, just members of our household going. The short trip was worth £700 - two rooms for one night, treatments, voucher towards dinner. Expensive, but it was to celebrate a special birthday.

Prior to booking, whilst hopeful that Covid wouldn't be an issue by then, we called anyway and talked what would happen if we had to cancel - they assured us that their cancellation policy was that we would receive a refun

Hi all!

Tomorrow, I am organising interviews via Teams. If I explain what I've done, could someone just confirm that this is the correct process and my understanding of how this will work is correct?

1. In my calendar, I set up a new meeting
2. I added a title, the times and added in all four participants (it didn't come up with the option to add myself, but I'm assuming that as I'm the one creating it and it's in my calendar this is a default?)
3. I understand that participants now get an email from me with the link and the option to accept/decline.

Tomorrow, am I right in thinking that I can go into the meeting early to greet people? As I didn't get the email inviting me to the meeting

Hello lovely people.

On Thursday, my dear family friend (and the biological mother of my adopted daughter), passed away very suddenly at only 50.

She had a sudden seizure and went into cardiac arrest Thursday morning, at home, with only her children with her. Despite working on her for over an hour and a half, she passed away our local hospital.

She leaves behind a severely disabled husband and three children, one of which is disabled herself. She was their main carer and sole breadwinner in the household, and her family are in dire financial need - it's heartbreaking to see them deal with the astronomical costs of even a basic cremation, alongside their own grief.

Her children's last me

Hello lovely people,

Can I get a bit of advice?

I saw an advert on facebook for a local gym (a franchise) back in April. I called the gym and had a long chat with a member of staff, I advised that I was a student at the time and just wanted something for a few months, we talked through discounts, what membership would entail in terms of access to facilities etc. I signed up over the phone and that was that.

Due to how ridiculously intensive my studies became between April and July (teacher training) I never ended up attending the gym, however kept paying the membership. Come November, I've still not gone - but have paid 6 months of fees, I emailed to cancel

Hi all!

Pretty self explanatory really... after dealing with some family stuff over the last few months and relocating (back to the area I originally trained in), I've just signed up to an agency and I have my first job tomorrow - three weeks teaching my specialist subject to KS3 and KS4.

Any tips for grappling with new kids and classes quickly? Any ideas on what I should be expected to undertake (planning, assessing, reporting, etc)?

Hi all!

Quick (probably very silly) question on OPK tests.

So we're doing the whole not-trying-not-preventing thing, whilst cutting down on bad stuff, getting healthier and generally trying to make sure we're in a good place.

I'm awfully concerned about my cycles though. To say they're not regular is the biggest understatement... I've never, ever, had a regular cycle since I was 13. They tend to be between 34 and 52 days, with a skipped period every four or five months. My last period was at the end of July through to the start of August. No sign of AF yet - so, I've been trying OPK's a couple of times a day since around the 20th of August- at no point have i had even the shadow of a s

Guys, we're a week out and now super poor thanks to paying off all our vendors. I so desperately want to chuck this in the fuck-it bucket.

So far we've paid for:

• Bridesmaids dresses (They're doing their own thing for shoes), $150

• Bridesmaids hair, $80

• Bridesmaids makeup, $90

• Bridesmaids bouquets, $80

• Groomsens suits, $150

• Groomsmens ties and pocket folds, $30

• Groomsmens cufflinks and tie clips, $20

• Hotels, $110-140

• Breakfast and drinks the morning of the wedding in our rooms

If we're paying for all the little bits, do we still have to do gifts? Could I get away with giving them a nice card with their flowers on the morning of the wedding and say a sincere tha
