r/ADHDUK•

I'm looking for a right to choose option without a massively long wait time but I'm not sure how the website works:

https://adhduk.co.uk/nhs-area/

Do I just have the green options listed here, and is the information accurate in terms of wait times? Should I call up a few to ask about wait times? Is this list exhaustive?

I tried ringing up a couple I found outside of this that advertised better wait times but they said they don't cover my area (Newcastle)

Thanks for any advice anyone can give me :)

r/AloeVera•

My aloe vera has both fungus gnats and red leaves so I don't know if I'm overwatering it or underwatering it.

I've repotted with 50% pumice and 50% succulent mix, and I've sprayed it with rubbing alcohol to get rid of some mealy bugs.

It's also in a south facing window that gets a lot of light, particularly at the moment, so I'm wondering if it's too much light (though for an aloe vera plant I'd be surprised?) I'm in northern England by the way!

Thanks for any advice :)

r/Kefir•

1: Does it make a difference whether you cover the jar of kefir with muslin/ leave the lid on loosely? (Guessing that it doesn't do well with low oxygen so screwing the lid on isn't ideal?)

2: What do I do if I go on holiday for a couple of weeks? Do they just keep going in the milk happily?

3: The first batch I made took about 48 hours before it started to look lumpy (the instructions the grains came with said 24 hours to a few days) and when I strained it, it was nice but quite thin- does it get any thicker over time or does that only happen if you add cream?

4: I've read conflicting things about using metal to strain the grains- what do you all use?

Thanks for the advice!

Does anyone near Durham make kefir and have some spare grains? Would be great to chat about the process of making it too!

r/Kefir•

Do you need a starter kit or can you use shop bought kefir?

Can you keep replenishing it like sourdough?

Does it make a difference which grains I use or are any as good as any other?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

r/DIYUK•

I've got a Beko washer dryer and it makes a grinding sound when I switch it on.

Thing is, it seems to happen before the drum spins, and it doesn't seem to happen on every setting I use.

I've had a chat with a couple of washing machine service people and both have said that if it's the bearings it's better to just get a new machine.

Does this sound like it's worth getting looked at at least?

Thanks for any help!

Additional info:

There doesn't seem to be any free play on the drum moving it up and sideways, it seems to spin okay by hand, the grinding sound comes before the drum spins, there's no rust or leaking, no sparks or anything:

After a bit of research it could be the motor carbon
