Decide what you want to do, retrain and give it a good go. The most common reaction is to let inertia take over and sleepwalk towards middle age getting underpaid for a job you despise. That was me. ("Despise" might be too strong, but "not enjoyable".) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like boy who cried wolf now but I’m going to ask for training or opportunities next month and explain that it’s that or I need to look elsewhere. They can’t defend their previous actions and will probably give it tough leave then but I think I need to hear it then act on it. As tough as it is in this financial climate, despite not appearing to do anything I have saved up enough to step away and pursue education while doing part time or full time. Not good timing with universities though either tbh but f**k it. Good for you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volatility shouldn't be too much of an issue if you balance your portfolio well and increase your percentage of less volatile investments (i.e. bonds) as you approach end enter retirement. Of course, if you retired thinking the market would continue gaining at 15% a year then you're in for a tough time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) The NHS is magnificent and we can't let the Tory and Labour (throw in the Lib Dems too, but they're insignificant enough) scum dismantle it and make it like the hideous America health service that is an outrageous con. The American health service is ran for pure profit and the shit they can get away is breathtaking. The money they charge for things is straight up extortion. A truly despicable and disgusting system that takes some beating in how corrupt it is. We absolutely have to fight for the NHS and not let the health service in the UK, and then in Scotland, become anything like the American system. Anyway, woke up on Saturday with horrendous toothache. Had never experienced anything like it. Dreadful stuff. Masses of ibuprofen and paracetamol barely put a dent in it. It was weird though as at times it would subside then come back double. I'm not registered with a dentist so on Monday morning I called the emergency NHS number for Tayside, which happened to be the dental hospital. It was an answering machine so I left a message. After hanging up I did some Googling, as the pain was pretty awful just then. Found another number for emergency dental treatment, this time at King's Cross. Called them up and they offered me an appointment for 15.00 that afternoon. Just after I hung up (after taking the appointment obviously) the dental hospital phoned back to offer me an appointment (which I politely declined). At the appointment at King's Cross they did an X-ray and saw the issue. Because of COVID they couldn't do the required procedure then (the dentist said she usually would but restrictions and protocols mean they have to do big cleans of rooms etc) so was booked in at 12.00 on Wednesday. Made it through to Wednesday with the pain ebbing and flowing. Went to the appointment and after about 10 minutes of drilling and tool work, a new filling was in place and the toothache was seemingly sorted (couldn't tell for sure at the time as my mouth was all numbed up). The good news was confirmed when the numbing stuff wore off later and I was pain free. Absolutely brilliant service all round, and the speed of getting it all sorted, when there are so many restrictions in place, was incredible. Oh, and the total cost? £0, although I would happily have paid them everything I had* to get rid of the toothache. *Ok, everything I have is little more than zero but it was pay day on Wednesday and I would given them the lot to stop the pain Edited October 1, 2020 by DA Baracus 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't this the rhino that shat all over the Blue Peter studio? The last one passed away November last year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
