@duolingo somethings wrong, no quest points for friends quest completed nor the double xp in shop for claiming later. Also only 1 quest point given today after completing 2 of the challenges.
Either one of those would give me the months badge 😢
On a 1910 day streak!

@sainsburys not accepting their gift cards today.
ok - wait until I've loaded my trolley etc and gotten to pay then say
'we can't accept them, you're the third one this am'.
Nonsense - I should've dumped the trolley and walked out but we need the groceries/baby was fussing.

@TSB what's going on with your app? Can't log in with biometrics or memorable info. Been going on hours now. Hubs and daughter having same issue. I need to move funds urgently and also can't access authorisation for an order. This is ridiculous. Not the first time lately either!

Went for keyhole surgery for Gallbladder removal on Saturday 18th. Turned into open surgery eventually closed with 25 staples. Round up with an infection where the gallbladder was. Got home yesterday but still unreal levels of pain.
I don't think I could ever face surgery again.

@CDDFTNHS Cancelled 4 times.
Cancelled April.
Cancelled June.
Cancelled July.
Cancelled again July.

I get that people want better pay but I don't deserve to be treated like a chess piece where my mental health suffers for someone else wanting more money. I can't get this time back.

Messed around by @CDDFTNHS again they cancelled my 31/7/25 (originally 3/4/25) appointment then email me to go to the NHS App to confirm the new one only to have the confirmation page offer another longer delay 16/8/25 or cancel my referral. All this to collect a prescription?!

[Alison 💙💚🧡💜 @BrokenMinusN]

@CDDFTNHS Let's be clear - cancelled again.
Sickness according to the call, consultant is on call according to the email and finally now its coming down to what I expected - strike. Well when it's over you all can turn back time for the photo with my newborn that I don't have because of it

[Alison 💙💚🧡💜 @BrokenMinusN]

@CDDFTNHS I wasn't going to bother because I was given another appointment.
Big surprise its just been cancelled AGAIN. Can't have a 15 minute appointment and all because you know today that it's cancelled for sickness next week?! Annoyed doesn't cover it.

Our beautiful baby girl is 6 weeks old tomorrow and her dad has been called into a meeting on the first day of his second weeks paternity leave to be told he's being made redundant unless he transfers further away to permanaent nightshifts! Seriously stressed in our house!

Third trimester = garlic cravings are back!
Sorted for me tonight by @PapaJohnsUK with the must have special garlic. Sadly they don't deliver to us anymore so extra had to be ordered and collected. He got a 'funny' look from the staff when collecting!
Honest I don't bathe in it.

My 17yo suffers with serious anxiety from ASD and has gone alone today for her experience day at @NorthumbriaUni
She called very upset twice in the first hour and is scared but battling through the anxiety. Wish I could be there 😔 Super proud of her determination to do it.

[Alison 💙💚🧡💜 @BrokenMinusN]

Gutted that @CDDFTNHS text me and cancelled my appt that was only 15 minutes long on 3rd April. moved it to 2 days before I'm due to give birth in June!
15 minute appt to pick up a prescription for my 1st NHS wig.
Stolen the moment of a photo with my newborn but won't say why.

[Alison 💙💚🧡💜 @BrokenMinusN]

Took all of my lives telling me I was wrong today

[Alison 💙💚🧡💜 @BrokenMinusN]

Hey @duolingo
I think there's something wrong with your maths today?!

[Alison 💙💚🧡💜 @BrokenMinusN]

Hey @duolingo
I finally made it a full 365 days without a streak freeze being used at all!
1400 day streak in total.
Now I just have to keep it up until at least June!
I'm a little bit proud of myself.

[Alison 💙💚🧡💜 @BrokenMinusN]

Hey @duolingo.
I'm being asked to refill my streak freeze because I've run out but I'm on a successful streak since 21 Jan 2024 without using one at all.
Somethings wrong somewhere I think!

[Alison 💙💚🧡💜 @BrokenMinusN]

I saw the word McRib - but 404 😔
Got the belly all excited for nothing @McDonaldsUK that's cruel!

[Alison 💙💚🧡💜 @BrokenMinusN]

Cis female misgendered as male:
the complaints process is basically sorry you were made to feel that way and its not on your notes so there is no proof!
They took my dignity and crushed my spirit but none of the 7 staff involved remembers anything they said/did that was wrong.
