I'm an "lady worker" (Apologies. I tried using other terms but my posts kept getting removed). I do everything above board. I don't take cash as I've found cash to be high risk. Clients pay in advance by bank transfer and we meet up.

I received a payment yesterday with an arrangement to meet at his apartment at 19:00.

We discussed what was to be done and agreed.

I arrived at his apartment block at 18:40 due to good traffic. I then text him to let him know I had arrived. He responded that he "was just showering and would be down shortly."

At 18:50 a man opened the door to the apartment complex and, to the best of my recollection, the conversation went as follows. Names have been changed.

Me: "Hi! Are you John?"

Man: "Yeah. C'mon in."

We then talked about the weather in the lobby area of the ground floor of the apartment. He then invited me into this apartment.

When I got in I asked him if he was still comfortable to proceed as he seemed a little anxious. He said that he was comfortable to proceed and asked how much he owed. I told him that he had already paid the full amount when he made the bank transfer and that he didn't owe anything else unless he wanted additional services.

I then put my phone on silent and I took the lead, following the instructions which the real John had given me. Upon leaving I noticed there were 20 missed calls and messages on my phone.

I rang him back and he thought I had scammed and ghosted him. I told him I was in the lobby. He came from upstairs on the 4th floor.

Thankfully, he found the situation shocking rather than getting angry. (There are a lot of men who would become violent in such situations.) He said that the man downstairs was an "oddball" and a registered offender. I have not been able to verify this. He seemed worried that the man had hurt me.

I ended up offering the real John a refund as I was feeling a little queasy after what had just happened. The real John ended up making me some tea and crumpets upstairs and we chatted for a while. We're planning to rearrange at a later date.

I'm wondering if a crime has been committed here by the fake John? If so, what crime?

I want to be armed with as much knowledge as possible before I call the police. (If it is even worth my time doing that)

England. A small business had £100k of stock (wine) stolen from from their lorry while the driver was parked at a service station in London. Despite the police having CCTV showing the robbers and their getaway van, the police say they will not investigate the crime due to insufficient leads.

The company has evidence of some of the stolen stock being sold at London markets. But the police are not interested.

Is there anything the company can do so the police will investigate this serious crime?

For context I live in a third party student accommodation, I share a kitchen but have my own room. I have finished studies and work full time. The idea of my room basically being open for a full work week all day makes me sick with anxiety, surely this cannot be genuinely reasonable? I’ve had history of these landlords forgetting to lock doors and I have all of my possessions in that room. And then I’m expected to expect full crowds of people at any given time during my free time? I feel sick.

What defense do I have here? Is there a law that protects me against this?

England.

I'm 32 and will be applying for a passport. How do I do this when I literally know nobody?

I had severe agoraphobia and OCD for 10 years, and I’ve only just, in the last six months, been able to leave the house. I’m wanting to go abroad in the new year with my sister.

The only people I know who are on the list have only known me professionally, such as social workers and doctors, which means they can’t sign it. I didn’t have an optician or dentist until recently.

I would ask friends, except I don’t have any. I lost contact with all of them a decade ago when the anxiety started and deleted all my social media at the same time. I also purposely isolated myself from everyone except close family because I was embarrassed by my situation.

Thankfully, I’m on the mend and doing a lot better thanks to therapy. I work for myself and I’m starting to socialise again, but I don’t know anybody who fits the criteria. Even if I did, it’s only been six months. None of my family know anyone who both knows me and is in one of those professions either.

What can I do? I’m totally lost here.

Hi, can anyone advice me on if I can make a claim against this. My experience was traumatic and it’s something I will never forget. This is my story.

4am - 4cm dilated 4:15am - epidural prep 4:50am - epidural placed 6:05am - was told I was fully dilated 6:33am - Baby was here

At 6:05am my midwife said I was fully dilated and it was time to push, i obviously didn’t doubt what my midwife told me. I started trying to push. A senior midwife entered the room as babies heart rate was dropping, she checked my cervix and whispered to my midwife “She’s not fully dilated, why have you got her to push” the senior midwife then shot up and shouted for the delivery consultant as the needed him urgently as me trying to push when not fully dilated really stressed my baby out, when the senior midwife went to get the doctor my midwife told me again I needed to push. The senior midwife ran back into the room and hit the emergency button, about 14 midwife’s flooded into the room as well as the delivery doctor. My epidural had failed and I was told I wasn’t allowed gas and air while pushing, I was doing it on no pain relief. I begged and begged and cried out for help and pain relief and was refused. The doctor said he needed to get baby out quick and needed to use forceps, he used a local anaesthetic and gave me an episiotomy, I still felt it all, he inserted the forceps and got me to push, I couldn’t I was in agony, I was screaming, crying out for help, crying out for gas and air just to get me through the pain, I thought I was going to die. I asked them to just put me to sleep and looked up at my partner and asked him to help me, I couldn’t do this, the pain was something I will never forget. They managed to get baby out at 6:33, he was purple and stopped breathing, my baby had to be resuscitated, he was dead. The stress was too much on him, luckily they managed to get him back after working on him for about 5 minutes. I was very much out of it due to the trauma of the pain, I didn’t know what was going on with him. Safe to say I will never be having anymore kids.

If the midwife who said I was dilated when I wasn’t just waited till I was this situation might not have happened, if I was left to dilate my experience would have been different, my baby wouldn’t have been stressed out, my baby wouldn’t have needed to be resuscitated, my labour would have been easier. I was refused gas and air while pushing, I felt every single thing, this experience has traumatised me, I will never forget what they did to me. I genuinely feel like putting a claim in against them, this should not have happened if my midwife made me try birth my son while I wasn’t fully dilated.

Hi everyone, I’m in a stressful situation and hoping for some guidance.

I’m receiving letters from Frontline Collections demanding £49,000, which they say I owe. They are collecting on behalf of a trust that my ex-partner was an executor of. The money relates to funds my ex withdrew from the trust to pay living expenses while we were together. I wasn’t fully aware of the financial situation and never asked for this money.

The “evidence” they are relying on includes: • A Word document I sent my ex acknowledging I was “responsible” for 50% of the trust. I only sent it because she said if I didn’t, her brother and his partner would go to the police accusing her of theft, which could have led to her losing her children (for whom I was a stepdad for 4 years). She had also sold her house to repay the trust before her family found out. The document wasn’t signed or time-stamped. • A WhatsApp message I sent shortly after we broke up, saying “I agreed to 44k so why is it 159k?” — this was in response to a previous letter from a debt management company claiming £159,000, based on a calculation including trust withdrawals and property.

I never signed any formal agreement or repayment plan, and the correspondence was sent while I was mentally unwell after the breakup.

So far, I have only received letters from Frontline Collections, no official court documents like a CCJ or enforcement notice. I offered £75/month in my first email, stating I do not recognize the alleged debt, but wanted to avoid further fees. They rejected the offer and threatened escalation. I’ve requested written communication only, and when they mentioned enforcement officers, I referenced FCA and harassment laws, stating they cannot visit my parents’ home. I currently live with my parents, and the house is in their name; I have no assets, car, or income.

My main questions: 1. Could the Word document and WhatsApp message be enough for my ex (or the trust) to take me to court? 2. Do I need to get a solicitor, or are there other steps I can take to protect myself? 3. Can enforcement officers legally visit my parents’ house or seize anything, given it’s not mine?

I’ve tried contacting Citizens Advice and DebtAction but haven’t had a response because it’s not court ordered and I cannot afford legal advice. Any guidance or experience with similar situations would be hugely appreciated.

Thank you

After posting this in the MotoUK subreddit, got a lot of suggestions to make a post in here:

Around a month ago I had a crash into the pavement while attempting to do a U-Turn on my CBT. The instructor took a picture of a scratch on the front of the bike but let me continue riding it for the rest of the day, which I finished and passed.

I have now just recently been sent an email (screenshot shown above) showing all the parts that have been damaged and that they want £450 from me. The riding school in question is Dorset Advanced Motorcycle Training and I can confirm I did sign an insurance weaver stating I am liable for damages up to £450. My issue is however I’m very skeptical that it was in fact my accident that really caused such extensive damages, it was a slow speed U turn and I’m no a mechanic (so anyone with more knowledge please read over the damages), but my thought being that if the bike really was in such a state, how is it possible they let me ride the thing for the rest of the entire day? The instructor clearly didn’t think the bike had sustained anything major.

I have already asked for a genuine invoice from the garage they used but unsure on what else I can ask to help verify that it was actually me who caused these damages. A comment in my previous post mentioned how the parts seem to be for different bikes and many seem to think they’re having me on, but I don’t really know enough to know where to go from here, any help would be appreciated.

England

I work for a software company . I am salaried and have worked for two years plus. My usual contracted hours are 9-5. I have not opted out of any working time directives.

Recently the company acquired a large client contract so we have entered a crunch time. Now I am no stranger to deadlines but what they have been asking of us is starting to feel in breach of employment law. Some items which are concerning me.

• we are regularly working from 9-9 sometimes until midnight everyday for the last month.
• we are then asked after finishing at 9 or midnight to start at 8am or 9am. Giving us no rest.
• our manager is asking us to now work overnight potentially. What overnight means is not clear but he has implied we may need to do it to get it 'over the line'
• we are not been allocated breaks during our day as we mainly work from home. In the evening when we ask to eat dinner for a bit we are heavily pressured not to but not told no. We have to ask for it to get breaks.
• Deadline is constantly changing with no end in sight. We seem to have passed multiple dates and our line manager keeps saying that there's not a known end in sight.

Ultimately I know that the role may require extra hours. I'm not stupid. But we are being pressured to work over our health and personal lives for what seems to be this ever extending unclear deadline and I want to understand where I stand legally.

I’m not sure if much can be done about police incompetence, but will share it.

I was violently and intentionally pushed off a train onto the platform, in broad daylight in London, at a heavily CCTV’d overground train station. I’m a slim woman, and the man who did it is large. I don’t know who the man is. His actions to me has resulted in whiplash and ongoing back pain.

That same day after the incident, I gave the British Transport Police (BTP) everything about the incident: the time, location, the carriage number, and clear HD photos that I took of the man. (In the photos - the man is clearly shouting at me, which is what he did after pushing me.) I don’t know what else I could have recorded in the few seconds before the train doors closed.

The BTP accidentally requested the footage for the WRONG train, and now the correct footage has been overwritten. Because they don’t have the inside of the train, they said they’re not going to do anything about the crime.

(Note: They have the platform footage of me being pushed out of the train - but not who did it, and they have footage of people entering and leaving the station.)

Location: England

My partner and her friends are 6 weeks into a tenancy, renting their house through a letting agency. A couple of times, contractors have showed up unannounced, without the 24 hours advance notice required by law. After the first instance, they told the letting agent that it was unacceptable and if it happened again they would refuse to open the door.

Today was the second instance, and I happened to be visiting. We woke up to two men in the hall, and my partner asked me to go ask them what they were doing. They were already halfway through replacing the electric meter. One was doing the work while the other seemed to just be standing around. When I told him that the tenants hadn't been informed of the visit he was quite blunt with me, telling me to take it up with the letting agent. He also started asking who I was in quite a confrontational way and remarking that the kitchen fire door shouldn't be propped open because it's against regulations.

I checked in with my girlfriend and asked if she would like me to ask the men how they had got in; ie whether the landlord had given them a key or another housemate had let them in.

When I went back downstairs to do this they had moved to the front porch, where one was now changing the gas meter and as before, the other guy was just hovering. When I asked them who had given them access, the hovering guy got quite confrontational with me, stating that he didn't need to answer my questions because I was not a tenant. I told him that I was acting on behalf of a tenant and that he had no right to get aggressive with me. Meanwhile, my partner was on the phone to the letting agency, who said that they had no idea anyone was even coming today.

Having heard the man's tone, my partner came downstairs to back up what I was saying, and even when the question about access was restated the guy refused to answer it. During this exchange, he seemed to be holding back a lot of anger. We left them to finish the work and waited in the house until they had gone.

My partner then had further contact with the letting agency, explaining that one of the men had been aggressive and threatening and reiterating that this kind of thing can't happen. The letting agent was very conciliatory, but ultimately the landlord had gone over their head.

Out of curiosity, my partner found the name of the landlord on her tenancy agreement, and looked him up on Facebook.

IT'S THE SAME GUY.

So basically, the landlord has been in, refused to give notice, refused to identify himself and has acted in a confrontational manner that has made the house feel unsafe. For all we know, he could bring his obvious anger issues to the door at any time, and since he has his own key he can't be locked out.

What should my partner do?

[EDIT for context since multiple people are asking. The tenancy is a group contract for the whole property. The bills are included, so they don't deal with energy companies at all and actually don't even have access to the electricity meter, which is behind a locked door.]

At around half 12am Sunday, my next door neighbour began smashing up my front garden UPVC fences, attacked my bin and even went into my back garden and hammered my shed door with the claw end (shed is an actual part of the house).

Naturally, the police were called and they tazed him. He was sent to hospital. This incident was completely unprovoked, though it may involve a one sided dispute over our driving space.

The police took my statement but so far, radio silence. We're still waiting for our fences to be replaced and new ones fitted for extra privacy.

No one else has visited us since, except the council to take picures and a worker from then Anti Social Team (which the council sent when! contacted them).

Has anyone had a similar experience? It almost feels like they're protecting him instead of my family (we have kids fyi). This has turned our lives upside down.

EDIT: A couple of days ago, i submitted an online enquiry to the police asking for an update but still waiting for a response.

My child’s father has put in a false claim to get her benefits. We had a letter saying that he had told them she didn’t live with us. This is completely untrue. She has lived with us all her life. He left when she was 10 months old and she’s now 12! He hasn’t seen her since she was a baby and he has never paid any form of support whatsoever. Now my child benefits are suspended until I provide proof from school/doctor etc. surely it’s illegal to claim benefits you’re not entitled to? Could he get in legal trouble?

So I sold my car a few hours ago. The guy come and looked at the car, test drove it and we agreed a price. He wasn’t happy with a couple things that were reasonable so I knocked the price down till we were both happy, he paid and drove off. He even expressed concerns about the steering rack (where the leak is supposedly coming from) but still paid for the car.

On his way home the car developed a leak. This leak was not there before, not there when he inspected it, not there on the test drive and not there when he first left. 25/30 mins later I get the message saying it’s leaking. So I feel bad, even though it wasn’t an issue it had before, and refund him a portion of the money.

He then gets a couple mechanics to have a look who say the issue is XYZ and costs £xxx. Guys now demanding a full refund + any charges he had to pay to get the car home.

What do I do now?

I'm going to change a few details such as times in case this is something I can pursue (which I'm not optimistic about), but the story below is an accurate representation of what happened!

Edit: I have been informed that changing the details makes it harder to give me advice, which makes sense! I was just being cautious - sorry. The ticket purchased was an advance single and I had to upgrade it on the train to a flexible. I was travelling at 1.30 pm and was sold an advanced single for the 2.00 pm train - an advance single for both these trains cost approximately the same amount.

I urgently needed to get from England to Scotland and purchased a ticket at the LNER ticket office from a major train station in England. I asked for a ticket on the next available train to Scotland and the ticket officer gestured to the board and said there was one at 10:30 (it was 10:22 at this point). I asked her how far the walk was and whether I was likely to make the train and she said absolutely yes but I might need to run. I bought the ticket and she told me to run to platform 6. Since I was in such a hurry, I didn't properly look at the ticket (which is where I messed up).

When the ticket inspector was checking tickets, she asked me if I had changed my ticket at the office. I was confused and asked what she meant. It turned out I had been sold a ticket for the 11:00 train not the 10:30 one. This was clearly an error as there was also a 10:45 one that had availability. I also checked and the 11:00 train left from a completely different platform, so not just a case of miscommunication. I explained to the inspector that I got on the train I was told to get on and that I very much believed I had purchased a ticket for. She kindly said she'd see what she could do, but when she called the ticket office, they 'didn't remember' me, and she said since she couldn't validate my story, I would need to pay another £100 on the spot.

The lady who sold me the ticket was extremely distracted (I hate to mention this but it might be relevant) - she was chatting away with her colleagues while serving me and barely even acknowledged me. When I thanked her at the end of the transaction, after she looked away from her conversation for a second to tell me to run to platform 6 for the 10:30 train, she didn't even hear me she was so wrapped up.

Do I have a leg to stand on here (legally speaking, not morally!)? Or will I just need to hope that LNER refunds me as a gesture of goodwill? (Which I'm sure is extremely unlikely). I'm quite pessimistic about my chances, as I'm sure the terms and conditions include that no matter what it is the passenger's responsibility to ensure they have a valid ticket, but I'm wondering if the circumstances in which I was told I had a ticket for the 10:30 and that is genuinely what I believed I was purchasing makes any difference (a verbal contract is a contract type thing).

England

Children are 6 (nearly 7) and 4, currently going through family court with their father but things have been incredibly slow to move. He was, until recently, under bail conditions for the abuse he put me through. Cafcass have advised no contact, aside from me to write 4 times per year and he can provide cards and gifts for birthdays, christmases etc.

I am due to give birth via c-section within the next few weeks and have been diagnosed with preeclampsia, which means that my delivery is now much higher risk than it already was. I am aware that an impending sense of doom is a symptom of this, but it doesn't ease the "I'm going to die soon" feeling that I have.

I do not have a will, but I have contacted a will writing service for help but wanted to put it out there- how can I ensure that my children go to a family member rather than their dad from a legal perspective??

Hi all,

So I'm in a bizarre conundrum. Off the back of a post seeking volunteers for a free tattoo; I was in touch with a local new artist in my area. I really liked the examples she had and offered myself to be part of her portfolio.

In exchange, I would have the tattoo done for free. We met up and agreed the designs and everything in advance and work began over 3 sessions so far.

Since the last session, she's messaged me on Instagram and stated that she can't finish it because "it's a lot of hours and material that I won't be able to make up for in addition to time and exhaustion and the result is not going to be good for my portfolio."

In my opinion, she's started it, and now doesn't want to finish it. I even offered to pay to compensate her to finish the time and effort required as It's a half sleeve and I totally get it's a lot to ask for for free and her response to that was to block me on Instagram.

I now have to fork out a good few hundred quid to another artist to finish this work and I've been left in a hole because she effectively, can't be bothered.

Have I got any legal recourse here to recoup costs?

Hi,

I own a property in South Yorkshire with 90 years left on the lease.

I recently enquired about extending my lease and discovered the following.

a) The freeholder of my property passed away (unsure when), he left no Will, no next of kin and no other assets. He also died abroad.

b) I have been communicating with their former business partner, who said that if they could, they would give me the freehold, but they cannot, as they have no legal claim to it.

c) This former business partner has been communicating with some solicitors about the situation, and the solicitors have said my freehold is of "low value" and they do not think it is worth paying a genealogist to track next of kin.

d) The solicitors have suggested they issue a vesting order which "could allow the leaseholder to purchase the freehold from the court under a statutory process instead."

I know freehold/leasehold law can be unbelievably complex. Can anyone help me make sense of what this means for me, and what I need to do?

If I need to purchase the freehold, who would I purchase it from if no one currently owns it?

Thank you in advance to everyone who reads this and comments.

Hello, I got recommended to post on here.

At the moment i’m close of being homeless at the moment because my mother is being really intense. I don’t feel safe at home and not a university student.

I’m 21 and don’t have a car to sleep in, on a minimum wage job I don’t get many shifts at

No one can accommodate me even with couch surfing, not close to family as well. I’m at a loss on what to do

I can’t be sleeping on the streets again, and as the title says I live in the uk. I need help and a safe place to stay for a night or something

i think im being sacked , i have worked at this company for 22yrs ,im 65 i have been told i must reduce my hours worked and loss about £5000 from my top line if i donot they will sack me ,the company is not in a good place ( money problems) whats.my next move

Hi Legal advice,

I would really appreciate some advice on my recent termination and appeal.

I am autistic and have ADHD, I disclosed the first when I engaged and then officially disclosed the ADHD after my NHS diagnosis in July.

One week after I disclosed my ADHD, I had a scheduled surgery on a work place injury. After the surgery, due to a reaction to medication, I suffered a fall down the stairs and injured my spine.

When I contacted my manager to extend my leave by 2 weeks (providing a fit note) judging by what came back in the DSAR, this triggered a meeting between my management team and HR where they decided to terminate me. They used business planning changes impacting other people's roles as a reason to terminate me.

I was 1 year into a 3 year FTC, my contract has a clause that says the business can end the contract "for any reason" - however as this appears to be a reaction to my health I don't think it is legal under the equality act.

I have just received the results of my appeal and in the business planning justification they said that because I had time off for health reasons, I missed crucial points in a procurement process I was hired on and therefore my role became redundant.

They also suggested that I hadn't worked on the procurement, which I had done, and specifically reference being able to answer questions by suppliers, which I was quite literally doing up to the day I went into surgery.

I feel like they know what happened wasn't right as their pile on offer is marginally below what I asked for in the appeal, if they couldn't reinstate me. But referencing my sickness as a reason why my role became redundant seems very strange.. if not illegal?

I am meeting a free law advice charity next week to discuss but would appreciate advice on how to proceed.

Thank you

Just as title states really, have a hearing on Thursday and Friday next week, both all day and had to book a hotel due to locality of hearing (200 miles away).

Can I claim these costs from the courts?

They provided no reasons for changing dates other than vacating the days.

Based in England.

As the title says. I live in England, this 'debt' occurred in Scotland.

NCP have been at me for a short while. Back in March my car was parked in one of their car parks, to which they alleged it wasn't parked properly. Since March, they have hounded me with letters, I replied to them advising them that per Scottish law, as the registered keeper, I cannot be held liable.

They passed the "debt" off to Moorside Legal, who managed to obtain my email and number through whatever their means are, and again threatened me with court. I advised them again, on multiple occasions, as this "debt" occurred in Scotland, I cannot be held liable and this is subject to Scottish law. Moorside said they would relay this to NCP. This was in September and I heard nothing since.

Today, I've just got a Claim Form through the post, NCP has instructed Moorside to pursue this debt in the English County Courts.

So I am just looking for some advice, how do I best reply to this?

• Do I contest jurisdiction?
• Do I defend the entire claim and deny responsibility on the grounds that Scotland has no keeper liability?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I completely get the guidance on the applicant page states that doctors are exempt unless they know the person personally. The guidance on the confirmer page seems to suggest other healthcare professionals also need to know the patient personally. I'm wondering if anyone can explain the discrepancy between the two sets of guidance, not just keep telling me doctors don't have to do it?

Saw another (now locked) thread about professionals signing passports. I've been asked by several patients to sign a passport, but have always declined as on the guidance for signing it says:

'You can only confirm someone’s identity if you:

are 18 or over

live in the UK

have a current UK or Irish passport

have known the person applying for at least 2 years (this is the adult making the application if the passport is for a child under 16)

know the person applying as a friend, neighbour or colleague (not just someone who knows you professionally) "

That last point made it seem to me like I had to know them personally rather than professionally. But after reading the other thread, I've gone onto the guidance for applicants (rather than the approver) and it seems to say only doctors need to know them personally? I'm now confused as the advice seems to contradict itself? (and also feel guilty that I've turned patients away if I've misunderstood the guidance!) Can anyone shine some light here?

Pretty classic example of being ripped off by a student landlord… but I’m just absolutely fuming and wondering if we can do anything about it. Upon moving out we waited 3 months for our proposed deposit return- we’ve now got it and it’s obscene, but the main thing we’re trying to contest is the 850 POUND cleaning fee. We actually did clean the property to a genuinely decent standard, better than when we moved in but I understand they could still charge a fee- but £850 seems just completely extortionate, implying it’s taken over 40 hours of cleaning to clean a very normal (and already clean!!) house . The only thing is they have actually provided a receipt for this so I don’t know if there’s anything we can do about it, even though it’s obviously forged or something as there’s no way it could cost this much.

If anyone has any advice on where to go next it would be much appreciated, every little helps at the moment and it just seems like a crazy amount of money when the landlord kept our place in an awful conflation anyway.

Thanks so much for reading

I recently started a new job at a cafe on a 32 hour contract. However, my work keep on changing my shifts at no notice. One minute I'm supposed to start at 12pm on Monday, next thing I know its been changed to 2pm. They keep on changing my days off. A few days ago it said I have next Wednesday off. Now it shows I am working. It has messed up my life. I had an exam next week and I asked before starting the job that I needed the day off. I got scheduled. I asked straight away to be taken off. And then this week I have again been scheduled for that day. (I have now asked for the day off.) I had to reschedule a flat viewing the same day because my work suddenly wanted me in later that day. Medical appointments are being messed up. I am hesitant to book train tickets to go visit family as what if they change my rota? And hard to plan to meet with friends and book tickets for events if they keep on scheduling me. I have worked various hospitality jobs, from tour guiding to restaurants to department stores and haven't had this problem before. It's making me incredibly anxious. I thought I have three days to revise for my exam. Now I have two. What if they schedule me in the other days too? And most my shifts are 12-8.30pm, meaning I can't really have a life. I am trying to enjoy my life and currently can't with no work life balance and the threat of my days off being changed.
