Yesterday, someone from social services turned up at my house(England) unannounced for an urgent child welfare check along with 2 police officers. I explained to her that there is a mistake, neither my husband or I have children (not together or separately, not biologically, not adopted, fostered, or step- our household has zero children associated with it). She told me they had received a report that our 3 children are neglected/abused. They don't leave our house or go to school, they don't have access to food, we hit them- there was a very long list. She demanded to see the children. I again explained that there are no children in the household and she tried to push past me- I told her she was not permitted to come in. She said I had to allow my children to be checked. The police officers explained that I had to let them come in to do a welfare check on my kids. I explained again that there are no children and agreed that on

Half of my conversations with colleagues this week have meandered towards the fact that they are feeling really anxious, or really down. I forced myself to the pub last night, just to talk to someone who isn’t in my family or workplace. Glad I did it, I needed to just be around people. Are you doing alright? What are you doing to keep your head right? submitted by /u/Comprehensive_You42 to r/CasualUK [link] [comments]

I've been off sick from work since the end of October. I don't know when I'm going to be back. I am a person who is usually very busy - I have a varied mid-level job, I'm studying part-time, and I have several hobbies and commitments outside of work. It's getting to the point now where I am starting to go a litte stir crazy. I'm spending most of my time in bed but I have a very busy brain. Usually, when I'm well, I do several things at once, e.g. read while watching a film. Things I cannot do: * Watch TV/DVDs etc * Drive anywhere (I can't really get out and about, no public transport where I live) * Read prose e.g. novels or magazines * Anything physically demanding * Use my laptop for longer than about 45 mins Things I can do: * Listen to podcasts/audiobooks * Walk a short distance (0.4 miles so far) * Knit * Write * Read poetry * Use my phone (e.g. ordering pointless crap online) D
