    ppl dont always need advice. sometimes all they rly need is a hand to hold. an ear to listen. and a heart to understand them. 🧸

    I was meant to have a Knus appointment but no one answered, its things like that which are meant to be simple but aren't. Im meant to just be able to go on and go on my chat but that didn't happen. I got the right day and time. I spent a bit pre planning what I wanted to say and then its unanswered, Ive not been told. My peer on there is amazing and I get these are volunteers and I get things come up but more reliability and communication would go great. It was my first chat in a while with Knus and I was sat here waiting patiently all day.

    @Redemption That sounds crushing redemption, to be planning and preparing all day, only for them to no show. They should have given you advanced warning, and they should have given you and apology and explanation if they couldn't keep that appointment. This isn't on you, but on them. Volunteers or not, at least an email warning would be a basic.

    Yh its fustrating bro but hopefully they will contact back to rearrange @DonnerKebab . Can I ask about what happened with that interview you were meant to have too, did you rearrange it?

    @Redemption yeah. i got it rescheduled. No reason was given for the rescheduling which was a bit annoying, just a simple sorry about that. I thought it went okay though, but i don't think i got it, but at least i got through to the interview stage so that's good.

    Have they Knus sent you an email update yet about any of them being no shows?

    Glad you got it in the end @DonnerKebab


    No they haven't yet, my counselling got cut off too so fustrating, the page reloaded and I couldn’t get back on my session its so stressful this stuff just little things especially as its seeking support, tbf i went on another app so partly my fault for counselling.

    @Redemption still, even then you should be able to go back onto it. A simple reload isn't leaving the session. That's really not on you redemption. A few moments disconnect isn't just cause for them to stop the counselling session at all.

    @toffuna101 i'm just gonna pop the E-Book link here for you just in case. I know it's a rental for 180 days, not a permanent purchase, but it's instant access I think, for your mock preparations where time is of the essence, and waiting several weeks for delivery is too long.

    yeah, i got lifetime access since its only £20.49 for it. and i might need it for next year so thats why i got that instead of it for 180 days or for 1 year. and i got it instantly so thats good. now i can actually revise. thank you so much @DonnerKebab

    @DonnerKebab its not my counsellers fault either its just technology, its frustrating when it goes wrong but great when it actually works. We actually rely on it so much.

    @Redemption i know how frustrating it must be to be trying to reach out for support, and for things to go wrong. Knus, then this, after a horrible week last week, it would make anybody overwhelmed. I'm here for you bro if you want to chat some more. I might not be able to fix things, but i'm here to listen mate and offer you what support and kind words i can.

    @eylah thanks eylah. You're really are the kindest soul ever. And you are still the slightly better twat of the twat duo btw, just in case you forgot. it's scientific fact, my favourite twat in the whole wide world <3

    @toffuna101 awesome stuff. It might be worth cancelling the other book delivery then since you've got a permenent copy now, and hopefully, you can get on with the revision and smash it. We're all rooting for you toffuna. best of luck with it.

    to be fair i could just have the physical copy too just in case because for vitalsource when i signed up to it i just used my google account therefore i cant really access it on a school computer because it may be against the digital learner agreement that i signed when i enrolled into the college so i wont cancel the order. thank you for wishing me luck.

    btw i did like half an hour's worth of revision before realising that i cant actually read my own handwriting lol. @DonnerKebab

    Im fucked, I went to have my dinner, which was a burger, and noticed it wasn’t fully pink but definitely had pink in it. Stupidly, I ate half to three-quarters of it, already regretting it.

    @Redemption chances are it's just a rarely done burger. Beef can be cooked rare, and provided it's prepared and stored hygienically, so you should be okay. If your feeling ill or anything and throwing up, that's when you know it's food poisoning bro.

    @Redemption it's a waiting game mate. Eventually, you'll get that breakthrough, and everything else will fall into place for you when you do. Just don't give up on that hope, cause it will happen one day.
