  • how to remove glue from rocks and minerals?

    hi

    I bought some minerals from ebay and the buyer failed to tell me that these had previously been glued to card/paper, They have a very hard clue (possibly super glue) on them that still contains the ripped card on it, i would really like to know how to remove this glue if possible, the minerals are: Rose quartz, Adventurine, Peacock Ore, Amazonite and Chakopyrite. any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

  • what is classed as reasonable overtime UK?

    I am a deputy store manager for poundstretcher, I only get £14000 and my contract says that i must work a minimum of 40 hours per week and any reasonable unpaid overtime. Since i have been there (2 years) i have had 3 periods of having to be the holding manager with no extra pay for 3 months, meaning i was working 67 hour weeks still for my £14k and even when we have had a manager i have been put on the rota for 50 - 60 hours a week, this is now getting beyond a joke as im giving them im giving them around 2 weeks free every month.

    I have asked for my salary to be reviewed, with no luck.

    So can i refuse to do this what i call excessive overtime. don't get me wrong i am happy to do the odd hour or two a day that's needed but to be rota'd to do 20 hours for free I think is a bit of a piss take. Im working for N.M.W like this.

    what are my right on this or shall i just find a new job??

  • help needed for anxiety and death?

    hello i have been dealing with anxiety for a while now and i have symptoms everyday, i have triggers i can not escape from so have 24/7 lightheaded, dizzy etc ect.......

    my question is about anxiety levels and if there is a peak that cant be passed??

    my reason is that my father died a few months ago and my step mum died yesterday but still nothing has effected me at all its not that accept it hasn't happened but i feel nothing and either im heartless or im not human, OR my anxiety is at its limit and it cant get worse so as i already feel like rubbish every minute of the day and i possibly have no room left to care about this,

    i used to be quite an emotional person but now nothing bothers me im emotionally numb.

    so what do you think am i sick and heartless or just possibly can not feel anything due to being already full??

  • debt collectors, what can they actually do?

    so i have a debt collector coming to my home on friday. (NOT A BAILIFF) its for a small debt that i cant afford to pay me and my wife our unemployed, we have a 2 year old so really have no money, we have the basics needed to survive, i have recently become self employed as a photographer but have not had any work from it yet, so can they take anything that i need for Business ie... camera,s lenses, lighting kits, laptops, PCs.

    also if i don't open the door can he make his way in???

    Im really not bothered about paying it as i dont have any money and my family come first as we need to eat.

    we have about £15 spare a week and when i have filled in a money in/out form and include all the debt that i dont pay i would be - £300 a week,

    we live in a council house, no car, no assets, no savings.

    how can we get out of paying this or can i tell him if he stops sending me a letter every other day and phoning me 1,000,000 times a day i will pay him £1 a week as that is an affordable amount???

  • why has my dads death not really affected me?

    hi everyone, im a little worried that my dad dies last week and i really did love him and i was there with him for his last days, he died of lung and bone cancer and a brain tumor, he was in a massive amount of pain but would only take paracetamol for it as he was trying to not let on he was in pain, I knew he was dieing for about a year but i have been suffering from GAD, my problem is that his death does not seem to bother me, even though i know it does bother me i cant show it emotionally, i have tried to have a cry (silly as that sounds) but i cant, im emotionally numb and worried that i might have a deeper problem than i once thought, im 24 and i have been suffering from depression and GAD on and off for years, i live in norfolk in the uk and the mental health list is years long and i know i wont be bale to see a councilor for a long long time, im just worried that i might be very mentally ill or maybe not mentally sane.. is this normal or am i just loosing control of my self? has anyone else ever felt like this?

  • i have been sacked from CURRYS electrical for a drop in performance and have appealed what do i do next?

    i had a small drop in performance due to being stressed and depresed due to a new store manager that came to our store, for no reason he started bullying me and victimizing me and eventualy when he reallised he had got me right down and depressed and my figuers have dropped he sacked me saying "i was incapable to do my job" baring in mind i had been with the company for 3 years before he arived. anyway at my appeal the manager who sat it said that he could not take any of the bulling into account as he did not have written evidance of it taking place so he could only base his decision on the figures he had to hand, i explaned to the manager that the figures are there because i was being bullied and if i was not being bullied then i would still be there performing so the bulling has to play a part in my eyes as its the root of the problem, there are 4 counts of victimization and one the reginal manger had to deal with personaly which was this manager refusing me paternity leave even though its my legal right he said he would terminate my contract if i took it, he also sacked me imediatly with out notice, (even though he said with notice) head office did not pay me untill i hassled them than the manager said he pressed the wrong button (yeah ok), so my appeal has come back and they are standing there ground so WHAT DO I DO KNOW BECAUSE THIS IS NOT FAIR.
