I think she said she was having a breakdown or psychosis at the time and she doesn't actually remember doing it or spending the cash, but work said she did. I remember when I read it first being a bit 🤨 that there didn't seem to be much evidence and that she seemed to just accept their word for it, but on the other hand we only have her side of the story.

she’s either got a really tit lawyer who’s let her plead guilty with no evidence, or she’s bullshitting.

knowing the CPS it needs to be an absolute slam dunk before she is even charged. If it was just their word against hers it would be NFA’d straight away.

problem with financial crimes is there tends to be bank records and auditable access records. If they’re saying there’s 35k missing from their accounts and 35k has been transferred into her personal accounts, then there’s no defence.

I feel seen. My child lives on pepperoni pizza, chicken nuggets and chocolate muffins. I’d be thrilled if he ate a nutritious vegetarian diet (or even a vegetable).

If you post on Mumsnet your baby can't breastfeed so you're bottle feeding you'll get you go girl fed is best

If you post that you have a child with several reasons why they only eat 4 (not particularly healthy) foods and you're looking for a multivitamin for them you'll be told ways to force them to eat (yeah right!) and how terrible you are as a parent and how spoilt your child is.

In an ideal world all parents would feed their child an amazing, varied, nutritious diet and all children would gobble it up with delight. It's not an ideal world. If a parent is doing their best I'm not judging.
 
From the AIBU to think I need a bank loan to see Santa... 🎅🎅🎅

The salaries thread is as batshit crazy as you'd expect. It seems most of the countries highest earners are all on Mumsnet. Including one lawyer, sorry, bullshitter, who earns 975k a year.

Someone is on there trying to persuade HCPs to move into industry as consultants, forgetting that most of us choose to be HCPs because we want to work with people, not earn the big bucks. I may moan about my job's crappy hours and the crappy pay, but I went into it knowing that the NHS pays a pittance and I do it for the satisfaction and reward of the role, rather than the money and prestige. (There is zero prestige in a PICU I can tell you!)

it used to really piss me off when I worked in healthcare - people seemed to assume that because I’d chosen that field it was some sort of heartwarming vocation and the low pay was fine because the job was reward enough. I remember going to a radio station staff awards night with a friend and people saying tit like “that’s so worthy” when they found out what I did.

no. I chose the job because I happen to be good at it. The low wages are why I left. Part of the reason the nhs is falling apart is the staff aren’t valued. Better pay and more staff and I reckon that would fix a lot of the issues.

I'm 12 years post qualifying and still earn a pittance. My unit is always understaffed and it's hard to recruit for.
There was a thread about working with violent people on MN the other day, and it was all HCPs who work in mental health. We are not paid enough for that!

Well if they didn’t waste vast sums of money they could pay the staff.
