Hot-pant wedding dress looks like underwear!

Hahaha! Valerie's trying on the strangest outfits. Bit of light relief!

LIZS · 30/11/2021 14:05

Bo peep!

doctorsnoddy · 30/11/2021 14:06

As if Al would leave surgery to go to a park!

Are they in the bridal section of a charity shop? And it's very convenient that they happen to fit. Grin.

Completely OT but DIL and I visited the bridal section of our local charity shop, it was more expensive than the proper bridal shop!!!

A second hand wedding dress shop has recently opened up on our High Street. I'd love to spend an afternoon trying on all the dresses!

LIZS · 30/11/2021 14:12

Oops it has gone viral

Oh dear. Poor Luca.

The boiler man has turned up so I missed a bit.

Didn't take Connor long to try and mess things u for Luca, did it? Though, wouldn't his medical history have come up when he got the job? Not that that excuses Connor's reaction.

Raahh · 30/11/2021 14:19

Killed I can almost see how that can happen, expensive dresses in the charity shop.
I always wondered what to do with my dress- but as I am only 4ft 8, and had had 2 children by the time I got married- my dress probably wouldn't fit anyway else without adding several feet to the bottomGrin.

So, it lives in a bag in the wardrobe. Sad

Raahh Presumably he is on treatment meaning he has undetectable viral load so poses no threat to his patients

Is it me, or is Doctors getting more batty?

It was mad. They were beautiful dresses but some were well over £2k. I think we were expecting cheap and second hand but most seemed to be new and designer. Anyway, she's sorted now. Ironically the first dress we looked at. I rented mine when we got married. We had just bought a house and were beyond skint.
Hope you're toasty warm now anyway.

Re Luca. It's HIV something that would need declaring to an employer? I've been pondering this whilst cleaning the bathroom.

I can't think that HIV is something that you can get away with not declaring if you are a health care professional. I do feel for Luca though, what a shame. Looking forward to learning a bit more about Makeada's infidelity tomorrow

Oh- I can definitely see that Grin.

I wonder what Val has in store for Al though?

please let him be a ring bearer dressed as a cat.

Do you need a ring, if you are marrying yourself?

So many questions...

Grin.

I was wondering about Luca too and I’ve just found this on the NHS site about HIV, it mentions that healthcare professionals.

“People with HIV are protected under the Equality Act (2010).

There's no legal obligation to tell your employer you have HIV, unless you have a frontline job in the armed forces or work in a healthcare role where you perform invasive procedures.

If you work in a healthcare role, you'll need to be monitored by your occupational health team and HIV doctor to ensure you're not putting yourself and patients at risk of infection.

The Equality Act 2010 also places restrictions on the health questions employers can ask during a job application process.

Employers are allowed to ask health questions only after an offer of employment has been made to help them decide whether you can carry out tasks essential for the job.

If you're asked a question you think is not allowed under the Equality Act 2010, you can tell the employer or the Equality and Human Rights Commission. The GOV.UK website has more information about questions an employer can ask about health and disability.

If you're an employee with HIV, you may worry that your HIV status will become public knowledge, or you'll be discriminated against if you tell your employer.

On the other hand, if your boss is supportive, telling them may make it easier for adjustments to be made to your workload or for you to have time off.”

KilledByWitches · 30/11/2021 17:03

Thats interesting @MadisonAvenue , I did think you probably didn't have to divulge but the health setting puts a different perspective on it. Good to know it is protected.

Slightly OT, re Sids skydive last week. He's got a YouTube channel with his adventures on it. I bet he was annoyed at having to go tandem though 😂

I was watching with DH and explaining that in reality you get a sexual health check at a specialist clinic and not your at your GPs.
I then went on to say about home swabbing and blood tests (using a finger lancet ) for STI s. It's all mostly done remotely and by phone appointment.
I was just about to say about HIV and then thought I'd add that none of this applied to me, I just know too much information not relevant to meGrin

smallandimperfectlyformed · 30/11/2021 21:16

TDogsInHats years ago I did a training course on HIV and they gave us loads of freebies - condoms, vaginal dams, all sorts. My friend had mentioned maybe wanting to work in sexual health nursing but the training was on his day off so I saved all of the literature and freebies for him. My husband at the time never really was interested in my job so I didn't tell him about it. Then he found this folder and looked at me with a lot of suspicion!! Thankfully he wasn't ridiculous so did accept my explanation Smile
