"Give up your room, have a sofa bed and don't be so selfish," penned a third. How can I get a council house? To apply for a council home, you need to fill out and hand in an application to your local authority. To find your local authority, simply use the Government's council locator tool on its website. Once you have access to your local council's website, it should offer you guidelines on how to complete your application. After applying, you'll most likely have to join a waiting list. Bear in mind, even if you are put on a waiting list, this doesn't guarantee you a council house offer. Your council should also offer you advice on how to stay in your current home and solve any issues you might have, such as problems with a private landlord or mortgage. You are eligible to apply for council housing if you are a British citizen living in the UK providing have not lived abroad recently. Each council has its own local rules about who qualifies to go on the housing register in its area, but it is based on "points" or a "banding" system. For example, you're likely to be offered housing first if you: are homeless live in cramped conditions have a medical condition made worse by your current home are seeking to escape domestic violence Once you are high enough on a council's waiting list, it will contact you when a property is available. Some councils let people apply at the age of 18, while others let you apply even sooner at 16-year-olds. EU workers and their families and refugees may also be eligible. A council house is reached through a points system, so depending on your housing needs, you may be considered low priority. The council will contact you about any available property once you are high enough on the waiting list. There is no limit on how long you can expect to be on the waiting list. Meanwhile, others were much more supportive, a fourth said: "Good idea, it's important to have some time alone before baby gets here, enjoy." "Looks perfect to me? I don't understand the big deal,' claimed a fifth Someone else added: "For 3 weeks crack on. Siblings sharing isn't going to affect them in any kind of way. Especially so young. It's not permanent and they're not in their teens!"

Terri Griffiths, from the UK, revealed she had managed to lose a massive two stone in just two months with the weight loss jab.

In the first picture, Terri looked noticeably bigger, but in just a couple of months, her weight had dropped significantly. In the comments, she revealed that she had taken 2.5mg of the fat loss drug in the initial two months to achieve her results. Now in week nine, she was told to up her dosage to 5mg but had decided to aim lower with 3.75mg. Advertisement The weight loss hasn't just helped Terri feel better about her body; it's also made a massive impact on her mood. She revealed: "Two stone down, depressed and unhappy, to finally getting my shine back." Like many medications, Mounjaro can cause unwanted side effects. One common side effect for people is that they have low energy and digestive problems making them feel sluggish. Advertisement But Terri had three rules she stuck to in order to keep it at bay. "I was feeling sluggish until I started to make sure I eat my calories, drink my water and take my vitamins," she added. 3 Terri also revealed her tips to avoid negative side effects Credit: Tiktok/@xxterrigriffithxx I'm so happy with my Mounjaro body after dropping 4 stone but there's a side effect I hate & trolls say I 'cheated' For those with constipation, a side effect from the drug she recommended Wellgard Gutstar.

Advertisement What to do if you lose too much weight too quickly whilst on Mounjaro IF you're losing too much weight too quickly while on Mounjaro, it's important to take action to avoid potential health risks like muscle loss, malnutrition, dehydration, and fatigue. Here's what you can do: Evaluate Your Caloric Intake Mounjaro reduces appetite, which can make it easy to eat too little. If you're losing weight too fast (more than two to three lbs per week after the initial adjustment period), try: Tracking your food intake to ensure you're eating enough calories (apps like MyFitnessPal can help). Increasing protein intake to preserve muscle mass (aim for 0.6–1g per pound of body weight). Adding healthy fats and complex carbs (e.g., avocados, nuts, whole grains) for balanced energy. Adjust Your Dosage (With Doctor's Approval) If your weight loss is too rapid or causing side effects, your doctor may: Pause dose increases or lower your dosage. Adjust your treatment plan to stabilise your weight loss. Strength Training & Exercise To prevent muscle loss: Incorporate resistance training at least two to three times per week. Stay active with low-impact exercises like walking or yoga. Hydrate & Manage Electrolytes Drink enough water (Mounjaro can reduce thirst). Electrolytes matter - Consider adding magnesium, sodium, and potassium if you feel weak or fatigued. Monitor for Malnutrition & Deficiencies Rapid weight loss can cause vitamin/mineral deficiencies (especially B12, iron, and electrolytes). If you experience: Fatigue, hair loss, or dizziness, ask your doctor about supplements. Consider Further Medical Guidance If your weight loss is excessive or causing health concerns, speak with your healthcare provider. They might adjust your dosage, diet, or exercise plan to help stabilise your weight loss. One person wrote: "I'm on week 17 and I haven't even lost 2st yet." Another commented: "I don't know how, I'm almost 6 weeks and did not lose anything." "That's amazing. I start my mounjaro journey on Monday. I hope I have similar results," penned a third. Meanwhile a fourth said: "Starting mine Sunday. Feeling nervous but mostly excited to see the change. You look incredible. Well done." Advertisement "This is the type of inspiration I love to see. I'm starting on Mounjaro next month and can't wait to see some results, hopefully like yours,' claimed a fifth Someone else added: "I've been on Mounjaro for 11 weeks and I have 3lbs loss.. that's it.

Common side effects of injections such as Ozempic include: Nausea : This is the most commonly reported side effect, especially when first starting the medication. It often decreases over time as your body adjusts. Vomiting : Can occur, often in conjunction with nausea. Diarrhea : Some people experience gastrointestinal upset. Constipation : Some individuals may also experience constipation. Stomach pain or discomfort : Some people may experience abdominal pain or discomfort. Reduced appetite : This is often a desired effect for people using Ozempic for weight loss. Indigestion : Can cause a feeling of bloating or discomfort after eating. Serious side effects can also include: Pancreatitis : In rare cases, Ozempic may increase the risk of inflammation of the pancreas, known as pancreatitis, which can cause severe stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting. Kidney problems : There have been reports of kidney issues, including kidney failure, though this is uncommon. Thyroid tumors : There's a potential increased risk of thyroid cancer, although this risk is based on animal studies. It is not confirmed in humans, but people with a history of thyroid cancer should avoid Ozempic. Vision problems : Rapid changes in blood sugar levels may affect vision, and some people have reported blurry vision when taking Ozempic. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) : Especially if used with other medications like sulfonylureas or insulin.

American tries fish and chips for the first time and his reaction is priceless
An American living in the UK sought out his first fish and chip serving, and while he loved his battered haddock and chips, he heaped praise on one unlikely sauce Fish and chips in Britain is a culinary delight loved by millions. And it seems our American are friends are darting across the pond to sample the delicious dish for themselves. An American influencer, now living in the UK, went to the ever-popular seaside town of Brighton in West Sussex in search of "good" fish and chips. He was instead left flabbergasted with the taste of this one particular dip that's perhaps not so popular in southern England. Tiktok user Red Buss Russ, using the social handle of @redbussruss has 15.4k followers and almost 600k likes and has made a name for himself as he shares his opinions after trying British staples. In the one-minute video, Russ films himself with his partner sitting outside a fish and chip parlour where he opted for a battered haddock with chips, complete with tartare sauce. His partner went for a meat pie with thick gravy and chips. After the pair had been served, Russ was shocked about the size of the fish, describing it as 'massive'. He said: "It smelled really good... And its taste, dang! That was some good fish. It was a strong blend of flavours, but it was very satisfying and crispy. The haddock tasted amazing. The chips were nicely done, too." Full of compliments, it appeared Russ was well and truly bowled over by his first taste of the British delicacy. He dubbed his experience a generous nine out of 10 - but one sauce caught him completely off-guard. That was his partner's gravy. "My god, it was the best gravy I'd ever tasted in my life... It's not an exaggeration," he said. Gravy is not an uncommon sauce to dip chips into, but it's more popular in northern towns and cities. Some people opt to drench their entire dish in the meaty condiment, while others prefer it on the side. Typically associated with a roast dinner, gravy has pushed through the ranks in recent decades with fast-food giant KFC offering it as a side dish to customers. Russ concluded his trip to Brighton with a Mr Whippy and a chocolate flake, which he gave a 10 out of 10. Coming from the States, Russ' videos focus on trying British delicacies, from the famous M&S sandwiches to Greggs pastries and other supermarket goodies. His latest video trying the fish and chips has accumulated 16.1k views at the time of publishing. Similarly, in another story published by the Mirror, Russ tried Gregg's cheese and onion bake, chicken bake, steak bake and the iconic sausage roll for the first time. Russ described its "nice, creamy filling" and hailed the "bread" for being "nice and flaky." He said: "I really enjoyed that, it was decently filling," giving it a solid seven out of 10.
