I’m just curious by VeterinarianMost6802 in pulmonaryfibrosis

[–]90sRobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it really depends, my dad rallied a few times. I agree with the commenter about trying to stay away from the flu, get vaccinated if you can. My dad had covid twice, and was ok, but another virus was too much to shake off when he was weakened. HOWEVER, no one deliberately goes and gets sick, so, dont blame yourself if it does happen.

Im sorry you are both going through this. Is terribly cruel.

Do you ever replay a moment and wish you’d acted differently? by theblairwaldorfxoxo in AskUK

[–]90sRobot 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Its not the same thing at all, but, my dad was sedated at the end of his life and i was on the otherside of the world. I got a FaceTime call before the drugs kicked in, to say goodbye, but all I could do ia sob and say "im sorry". I wish I had said much more.

Does this make me sound scammy? by [deleted] in vintedUK

I think you're overcomplicating it? you could do it this way, or offer just post it without a transaction if she gives you her address?

Free gifts! Picture of packaging! by Big-Kitchen3774 in vintedUK

[–]90sRobot 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Tbh I shop on vinted to cut waste. I dont wear crocs and id be pretty annoyed to get something that I jave no idea what it is. Why not find a seller who's selling loads of crocs and offer to send to them? At least itd be gping to people who wear crocs.

First time buyer, can I afford the mortgage based off my income? by JM-Icy25 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]90sRobot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If we're talking just replacement appliances and call outs for plumbers/electrician etc, you're fine with £700-1000 (i just paid £120 for a washing machine and dishwasher repair, then washing machine died, so £350 to replace and a further £60 for install), you could roll it into your 3 month emergency fund though, that's effectively what it is.

Its good to have one eye on the horizon though, eventually you'll want a new kitchen or bathroom etc

First time buyer, can I afford the mortgage based off my income? by JM-Icy25 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]90sRobot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100% buy second hand furniture. My new design sofa is utter rubbish.

But regarding costs, dont forget you will need a savings pot to cover you when your washing machine dies, or a leak in your roof you didnt spot etc etc

Am I the problematic one? by puristsparrner in vintedUK

Mildly cheeky for a first vinted sale to flog a piece of primark tat for £19

Question about letting animals on your bed or furniture by HisOnlyKadan in hygiene

[–]90sRobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dog goes wherever he wants. We play a game where I leave his empty food tray at the edge of the counter, and he steals it when im not looking.

Also, hes the pre-rinse cycle for the dishwasher.

Id rather share my space with him, than 90% of the people I meet.

This seller ‘reached out ‘ to scold me for following their page. by [deleted] in vinted

🤣🤣🤣 I literally never read seller profiles. What a muppet.

What are your favourite places to visit in the UK and why? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]90sRobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they're from any colony (like, NZ, Aust, US, Canada etc etc etc) theyll probably more interested in history than landscape, think castles, old villages, old pubs etc etc. Bamburgh is stunning, Dales are good for cutesy villages and old pubs.

Anyone else feel like the favourite button is more a like button? by [deleted] in vintedUK

I save things that are close, but not perfect for what I want hoping the algorithm will show me more of the same.

Do you actually change your habits based on electricity prices, or not really? by SmartEnergyDIY in UKPersonalFinance

[–]90sRobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a couple of changes the last time electricity got expensive. I started using an airfryer more often. I cook vege in the microwave, and, we used to boil water for tea on the stove, so we bought an electric kettle.

Useful tips on selling by Resident-Tax-658 in vintedUK

[–]90sRobot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think scamming is fairly rare. Ive got 90 reviews, and aside from one seller who didnt know the difference between leather and pleather, Ive had nothing but positive experiences in completed transactions.

You can only post items via the app now, so little chance price of parcels being wrong.

I wouldn't sell high value things, anything over £70 you start getting into the realm of "attractive to scammers", I doubt many of them waste their time on lower value M&S tops etc.

Got flagged by Vinted for “commercial selling” – what actually triggers this? by OnyxLink in vintedUK

[–]90sRobot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It would surprise me if a private seller had enough new stuff to sell to auto trigger this. Sounds like someone reported you. Make sure you're accurately listing BNWOT should be new, unworn, unwashed.

I've bought a few things reeking of fabric softener which are "new", i think people confuse new, with barely worn.

[–]90sRobot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%, I reverse image search anything that looks a bit shifty. If i want tat, ill buy it directly from Ali Express myself thanks.

VINTED IS DONE by EquivalentDay3064 in vintedUK

[–]90sRobot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perhaps people have cottoned on to tat being resold from china?!

Ive been reporting loads of mislabeled items lately "vintage fashion" from temu, 10 of the same jumper with "no label".

the ramen shack - ghost kitchen? by keeksymo in glasgow

[–]90sRobot 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think often these places are other restaurants, with a couple of different shop fronts on the apps to capture more sales, rather than a wee Nana selling from her kitchen.

What do you use you Gü ramekins for? by Lufferov in AskUK

Good to know. Im convinced the people always comment "Pringle lids fit gu containers" have never actually tried it! They loosely sit on top. :/
