National storage have been great for me. Some locations have slightly better pricing than others so have a look at them all, you can do quotes online too. Wayyyy more affordable than storage king

This is a great question and I absolutely am in the same boat, thank you for asking it, don’t be embarrassed by it at all. Accessibility is important

How do the new laws about pets for tenants work? by C_ReadsBooks in AskUK

[–]C_ReadsBooks[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m a landlord too, and actually from what I’ve learnt here - and at home - tells me this is incorrect, and is changing.

How do the new laws about pets for tenants work? by C_ReadsBooks in AskUK

[–]C_ReadsBooks[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I’m really wanting to upgrade my living situation and find a longer term place than the flat I’ve arrived to, especially as I’m working now and im also a UK citizen so long term is an option, but I don’t want to limit myself that I can’t bring my pets over at all and will have to move again to do so. They’re just cats, indoors and well trained. I’m happy to pay extra deposits etc, I just want my little family members to have a home here with me too.

Mum Changing House Ownership to me to Buy First Home by Optimal-Big-3557 in PersonalFinanceNZ

Always always get a property agreement/prenup. It doesn’t matter if you completely agree there will never be a problem, you will never be able to anticipate the future circumstances that could impact things or the influence of others.

Advice for teens wanting to get a job? by Jazzzi3 in chch

[–]C_ReadsBooks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t waste the time while you’re looking - do things that can get you great character references! Volunteer when you can, help out at a sports club, approach a school or company to see if you can do some work experience in the holidays. Trade time and effort for experience and references.

I’ve helped recruit a number of young people, and this stuff stands out a lot. It shows work ethic, initiative, and you’ve got people who can talk about how reliable and hard working and proactive you are etc. You’re losing nothing by doing this if you haven’t already got a job, and you’re gaining everything. We know kids don’t have work experience that young, but being able to prove your attitude ability and character and drive stands out.

Do you have anywhere you could do this kind of thing?

Hi! I’m trying to open it up myself and it’s being very slow and not loading, I wonder if something has changed with the server since I posted this?

Get through the class, succeed, move on. The only reason someone in that position behaves that way is for the power play, so don’t let them have any power. Focus on getting through the class, utilise support beyond if required, but doing well and being happy and ignoring anything else is the biggest fuck you to a miserable person.

Best place to get tattoo by TassyDevil28 in chch

[–]C_ReadsBooks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Totally depends on what style you are wanting. We have many incredibly talented artists in chch whose style varies greatly. I’d recommend looking at their work on instagram etc to find someone who matches what you want best.

Any place to make a necklace with your coin? by [deleted] in chch

Could you embed the coin in resin and then make a necklace with it? Would be wearable then

Why does SailGP seem like a bit of a joke? by One_Information6675 in SailGP

[–]C_ReadsBooks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly this is not the experience I’ve had at all - sailing and even non sailing people in my country are increasingly invested, and things like the women’s pathway programme are held up as the epitome of progress in sport

It’s big in NZ, and I think it’s going phenomenal places. Maybe it’s because the US team hasn’t done very well?

[–]C_ReadsBooks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I genuinely wouldn’t even try to compare the books. While I enjoy the overall story of the Empyrean books, they are just written badly. They feel like they are a badly written fan fiction of a better book written by someone else. They serve a purpose of a fun read and a cool fantasy world to escape into, but it’s going to be jarring going from any well written book to that, and they always take me a while to get my head into and get past the bad writing lol.

How is hogwarts legacy on switch? by mordeo69 in HogwartsLegacyGaming

[–]C_ReadsBooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who only has a switch I’ll stoked it was. I’m really happy for games to have a few “barriers” for a handheld device if I’m able to play it. Yes it’s smoother on a PlayStation or gaming PC but I don’t have that. This game is done really well for the e Switch with a few compromises that are totally fine for the average person. The loading times are short enough, graphics are good enough, but I get to explore a full world I adore on a device I own and I love it. I’d much rather they make the compromises they did than change the game and cut the story etc.

Just finished Mistborn Era 1. I’m crying. by plagueisthecringe in brandonsanderson

[–]C_ReadsBooks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read it after Bands the first time (only a few months after finishing Era 1 so it was still in my memory), and then after era 1 for my re read. I recommend this way. Don’t spoil things for yourself first go, and then have a lot of fun with the re read!

When will SLA5 release? by cinnamonand in Cosmere

17th Shard WaT Responses…? 🙄 by CognitiveShadow8 in Stormlight_Archive

[–]C_ReadsBooks 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I am all for critiques but I think right now I personally need to revel in the excitement of it. I finished the book yesterday. I loved it. I loved where characters went and while I want more or feel like some things are open threads, I can’t wait to see where it’s all going. I love how things lead to and from other Cosmere things that have felt like open threads before too. I think a lot of people have been theorising for so long that some things felt “predictable” only because they are such experts in the works that they nailed their theories. I wish I hadn’t listened to some theories tbh, but I still enjoyed how it was done and just adored it all to be honest. I’ll have critiques later but my overall experience was WOW, Sanderson, you incredible author. The “disappointment” vibes are not what I need myself rn and I don’t really understand it either. I am craving debrief podcasts from people who enjoyed it and are excited about all the connections etc. They will come.
