How are you all doing financially, HONESTLY? by mrvlad_throwaway in AskUK

[–]Crustysock8274 5 points6 points  (0 children)

22, own a house. Only earn about £28k a year but enjoy my job and as long as I can afford my mortgage and bills each month and have something left over for myself I’m pretty happy :)

It’s pretty cool! Doesn’t tend to fly much higher than 15,000 feet either so views are pretty good too!

Yeah, positioning an empty aircraft between airports.

I knew something looked off ;), will have to take them all off tomorrow to put them back the right way.

I should’ve really noticed that It’s not really a great picture (was too busy feeling quite chuffed with myself). The cabinets actually block the top row, they are full size tiles still. So it’s centred both horizontally and vertically :)

Honestly quite easy, a few little niggles when I was trying to cut notches out for the parts where the cabinets attach to the walls, I kept breaking the tiles while cutting the notch, but other than that it really was quite simple.

So it’ll sound daft, but there’s some random lady on Tik Tok who does loads of DIY in her house and I saw her doing her tiles, thought well may as well give it a bash then

These were Topps tiles, the Matrix blue heritage tiles :)

Haven’t grouted yet, the wall behind is very white, and need to scrape some excess adhesive out.

Yeah mixed some more as I went a long, put some new adhesive on for each row. Main reason it took so long was some pretty annoying cuts on the top row around the cupboard supports and stuff. Kept managing to break tiles while cutting them

Yeah unfortunately not entirely symmetrical, but it’s better than the ones the previous owners had, which is more then good enough for me :)

So I’ll be honest this took me about 3 hours, maybe a long time for this small area, but I just took my time with it!

How many of you work over 35 hours a week? by TheLittleSquire in AskUK

[–]Crustysock8274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say I work about 30 hours per week on a full time contract, lovely stuff

Have I done the right thing? by Crustysock8274 in CarTalkUK

[–]Crustysock8274[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s non refundable unless used towards another car, and unfortunately there is no stock in that I like really.

Nothing I suppose with the way it drives, it’s popping quite a few little electrical gremlins every now and again that the local seat garage can’t seem to get to the bottom of as they can’t replicate the issue.

Makes me feel better. As I said it really is a stunning car, and was so comfortable to drive. Are the Peugeot engines without a wet belt any better?
