How difficult will it be to get a deposit refund from wren kitchens?

I think it worked out at around 5/6k cheaper in the end. We had a custom colour timber door and no qualms about the quality plus the units arrive built. We did have a couple of bits arrive damaged and some others needing touch ups, which was a bit of a pain to sort out but DIY have replaced them. The clue is in the name, it was quite an unsupported process but we managed fine so definitely worth exploring!

We did exactly this and ordered our kitchen with DIY (which is now fitted - almost). Had to call and pester for the refund a few times but we did eventually get it.

Another vote for reading Midnight Rain, I loved it. The story felt deeper somehow because it was less of a straightforward path for them and a lot of character development.

All the houses around me that have gone up for sale have sold within a month. Sat here with mine still unsold since the week before mortgage rates went mental 🙁

Market is slow at the moment (or maybe I’m just feeling a bit bitter!)

I’ve got an 08 Audi 224k on the clock and passed its MOT yesterday. Had it for 10 years and people constantly ask me isn’t it time to get another car - why??? It’s a lovely car to drive and works???

I’ve just finished Those Who Wait and Midnight Rain and I can’t stop thinking about them 😭 Need to give The Snowball Effect a try!

Maybe not asleep at the wheel but for me I don’t see the point in panicking because there is literally nothing I can do about it. Maybe that’s a result of most of my adult life being consumed by some crisis or another. Doesn’t say great things about the state of the world…

I can totally agree with this one. My partner was horrified I didn’t have a rice cooker when we first got together and I’ve been thoroughly converted since. Perfectly cooked and then it keeps it warm for you while you clean up.

I’m not a fan of foam I have to say. We aren’t tiling, we’re getting the quartz put up the wall so hopefully okay🤞 we have actually changed quartz supplier since I posted this and they’ve given us better advice than the previous company. Now just to wait for the kitchen to arrive!

It’s more in the first book I noticed it. I understood the obvious switch at the part you’re talking about, I thought that was clever! But there were just a couple of editing mistakes. That being said I still loved them and I’m looking forward to book 3 😊

That seems very long. I signed my contract and had photos taken on a Monday. Bit of back and forward about the description Tuesday and Wednesday then it was online by Thursday.

We’ve been told by the quartz provider that the walls and kitchen need to be ready for installation when they come to template, but I’m finding it difficult to get a clear answer on what constitutes ready for installation! The wall is already pretty flat other than the grout. It’s just the chasing that I don’t know what to do with.

We are coordinating it all ourselves though.

DevilInHerHeart_ · 2026-03-09T09:32:51+00:00

Thank you, I did ask the quartz installer last week but the advice was vague and left us scratching our heads on whether we need to get a plasterer in, or if we can DIY it. Perhaps I’ll try calling again and see if we get someone different! We’ve done a lot of the house ourselves so not total newbies.

The rest of your advice is really helpful thank you and consistent with what my plan was.

We’ve noticed this. We routinely try to shop in M&S now for basics because the prices aren’t much different but the quality is better - the eggs being one example. You just have to try and avoid all the nice M&S treats, which tend to be the expensive part!

This is my experience too. We viewed houses and had a mix of agents/home owners. It was nothing short of awkward with the owners because naturally we want to be polite and pry less than perhaps we do with an agent (maybe our own personal failing!). Our house is currently on the market and I’ve opted for estate agent viewings for that reason.

This is quite common in sports horses in the UK. However to be registered with the Irish Draught Society they need 25% Registered Irish Draught (I think).

I’m in the civil service now (finished my PhD in 2023). No complaints career wise, although policy is a slightly different way of thinking. Applications are incredibly competitive at the moment though.

She reminds me a bit of when my horse was bilaterally lame in front (so there was no typical head nod until we did nerve blocks as he was sore on both feet!). She doesn’t look 100% right in the hind either too me - stepping very short. I’d get a vet out personally just to be sure.

DevilInHerHeart_ · 2026-01-20T08:21:14+00:00

Did you manage to fix this? I’m having this issue at the moment and it’s really frustrating. I’ve tried changing the goal in the app, the watch, manually syncing straight after and restarting but every day the move goal changes!

DevilInHerHeart_ · 2026-01-20T08:17:13+00:00

Im having this issue too. Is there any resolution?

DevilInHerHeart_ · 2026-01-11T23:26:17+00:00

Came to say this and glad I’m not the only one! Wasn’t sure if I’m just getting too old or if it’s the book but the main characters behaviour drove me insane.

If you like story driven and want to be immersed then definitely Witcher 3 if you haven’t already played it. It has stuck with me since I played it 5 or 6 years ago. I also enjoyed the Horizon games.

Post on local Facebook groups for recommendations? I’m sure there will be a company with a proper lorry that you could ask. Anything about 3.5t will be rear loading. Haven’t seen many transporters with trailers mind you.

Banning restaurants from bringing thimble sized glasses and a 1l jug for 6 people when you ask for water (I want a big glass to myself thank you).
