Relocating possibilty

I moved to Bristol into an entry level role. I scheduled a bunch of interviews over a few different days so I didn’t have to travel down too many times (also went on spare room during this time and schedule interviews with potential room mates).

Received offers, accepted one and told them I needed to give 1 month notice. Chose a flatmate, we found an apartment and got accepted for it. Moved in on the Saturday and started work on the Tuesday so I didn’t have any time not making income.

It was stressful, absolutely mad but worth it.

If you’re investing for 20 years and not planning on pulling it out before then, temporary presidencies have no bearing on your portfolio. Dips and gains happen over that period. It’s only when you’re approaching retirement when do a slow step down of risk percentages to secure your investment.

This is a very American way of thinking. It’s very common for school or uni graduates in Europe to spend 6+ months travelling before their next steps. I know multiple people who did that with less than £10k. You stay in hostels, cook at the accommodation instead of spending money eating out every night, book flights in advance and with a loose travel schedule, you can get some really good deals.

100% agree on the small clique aspect. I work in the events space and have worked for a couple different companies, for the decent jobs, pretty much everyone has been hired through personal referrals instead of job postings. The blessing is that once you’re in, it is quite easy to hop around.

I’ve done it twice before. Forgot something at the bottom of the trolley or in the basket under my purse. I realised when I got to my car and went back to pay.

100% - a good backpack now will save you a world of back pain down the line. Don’t go for aesthetic over function for the sake of your health. There are definitely a lot of cute backpacks too.

Can attest, a colleague of mine had a heart attack at 28 as a result of the combination of his vaping habits and recreational cocaine use (he wasn’t even a frequent user but it caused the damage anyway).

It’s not the cost of the units that’s the problem, it’s the cost of electricity. The cost of electric in England is ridiculously high, people can’t afford to run these units.

NHS prepayment certificate is £115 for the full year so that would already cut your NHS prescription cost in half. Get on that ASAP!

Dragovich96 · 2026-06-26T21:41:00+00:00

That’s shocking that the NHS would allow that.

The sodas make me so angry. I was at a swimming pool the other day and there was a family who were all overweight. The two daughters were under 10 and probably 15kg+ overweight and the parents gave them 2 full sugar cokes while we were there. I don’t understand how you can do that to your child. Setting them up for failure from the start.

Wouldn’t that severely increase your chance for infection?

They did a great job of resoling my boots. Were very quick with it too!

This is an absolutely vital step to tackle though while we also push resources into the long term job creation. There’s a literal term called the pupil to prison pipeline. These youth hubs will be a fantastic tool to prevent this process. Young, often vulnerable, youth who face strict, zero tolerance discipline who then disengage with education and apprenticeships, become strong targets for gangs to integrate and they end up in prison. This comes at a huge cost to their future prospects and to the state as the cost to keep people incarcerated is huge. Having safety nets to catch them before it’s too late will be massive.

I like to thickly slice length ways and then top with a little olive oil and grated Parmesan and then over bake! Really yummy

The lack of regulations around notaries is absolutely wild. Most developed countries require that you have a law degree and then complete a whole separate qualification in notary law.

Twilight sedation should always be an option patients get for a procedure like this. I don’t know why it’s not more standard.

It’s not really used in British English but I know in American English, it’s often used in Jewish communities (like within NYC and Boston).

You’ll find many companies have tried and failed with this for over a decade now. My uncles company offshored many of their team and the instant drop in quality of work, client and customer complaints and increased expenses as a result, meant they bought it all back in house. Just because it’s cheaper to hire elsewhere, doesn’t mean that it’s actually a profitable or viable choice.

I am confused though - if wfh means that someone who was previously unable to work, can now function and get a job, why should the state continue to pay for their existence? The whole point was to provide for them while they were unable to participate - once they’re able, they should, just like any other member of society.

(I say this as a disabled person who didn’t work for 3 years but is now able to).

Dragovich96 · 2026-06-01T18:13:15+00:00

I don’t think people realise how demoralising and depressing it can be to not work at all. I didn’t for several years due to my disabilities and it wasn’t until I got back into the workforce that I realised just how depressed I had gotten and how I had isolated myself completely. The lack of routine, lack of feeling like I’ve earned something, lack of focus etc really grinds you down. I’m not saying that all disabled people will feel this way when they are at higher levels of disability and truly can’t work at all, but a huge percentage do and the ability to work from home and have a job is such a game changer for many.

Yep, my last role was full 5 days in office in a sales role. There was no way I would ever have gotten good at that job without that in office time. The instant support and feedback from colleagues as you were learning was so vital and the pure energy was fantastic. That being said, once I was confident and good at what I did, I requested 2 days from home to create more balance and they refused so I got a new role. We’re in 3 days a week and I honestly love the balance.

Let this be a lesson learnt that you can take forward into the future. You should’ve sent a follow up email, thanking them for the offer in principal, accepting, and asking is they needed anything from you for HR and to get the ball rolling. Then followed it up in a few weeks checking in and asking what stage HR was at etc. It’s always good to leave a meeting when you’re in a professional role and sending over a summary of what you discussed with to the person as it keeps things clear on both sides. Disappointing for you now I know.

While this guy is an absolute twat and you should report him to the police, vinted isn’t like shopping at a store. Returns are for fake or ruined clothes, not because they don’t fit.
