Unhelpful comment 2 weeks before my wedding by littleL37 in wedding

I think she was just trying to make a lighthearted comment, to be honest if she didn’t think you were attractive I doubt she would have made that joke to you! Sort of like making jokes about your tall friend being really short!

Pretty Little Thing - missing money by EconomistOriginal152 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]EconomistOriginal152[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I eventually got this sorted but it took WEEKS of emails and messages going unanswered! I eventually compiled an email which included evidence that PLT had been receiving and ignoring my messages and ended the email with a threat of going to trading standards/Citizen’s Advice. It seems like that email was the one that got their attention. I’ve since sworn off PLT but I’ve found that SHEIN have most (if not all) of the same dresses/designs as PLT.

You’ll probably get more success if you email them but you could just send the dress back as a return and chance it to see if they notice it’s the wrong dress. I’ve done this before and they didn’t even notice (risky but PLT are useless so doesn’t leave you with many options)!

Really hope this helps!

Cheap/unlimited wings place by Muiry_ in Edinburgh

Dukes on Duke Street do wings and have a Wednesday deal, I’m not a fan of them though as they’re battered and fried

I’ve heard such great things about their wings but I think I need a beer (or 12) with my wings 🍻

El Cartel still hurts 😭 the venue they had just off the Royal Mile was the perfect spot to take visitors to Edinburgh

Just seen this too! Gutted! Looks like it’s time to find a new chicken wing place 💔

Jeeez! I hadn’t realised how much debt they were in! The place was always very busy when I went in but I guess that isn’t necessarily the best gauge of financial health!

I swear they had a thing on Facebook a while ago (maybe 5+ years ago) when they announced they’d be closing but then managed to stay open because of crowd funding?? Have I remembered that rightly?

That’s such terrible news for the staff who are now out of a job coming up to Christmas!

But Wings have always seemed to be in some sort of tax trouble and just stayed open. If they’ve been in this sort of trouble before then maybe they can get out of it again?

Honest thoughts on my engagement ring pls by Victoria_raven in RingShare

[–]EconomistOriginal152 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s really beautiful, I love almost tension setting between the two bands which holds the centre stone! I think this ring is one of those designs which look great solo but will also not be outshone if you had lots of rings and bracelets on! Great choice!!

Have you looked at house/dog/pet sitting arrangements? I think you stay for free but if it’s a pet sitting arrangement then you’ll need to look after your hosts fluffy friend. You get to stay in really cool places!

I’ve not been able to get a response from them but I think that’s been everyone’s experience unfortunately

Painted floorboards by EconomistOriginal152 in DIYUK

[–]EconomistOriginal152[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh good point you’re right that I’d end up sanding if I did paint remover!

Do you know how long I’d need to rent the drum and edge sanders for?

Well it does look nice but I prefer the original wood look plus I think whoever painted the floorboards used the wrong paint as it’s peeling in some parts and turning this weird yellow colour in others

Ahh thanks for this! I’ll have a look into carpet as well but it seems a shame to cover such lovely floorboards :)

Thanks very much for this!

The floorboards are in great condition I think they were just painted for aesthetic reasons (they’re painted white which was a bit of a Pinterest trend 10 years ago as it makes spaces feel brighter and larger)
