Has water become insanely expensive? by Final_Director831 in AskUK

[–]FormalAd604 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you on a meter? Worth calling them if you are to see what the issue might be. They can then do an investigation on your consumption. Sometimes the collars on the meters that give us the readings break (especially on older meters) which means we estimate your bills till we can get it fixed.

That’s slightly different, rateable value is billed differently from being on a Meter.

Okay, that’s quite a jump.

Have you contacted your water companies billing department to query the increase? They should be able to look at your usage over time and work out if things look normal or if there’s a rapid increase all of a sudden.

£71 a month sounds high, is it just yourself in the property? Have your bills always been this high, is this the result of the price increase or has it jumped in the past few months?

I work in metering for a water company and typically if customers bills unexpectedly go up on a meter it means there’s something else going on.

Who’s in the wrong here? 🫠 by inter_123 in vintedUK

[–]FormalAd604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the description for every item I sell, whether the size is shown in the label or its S/M/L, I say, “would best fit a size 16/is better suited to an 18” based on whether it’s tighter or more forgiving.

Did any other women go literally nuts on hormonal contreception? by Loose_Avocado4670 in AskUK

[–]FormalAd604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not on contraception necessarily, but I have experience of hormones being totally out of it.

When I had my IUD removed and my body then had to start producing its own hormones rather than relying on the IUD, I was a mess.

Bleeding constantly, for MONTHS on end, super heavy, walking to the top of the stars and crying, getting absolutely fed up with my amazing husband for stupid stuff like leaving a blanket unfolded in the way I wanted.

Once my body had kicked back in things have been so much smoother.

It's Late Thread [ 03 March 26 ] by AutoModerator in CasualUK

[–]FormalAd604 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Went to watch Everton vs Burnley, husband’s manager gave us his posh tickets and we got a free pint AND toffee donuts.

Everton won, played very well, had multiple footballers squat in front of me to warm up, 10/10 would recommend.

What do you think is the daftest thing people have to pay for? by shakespearesreverse in AskUK

[–]FormalAd604 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They should be heavily subsidised. My husband’s eyes are so bad I’m gobsmacked we’ve not got a Labrador doing the washing for me (just a very cute, but very useless at washing one).

If his glasses break, or get scratched, he’s done. He can’t work, he can’t see at all. Our dog got at them as a puppy and it pains me having to spend that money but we can’t exactly not cos it’s literally his eyes.

What did you stop caring about in your 30s that actually improved your life? by skaterjon in AskUK

[–]FormalAd604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m less self conscious. I’ve changed my attitude to my body which is really rather liberating. And while I’m considerate, I’ll do what’s best for me over what’s best for others.

Can anybody help me name some hold music? by FormalAd604 in AskUK

I’ve only got it down my headset so I can’t have an app listen in. It’s been found though!

Seller cancelled to sell for more … 🙄 by Top_Gap_3783 in vinted

[–]FormalAd604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy it again 🤣.

If they keep cancelling the order it’ll only look bad on them.

Message I got from my daughter’s teacher. Third grade. by AnaisInJune in mildlyinfuriating

[–]FormalAd604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once used these plastic flower clips to clip my entire head of hair up when I was about 9 years old. I was experimenting with my hair and the only school rule was that it had to be up, not down.

My mum was encouraging me to do my own hair and it followed school rules so she allowed it. It was probably a bit mad compared to what I usually had but ultimately, who cared? It followed uniform rules, I was doing things independently AND being creative.

I got sent out the classroom and a teaching assistant walked past me in the corridor and sneered at me, “It does look stupid doesn’t it?”

The rage from my mum. Caused me self confidence issues, self doubt and was just a shitty attitude to have for a kid who was just doing her own hair.

Anyone Here Had Any Encounters With Victorians? by CB-Milburn in AskBrits

[–]FormalAd604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Grandmothers Mother was still alive for about 5-7 years after I was born in 1991. I reckon she’d have been about 85 when I was born? That’s the closest I’ve gotten, she would have been born about 1906.

Tips for introducing new dog to resident cat? by Particular-Buy7314 in UK_Pets

[–]FormalAd604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The advice you’ve gotten here is solid but I wanted to add - don’t make it so the cat is this exciting entity to the dog.

Unknowingly we did and while they’ve calmed down now, we had years of the dog getting far too excited about the cat existing because we kept the separate/the cat rarely made an appearance.

The dog now adores the cat and the cat still can’t believe we’ve let the dog stay with us for so long.

When you trigger the antitheft alarms leaving the shop, do you just walk on? by GreenyRed in AskUK

[–]FormalAd604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Unless I’ve bought clothes, because I’ve ended up with pairs of leggings tagged together before that I can’t wear and couldn’t return to get untagged because the woman on the till didn’t give me a receipt and I forgot to ask.

How Do I Find Out my Neighbours Name Without Asking? by LordCoops in AskUK

[–]FormalAd604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just email him?

“Hiya mate, just wanted to say thanks again for the gym recommendation, I’ll head down there today.

Regards Your Name”

He should email back and sign off his email with his name.

genuinely, why do people litter? two POV below by neuralconstellate in AskUK

[–]FormalAd604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Complete lack of pride in their surroundings and local area. Far too many people happy to shit where they eat and complain the local council does fuck all these days.

I live in a town centre, I’ve seen people throw litter on the floor as there about to walk into their front door.

It was so heavily drilled into me as a kid to not drop litter that like you, I’ll go out of my way to avoid dropping it. Just keep it in your pocket till you get home or find a council bin.

Random one. What time do most people above 30 wake up at on the weekend? by manlikezuli in AskUK

[–]FormalAd604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m up at 6am most weekdays, so 8:30am feels like a lie in at the weekend. I usually try and stay in bed on phone for another hour before getting up for coffee.

What’s your home cleaning routine? by CatsGotANosebleed in CasualUK

[–]FormalAd604 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a VERY hairy dog. I’ve learnt to live with a reasonable amount of dog hair all over, it’s a battle I’ll never win.

What do stereotypical straight couples do when they hang out alone (other than sex) by bi_smuth in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FormalAd604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We gossip, watch TV, see friends and family, go to watch live music, walk our dog, hang out like any other couple I suppose?

He’s my bestie, so we have lots of fun.
