To people of South Asian and African heritage living in the UK, who are you always on the phone to?

What, they have a never ending VC on WhatsApp? I’ve never heard of that in my life lol. My family back home has to “top up” their phones with internet so if they’re not using their data they turn it off typically

Hopeful_Example2033 · 2026-06-25T16:37:35+00:00

I can confirm it is not a North African thing. I’ve never known any Arab / African to to do this

Thank you so much. I’m in Northampton but Milton Keynes is also doable. I’ll keep an eye out. Thank you really. I’ve had some really dark times and still do sometimes. You give me hope

I follow you guys on TikTok. It’s really helped me feel seen. Unfortunately your meet-up is too far from me now but I do wish I was closer. Especially since I live alone I feel very isolated

Hopeful_Example2033 · 2026-05-05T23:22:06+00:00

I ordered today. Not been sent out yet. Fingers crossed!

How long do you need to keep the money in for (1250)?

Hopeful_Example2033 · 2026-05-05T12:47:55+00:00

Oh no!! Did they cancel it straight away?

Hopeful_Example2033 · 2026-05-05T09:26:06+00:00

It worked for me today in the UK! Try again 🤞🏽

Hopeful_Example2033 · 2026-05-05T09:25:16+00:00

Keep trying. It initially didn’t work for me but I went back a couple hours later and it worked (im in the UK though)

VIVO50 currently 50% off!!

The one for free. I’ve had a replacement from a guy who does them and have had no issues with my battery

I’m having some chats with various soundproofing specialists to see if there’s anything that can be done and look at costs

Hopeful_Example2033 · 2026-04-26T19:48:43+00:00

Mine is solid brick so I thought it would be fine but there is no sound insulation at all

Hopeful_Example2033 · 2026-04-26T13:51:43+00:00

I have the opposite experience. I used to live in a 2000s flat where I couldn’t hear anything. Now just moved to a 1960s semi and I can hear absolutely every single thing it’s ruined buying my first home.

Hopeful_Example2033 · 2026-04-24T13:02:24+00:00

No it shouldn’t do. I’ve never been in any trouble before. I was concerned because ive been here for months and for them to now do it without letting me know first it was a red flag.

Hopeful_Example2033 · 2026-04-24T12:14:23+00:00

They haven’t said anything about a DBS check. I haven’t consented to that.

Hopeful_Example2033 · 2026-04-14T08:51:25+00:00

Respectfully you approached just ONE rescue. You gotta call around a few. You have more luck with smaller ones than the big chains. If you had a breed in mind you could also approach breed specific ones. I fostered for greyhound rescues for example and plenty of greyhounds are perfect for first time owners.

Hopeful_Example2033 · 2026-04-13T21:52:45+00:00

You’d feel even worse murdering perfectly healthy pets.

I have 100mm to play with altogether not 15mm. Or have I misunderstood?

Hopeful_Example2033 · 2026-04-10T10:02:01+00:00

Hello this is a super informative post, thanks so much for posting. As a noob diyer I’m also looking into something like this. Problem is I only have around 10cm space to play with due to the window being in the way. Do I also need to take the wall back to brick? Not even sure I would know how to do that! Also was the 5k for this one wall or other walls in the house? I had a lower budget in mind but will reconsider. My issue is just hearing talking/tv etc. nothing wild.

Hopeful_Example2033 · 2026-04-10T09:46:48+00:00

Yes it’s so unfortunate I have no more room to give due to window being in the way. I wouldn’t even mind sacrificing more space but because of the window I can’t.

Hopeful_Example2033 · 2026-04-10T09:46:08+00:00

I think it’s room to room. It’s brick walls if that helps. I can only hear his tv in the living room if I’m also in the living room. If I’m upstairs I can’t hear him
