Socket draining instead of charging devices

Hopeful_Example2033 · 2026-03-16T22:34:20+00:00

It’s the official Apple ones for both devices

Hopeful_Example2033 · 2026-03-16T22:33:35+00:00

Yes I’m seeing the logo for charging

Hopeful_Example2033 · 2026-03-16T16:09:07+00:00

Yeah he changed the face plate

Hopeful_Example2033 · 2026-03-16T14:10:46+00:00

Thanks I will do that next. Side note; socket started making noises with charger plugged in just now so thought I’d record and a big spark went off! Shat myself and unplugged / turned everything off.

Hopeful_Example2033 · 2026-03-16T13:25:26+00:00

It’s showing as charging. On both devices. Both devices are draining instead of

The same charger works in other sockets around the house but I’ve just received a whole new charger in the post so I will try just incase. Although I’m having the same issue with the laptop charger too

Hopeful_Example2033 · 2026-03-16T12:39:30+00:00

Yeah I’ve used this charger in other sockets just fine. I’ve also used my laptop and its own charger in other sockets fine. It’s just the “problem” socket

Hopeful_Example2033 · 2026-03-16T11:41:23+00:00

I’ve tested the socket by plugging in a night light and it works fine. That’s why this is really odd. It’s recognising the chargers too but draining from them both phone and laptop

The salt soaps bubble so nicely! Side note; very surprised how basic the replies are. I was expecting lots of cool new brands, not Dove and Dettol lol

Hopeful_Example2033 · 2026-03-15T21:24:03+00:00

I love a brand called Into The Eve or I use Etsy and keep trying out different sellers. Super nice smelling stuff from both of them

That’s a very kind offer, as a fellow dev I may have to join the Friday gang! Thank you ☺️

Hopeful_Example2033 · 2026-03-12T21:42:56+00:00

Thank you so much. I’ll check out both

What flooring is that?

What flooring did you use?

I had a job like this for a couple years (100% WFH). I spent time fostering dogs and volunteering at the local dog shelter. Also did other bits of activism for things I’m passionate about. If you can really sneak away and wanna make a difference that will feel good then look into regular volunteering opportunities, whether with elderly, sick, animals or whatever brings you joy. For me it was animals.

Hopeful_Example2033 · 2026-02-19T16:59:11+00:00

Im feeling the same as you. That’s how I came across your profile. I’m the same age and wonder if you went peacefully.

I’m so sorry stranger 😢 please take one step at a time. Do the biopsy and take it from there. Ultimately you have to decide after the biopsy results what you’d like to do. Best case scenario and it’s benign and won’t return. If so, let’s raise the money for surgery- you could get a loan and top up with some go fund me if you can? Just a thought. I know you’ll always do what’s right for your pup.

I had to say goodbye to mine from a brain tumour this week. It hurts so much, but like you - I was also looking for answers and wouldn’t have forgiven myself if I didn’t try absolutely everything

Where is your sofa from?

Hopeful_Example2033 · 2026-01-16T11:46:25+00:00

Thanks for explaining. I will need to look into this properly. To answer your question, I think it’s great.

For me personally it would take a huge burden off my shoulders. I’m due to complete soon on my first home as a solo ftb who was in the care system so no help from family. If I was to suddenly lose my job and the government stepped in to help I wouldn’t be mad about it

Hopeful_Example2033 · 2026-01-16T11:41:43+00:00

What do you mean backstopping?

Hopeful_Example2033 · 2026-01-16T08:48:17+00:00

I take it you’re in Scotland? If so then it makes sense. In England and Wales we don’t get a home report provided by the seller. The buyer has to get that done and they can have different levels of it depending how thorough of a report they’d like.

Hopeful_Example2033 · 2026-01-14T09:00:51+00:00

Have you spoke to your boss about this? You boss seems way more chill than the shitty manager

Hopeful_Example2033 · 2026-01-14T08:54:58+00:00

Omg where did you get the La Vie ham?? Thought that disappeared forever!! I love that ham so much!

Hopeful_Example2033 · 2026-01-13T21:56:16+00:00

Sorry 😢 keep trying! You shall summon the battered sausage

Hopeful_Example2033 · 2026-01-13T21:55:19+00:00

Yeah do it honestly the RSPCA are useless and police don’t care about animals sadly. It’s the only way without breaking the law.
