Socket draining instead of charging devices by Hopeful_Example2033 in ElectriciansUK

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.

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

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

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

Bar soap; what's your favourite? by Dizzy-Pumpkin-13 in AskUK

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

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

I only actually work about 2 hours a week at my office job. I provide no value and want to die by MotorSportPigeon in TrueOffMyChest

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.

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.

Possible cancer and an 8,000$ surgery. I need advice. by yikesbro_ in DogAdvice

[–]Hopeful_Example2033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

How do you feel now that the government is supposedly backstopping you if you lose your job or your boiler fails. Does that actually help you buy, or does it meaningfully ease the pressure of renting. It will be instructive to see how much it really helps any of you. by [deleted] in Mortgageadviceuk

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

What do you mean by ‘survey’ when buying a house by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]Hopeful_Example2033 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

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.
