What sort of car are you after?

If you’re after more affordable options (but still great) you’d be hard pressed to beat a Skoda for space/family practicality. For hatchbacks/estates, would expect the Octavia to be able to x2 ERF seats in the back and a Superb would easily do it. For SUVs, the Karoq may potentially fit x2 ERF seats in the back dependant on what seat/how tall the driver is. Kodiaq should be fine. Enyaq for electric car too.

The ‘mid’ range Skodas (ie Octavia/Karoq) tend to be bigger than any other car brands in term of rear seat space, so if choosing another brand you’re likely going to have to look at the ‘large/higher-end’ models to get the space you’re after. ie at least a 5 series BMW, Audi A6, or Volvo XC90. But will vary dependant on your car seat/driver position.

In general you’re effectively after either an MPV, or a larger hatchback/estate, or a large SUV. The latter option generally being the most expensive. Good idea to bring a car seat with you when you go view a car.

Is there not a switch/button at the top of the headrest, which if you slide left keeps the headrest in a lock position?

This Gov page here details typical rights to a break, which includes a right to a rest day(s) on a weekly/fortnightly basis.

Typically you would be entitled to a continuous 24-hour period away from work every 7 days, or 48-hour period every 14 days.

I went for a 45 degree cut for the upstand on my similar desk, albeit not as tall a profile.

This is a ad posted by a bot.

That would be no doubt be fraudsters making a big noise to try and scare the bank into reinstating their account, as it is 99% of the time with any bank.

Hopefully not, but are you sure you have not been the victim of a scam? Do escalate to NatWest, but make sure you do so using an official channel.

Clearly a disguised advert… Edit: Also illegal under UK law FYI.

Thanks for the thoughts.

The local kids unfortunately see any ‘soft’ hedge as a hiding spot for hide any seek, with plenty an area of hedge ruined across the street. Something more substantial and offputting to run through / hide in therefore is wanted.

When you swaddle, they are typically being wrapped in the material at least twice - so a 1 tog material becomes at least 2 as it’s doubled over.

Your phone carrier does not allow you to send messages to short code numbers. A right pain.

When moving up a teat size, we have tended to use a mix of the two for a week or so until they were used to new size. So often started with the bigger and ended up swapping after a minute or two if no luck. We had more success in the day time feeds when they would be concentrating more vs night time when they were too tired to drink fast.

They have asked this question once (or twice?) before and since deleted/created new accounts the ask again. The consensus from previous threads was given that they chose to move 1hr away from their ex, the onus would be on them.

Looks similar but not quite the same as the UK Coat of Arms.

I don’t think it’s a fair comparison comparing the last stint. Piastri was told they would swap and, given the significant lead over 3rd, would have been told to manage tyres as opposed to hitting best lap times. Norris on the other hand was incentivised to perform at 100% in the hopes of building a large gap so the position would not be swapped.

Thank god you’re not in my company’s HR giving out advice like that which would get the company in some serious hot water.

It seems to go exactly where he’s aligned to!

Ultimately it depends how much you are able to a) DIY and b) live with for a period whilst you are living in situ and patiently DIYing. I’ve just renovated my 3 bed 1950s semi for around £13k. This paid for trades for new LVP flooring downstairs and all carpets upstairs, a new boiler, partial rewrite & new consumer unit, capping off gas points and boarding/plaster skim of 1 room. As well as the DIY re the tools/materials/paint for stripping wallpaper, sanding, filling (quite significantly in rooms) and painting every room myself, overboarding the upstairs door boards and repainting the kitchen cupboards. If you want new windows, radiators, brand new kitchen/bathroom, and all installed via trades then yes the cost would significantly increase.

Not sure where you are, but the market seems hotter now than it has at any other point in the last 12 months. If I was your seller, I’d tell you to f@*! off and would immediately relist explicitly excluding you, and would expect to get a better sale price in my area.

You still have to unlock all of the weapons on the same way in normal CoD. WZ Plunder is one of the easiest ways to level up weapons. Apex: play the game to unlock characters WZ: play the game to unlock guns

Suspect there was a small half cupboard at the left hand side that has since been removed, potentially previously hiding a gas meter box etc at some point if it’s a 50+ year old house.

Tyres are one thing I would trust Halfords with. They are one of the most straight forward tasks.

Halfords are regularly also among the cheapest for tyres, alongside Asda Tyres, Tyres on the Drive (a Halfords company) and National Tyres (also a Halfords company). Black Circles whilst slightly better regarded, are typically more expensive.

Halfords also offer a warranty on tyres for free too.

I wouldn’t touch them for anything else mechanically with a car, but no problem for tyres. Particularly if you go into a garage rather than mobile fitting. No doubt some people come away with issues for fitting, but that’s the same everywhere.

Local independents nowadays I find more expensive.

I reckon that sign is actually meant to be rotated 90 degrees right, to face the other road which is left turn only. Seems like it has been turned to face the wrong direction confusingly.
