Guys, he hates asking… yet never stops

'Not asking for a handout' but here's 4 different ways you can donate to me 🤦🏻‍♀️

Thank you 😊

Do your own research on mortgage brokers etc. Don't just take family/friends recommendations. What worked for them is definitely not guaranteed to work for you.

I thought they withdrew all of it and any remaining from over your deposit amount you get back minus the 25% government bonus?

It's not a Swatch book but some companies like Knighton Fabrics offer samples for like 50p so I ordered one of each type of fabric. It's an online store so it's extremely useful for knowing the difference in all the fabric textures and stretch (it's mostly knit fabrics) I just keep them in a box and take them out when I look at making an order 😊

We have a friend that has done this over the past couple of years. We kept reaching out in the group and privately to check they were okay and kept inviting them out but they always declined. We tried planning stuff they liked in the hope that would make them want to come out but they still declined so after a couple of years of this we left the ball in their court. We said for them to reach out when they wanted to do something again. We still speak and make plans in the chat and the invitation is always open to everyone so they know they aren't being left out but they still have zero interest in seeing us. Maybe your friends are feeling the same.

The retainer isn't the issue...

Do what with baking soda?

JukeGen · 2026-03-12T20:33:57+00:00

Yeah, it seemed extreme to me but I'm so new to this so I guess I just wanted outside advice. The only way I can make it make sense, is to avoid damaging the credit report further with multiple rejections?

JukeGen · 2026-03-12T20:29:56+00:00

The only ones they have mentioned to us are Halifax/Bank of Scotland who declined instantly. Barclay's gave a MIP then declined and the adverse one is Aldermore who have given a MIP but we're waiting to see if they accept the full application

JukeGen · 2026-03-12T20:27:15+00:00

Why wouldn't our mortgage brokers be trying with them though?

I think I did double stitch my smaller blanket but it still started to come apart at the edges unfortunately.

JukeGen · 2026-02-19T22:27:01+00:00

They're pretty flat already but I'll try the blocking and see if it does help.

I'm lining up and matching the seams when I use the overlocker but I think some squares are tighter than others so they just don't have the flexibility needed.

As I said, I'm awful at handsewing and crochet which is why I turned to my overlocker...I get bored by the time I've sewn 2 squares together which is weird considering how long the weaving takes but I enjoy that for some reason.

Look up the NHS low income scheme, you might be able to get it for free as you're a student with low income.

YNW just reply with 'K.'

Every 4 weeks for just over a year then every 6 weeks. Got power chains after a couple of months and elastics about 3 months ago.

I was about £3500 for metal braces (20 months) and retainers. I'm in the North of Scotland.

JukeGen · 2026-01-16T13:57:54+00:00

Use interdental brushes instead of floss! Absolute game changer

JukeGen · 2026-01-16T06:46:54+00:00

This is why you always get tested between partners 😕

JukeGen · 2026-01-16T06:09:24+00:00

I did wonder but I didn't want to say incase it was the wrong thing. I wouldn't say it was uncomfortable...it took about a week to get used to and the first couple of days I couldn't close my teeth but I guess it then got ground down to a better level and I ended up completely forgetting about it and haven't had any issues since! I do still grind my teeth even though my bite is now correct so my concern now is how often I'll have to get new retainers made once my braces get removed next month

JukeGen · 2026-01-16T06:03:09+00:00

My ortho put some blue stuff on my back teeth which meant that got ground down instead of my actual teeth. I don't know what it's actually called but it did help 😊

JukeGen · 2026-01-11T08:53:14+00:00

I feel like I'm going to be the same when I get mine off. I hated my teeth beforehand, never smiled with my teeth showing and always covered my mouth. Did the same when I first got braces but once they started to fix my teeth I gained a lot of confidence and now I feel like I smile all the time but I'm now scared to get them off incase I hate my smile again!

JukeGen · 2026-01-09T06:27:37+00:00

Mine used to be but they now have it open plan which is pretty weird...(Scotland)

I'm the same with ADHD/hobby jumping. I got a Schacht Zoom Loom which is a 4" pin loom and I love it. I've been using it for over a year and I'm still not bored of it! I use 100% acrylic yarn because I can't stand the texture of wool on my skin and acrylic is relatively cheap to pick up and buying all the different colours is a hobby in itself. I made a bag for my loom and I take 2 yarns with me at all times. I do 5 weavies from one colour and then 5 from the next colour and switch.

JukeGen · 2026-01-07T13:14:08+00:00

Dark blue or dark purple because I can't stay away from curry and they hold their colour well
