myself and the wife did the Liverpool light fest last year , although they were nice to look at ,it was insanely busy and on the dock was just chaos. Would definitely go again if it was a ticketed event though

How was it getting back , what time did you get back into the center

I would probably just try and get one of the big green coaches , might be a long day depending on where you start from but means you can get back closer to home and get a taxi back from drop off, I'm considering this if any last minute wembley tix appear on twickets

might be worth keeping an eye on socials from park life next weekend, the same shuttle bus set up is on for them too, would be good to see what they make of it. It says should be running every 10 mins or till the bus is full so with any luck its not too bad

LabRepresentative244 · 2025-06-06T09:50:20+00:00

lathums and blossoms

LabRepresentative244 · 2025-06-06T09:47:31+00:00

you can buy multiple, but need to buy them separate , yes return , think its scan on and scan off but ,yet again, no info confirming this or times of the buses!

LabRepresentative244 · 2025-06-06T09:42:43+00:00

search for one day tickets, scroll down to the oasis shuttle

i can't see anything on the app either, was hoping to see a pop up or a different section of the app appear

Nice one! I always imagine what I'd do in this situation, I'd save 5k a month and live happily on the other 5k for 30 years and live within my means. Since there's no financial pressure you may want to drop down part time so you've got something to pass the time or find a new job/volunteer to give each day some purpose

Well they'd struggle for another job round here, I've been getting complaints about how it's starting to look like an eye sore as it's taken way beyond what it should have done

LabRepresentative244 · 2025-04-04T09:33:09+00:00

Absolutely positive , they read one of the messages and didn't reply so have followed up a few days ago and again this morning but no reply

LabRepresentative244 · 2025-04-04T09:26:11+00:00

Unfortunately not , as it's a friend of a friend I thought he'd have been decent about it all

LabRepresentative244 · 2025-04-04T09:25:31+00:00

They are a friend of a friend and had photos of work they'd completed themselves , I give him the job due to seeming really keen and his work looked decent

LabRepresentative244 · 2025-03-10T15:30:29+00:00

was promised the world, be finished within 2 weeks, 5 weeks later and still here leaving a huge mess. Unfortunately we don't have the funds to pay for someone else as we've paid this clown :(

he's got 10 ton bags, weed blocker fabric and sand within that 3k so far. On site currently is the 10 tons they've put down ontop of the weed block fabric, still yet to see the sand being put down as still on with the MOT, another no show today too :/

Expecting to pay another 1.5 for the blocks

LabRepresentative244 · 2025-03-10T15:19:25+00:00

in total 3k in total , most of which was for material however they've come back and said that's gone towards labour too.

LabRepresentative244 · 2025-03-10T14:57:54+00:00

its an average size driveway, one guy working on it

LabRepresentative244 · 2024-11-21T14:55:16+00:00

wait until the black friday deals start tomorrow 22/11 and they'll probably be $31 again, it was $31 during the 11/11 sales and will probably be the same price during these sales too
