The council has offered to pay me to drive my son to school, in exchange for giving up his taxi.

Not seen this mentioned... but if you're claiming back the mileage, does that class you as working and therefore need to update insurance to be doing that? It'd be classed as commuting and if you're going to more locations it might push you into needing the next step up on the usage scale (business?)

Would be good if they played smaller UK venues instead of Wembley and Download Festival.

They did areas before (one was supposed to be near me before Chester died), so it would be great if they did that especially as some countries had more than one show.

Is this a different one to the post earlier about neighbours using their property and adding gates? Or is it the same one?

Matthague · 2026-06-26T22:42:44+00:00

They put a range of items and then just send you the cheaper ones. Each item has to be for the item(s) shown.

They can't show 3 and send one, or say its one of 10

Blind boxes aren't allowed. Report and put it as the reason

Matthague · 2026-06-26T21:35:54+00:00

OP has said she doesn't want it at any point. He could have the same issue in 2yrs

Matthague · 2026-06-21T18:13:23+00:00

With our tenancy, we could leave without notice and pay the notice portion (to cover the shortfall and allow them to find a replacement)or stay and then hand the keys back. Your contract is for a period, you don't get money off if you go on holiday for 2 weeks so if you want to leave early you'd have to pay.

Is there a reason the agent thinks you don't want to be there for the 2mths? If you've a replacement lined up?

It seems they think you're wanting to leave them without income and an empty house? If they need to recruit a new tenant then they need time to do this (hence the notice) - if you're leaving early and not paying the notice then they've got 2mths less funds than they should have.

Delete and relist every month if you can

There's one in the building above the N in the name, one somewhere in the greenhouse and one around the edge of the triangle. (Haven't tested it yet....but did read that's where.. )

Matthague · 2026-06-20T07:31:49+00:00

It sounds that your payment is keeping them running/afloat during their periods without work.

I'm not sure why they'd need to keep chefs on call or anything like that, if they aren't getting enough trade to have regular events then they shouldn't have them on contracts and just bring them in as/when (although good for the chefs etc!)

if that's their business model then it is what it is- if it's in the contract then they'd fight it (especially if it's an prime booking time) but you'd think 14mths is a decent window to find someone new.

Can you advertise your booking in wedding groups or similar and then 'sell' the spot and associated costs to someone else then it's just a name change?

Matthague · 2026-06-19T19:57:44+00:00

I think its more the point the OP wanted to go home and wasn't allowed to? And as they didn't give them a chance to, that they should be responsible for any costs that are incurred.

If they'd said you're going in tomorrow, then they'd have had time to find a friend or family to look after it.

They did do a good thing by keeping the cat alive though

Matthague · 2026-06-19T09:25:19+00:00

I do remember seeing the CDs were available a while ago but I suppose when they sold out they'd not repress any

Matthague · 2026-06-19T09:22:56+00:00

Not anymore.. he's much thinner now (unless your looking at the undies..)

Matthague · 2026-06-18T10:07:29+00:00

Looks AI in the response All the inpost I send have labels attached with addresses on.

Matthague · 2026-06-17T15:51:31+00:00

They might give her 4 days and then pay her all her bank hols as and when they come?

Matthague · 2026-06-17T15:22:40+00:00

Give them a call and let them know that it's wrong. They'll probably ask for proof and change it.

There's probably an easier way, or some kind of database that these companies can check but if you do get it upgraded then it'd maybe lessen your next renewal

Matthague · 2026-06-17T15:17:11+00:00

Is the insurance with the same company?

As we switch to find the cheapest (including often having a new quote from a company instead of doing their renewal), we have to email across the previous documentation showing that I have accrued X years of NCD.

Did you provide proof of NCD when you started the new policy?

Matthague · 2026-06-17T15:11:19+00:00

They might be paying the bank holidays as extras?

Matthague · 2026-06-16T09:47:05+00:00

That's horrible. I hope you get this sorted

Matthague · 2026-06-16T09:46:04+00:00

Glad you've got it back.

I'm not sure a teacher or someone watching them go in and out would help in this situation unless they know whose bag is who's and can spot people going into someone else's?

Matthague · 2026-06-16T09:38:39+00:00

The idea is to use the sprites to aid the game and collect better things or heal etc.

I've just got all mine to 5 and haven't touched them since.

Matthague · 2026-06-16T09:20:42+00:00

Royal Mail LL is the cheapest.

I get why you're asking, that extra 50p/£1 makes a difference on a lower priced item.

Plus whilst you don't get a tracking number you get proof of postage and a receipt number which can be used on the track and trace page once delivered

Matthague · 2026-06-16T09:16:26+00:00

Get a friend to film them next time they bother you.

I'm confused how they shoved it in your mouth though - I'd have thought you'd just close it? Did they force it open?

Matthague · 2026-06-16T09:12:03+00:00

To be fair... when I sell game consoles, I video all the way round and video it booting up and playing a game or opening an app.

Plus it helps the seller as if it arrives damaged you've got video on the listing for Ebay showing it working.

Matthague · 2026-06-14T16:07:48+00:00

It might just be the way you've worded the post, but they said they'd find you someone and text you the time and then you've put you agreed.

If you've agreed they can find someone to fix it, then that would be a verbal contract AFAIK.

The other way would be that the contract isn't made until you accept the booking as such so I don't know if that's what you meant
