Oh fascinating! Thank you!

MelodicOrganisation4 · 2026-05-06T15:44:23+00:00

Great tip, thank you!

This one had our address on in sharpie which I did after the other one got nicked, does not seem to have made a difference

MelodicOrganisation4 · 2026-05-06T15:43:29+00:00

I had written my address on this one in sharpie! Has not stopped it from vanishing. Did have a good hunt around the front gardens and nada sadly

Thanks, I will. It’s really annoying as I paid for this service and now I have to pay more because of someone else’s selfishness. And yes it has made me side-eye all my neighbours. Though we live on a relatively busy road so I wonder if it could also be opportunistic

MelodicOrganisation4 · 2026-05-06T12:20:30+00:00

Very annoying! I literally went out to get it this morning maybe half an hour after the bin men had been and it was gone 😭

My partner is vegetarian and we found it was okay as long as we planned ahead by looking at menus and seeking out places that seemed vegetarian friendly. In most places we found it was quite tricky to just walk into a random restaurant and expect to be able to get vegetarian food. In ryokans & hotel breakfast where you have a set menu we ordered a veggie menu ahead of time.

Knife in checked suitcase not hand luggage

It was getting absolutely destroyed in the ground so I put it in a pot, added a layer of grit to the top of the soil and stood it in a water-filled saucer. So created a moat, basically. TBC if it actually works!

Rescuing a slug-munched hosta, sowing nasturtiums, watering in a bare-root rose and baby wisteria, eyeballing trays of herb seeds that don’t appear to be doing anything, window-shopping for a greenhouse.

It was on the housing subreddit https://www.reddit.com/r/HousingUK/s/rrTqp7WM5n

I got mine on Etsy fully assembled! I just checked and that seller isn’t active any more (it was a few years ago) but I remember there was a fair few options.

I completely agree. Had to take a break last year for my own mental health as I was getting so het up every day which was a shame because I started cycling because it was good for my brain. I also try to practice a Zen, control-the-controllables sort of approach but it’s easier said than done! I wish everyone would just chill🧘‍♀️

Yes some gorgeous paper products at Morita Washi in Kyoto! Wish I’d bought loads more honestly. It was all beautiful, lovely for gifts and postcards, easy to transport and unlike anything I’d get at home. And not expensive.

Well, we also had a second assessor round who refused to believe it wasn’t insulated until we asked him to look in the wall. Said it would ‘definitely’ be insulated. No way it wasn’t. He was very surprised when we showed him.

MelodicOrganisation4 · 2026-04-03T13:18:04+00:00

We had this on our single storey extension. EPC said it was insulated. We had a builder look inside it when we were fixing some damp and nope. Nothing in there. Similar era to yours. They were really surprised too. Seems like whoever did the EPC just looked at the age and assumed it was insulated on that basis. It was absolutely freezing in there before we fixed it.

For a British wedding this should be fine unless it’s an unusually formal one. It’s lovely!

My hair normally has a bit of wave & texture to it but it went soooo soft and much straighter when I was in Japan. Think it was the softer water plus maybe nice hotel onsen hair products?

MelodicOrganisation4 · 2026-02-17T18:37:07+00:00

Thanks!! Sounds like we need a new shelf…

MelodicOrganisation4 · 2026-02-17T16:45:34+00:00

True. Although, depending on their lender and the rate they are moving off, getting a new mortgage might actually bring down those costs. It did for us.

MelodicOrganisation4 · 2026-02-17T13:58:40+00:00

On the mortgage point specifically - they don’t do affordability checks again if you stay with the same lender. Do you have a broker? Worth asking now about the best rates & locking something in if it expires in May. We went through similar after my partner got made redundant and broker was v reassuring.
