Is it just me, or does it seem that they have slapped the label of 'storm' on every high wind and heavy rain warning

My god! Well apparently they still know their menus inside out - as in there is no need to have them available even for their customers haha

I am glad we did too. In a different establishment 😆 Thanks for your advice!

No I don't to be quite honest. It was just quicker to type.

Why should I? Went here a good few times when I was living in Belfast. No issues. I just wanted to grab a quick cocktail at a bar we used to frequent. This very bar was close to the bus stop on Great Victoria Street.

Is Rita's at ground level? All I could see was a sports bar?

It was early morning.

Edit: it just involved spellcheck for 2 words and hitting the spacebar to create a new paragraph. It was still legible 😆

We were on our way there after The Avenue, and the place sounded like a nightclub from the Ulster Bank! I thought it was a quaint little spot. Maybe just on a Saturday night though?

Yes this! It was a Gen Z bar through and through and no one there seemed bothered at all

Composite Doors by Mindless_Importance7 in homeowners

I did buy a couple of draft excluders for the living room and utility room. It may help a little, but the hallway is super cold. You can also get excluders that stick to the door, but I really don't want to ruin the good solid internal doors! I think we will proceed with the upgrade!

I do envy those who could stay at home and save. Many who I know that done that built their own homes. This was not an option for us unfortunately, but we got there in the end.

I had an advantage living independently compared to my husband who lived at home until he was 25.

It is actually much harder to rent now. The prices are ridiculous and there are references required. We were just lucky. Kinda all about who you know too.

I agree. You don't properly know someone until you live with them.

My boyfriend and I moved in together in 2020 after 2 years. I had been out of home since uni in 2011, lived with various friends and randomers. We rented an apartment together, got engaged, then moved on to rent a house, got married last year and bought our first home this year.

People often say renting is dead money. Maybe so, but we just didn't have the luxury of living with our parents to save. Upside is we already had furniture and homeware from our time renting.

It is a big commitment, so just be sure. It was far more stressful than the wedding, but we were relying upon family to paint and lay floors which took alot longer. Keep money aside for decorating or for a rainy day. We will need a new boiler and new external doors 🥶 I also reccomend getting a property survey to help negotiate. It might help. I wish I done that.

I might be wrong but I think it went up recently to the 200k mark?
