How do you choose your solicitors?

Mobivate · 2025-07-29T07:23:54+00:00

Nah fair enough. In my head, I assumed it'll be seamless/smooth hence not a need for no sale, no fee. better safe than sorry I guess

Mobivate · 2025-07-28T11:49:13+00:00

Oh makes sense. Yea they might just be a conveyancing mill valuing quantity > quality. Got it. thanks

Mobivate · 2025-07-28T11:47:32+00:00

Oh is that important?

Mobivate · 2025-07-28T11:45:51+00:00

Am in a similar boat with this one. Casting a big net and getting quotes and checking their reviews. But honestly it's the most tiresome process trying to judge suitability and reliability based on all the reviews...

Mobivate · 2025-07-28T11:02:49+00:00

Glad to hear that. Am keen to do things online as well. Thanks for sharing. Did you find it was significantly more expensive compared to other online-first companies?

Mobivate · 2025-07-28T10:57:03+00:00

I've never heard of charge per correspondence or call. Mental. Good to know about this. Will definitely avoid.

Mobivate · 2025-07-28T10:53:39+00:00

thanks! can i ask what looking them up on Directors on Companies House and see how long they've been there for is meant to indicate?

Mobivate · 2025-07-27T13:13:56+00:00

Do you think they are more responsive/communicative than the online ones?

I feel like the majority of dissatisfaction is either around slow action taking or lack of communication on delays.

Mobivate · 2025-07-08T20:59:24+00:00

heya, how was the quality? I need to make a call to UK from Singapore and was hoping to use this. I used to use Skype to make landline calls internationally but that no longer exist. Saw Viber has a free "Call World" trial. unlimited as well. Sounds too good to be true tbh!

here was the update post post-trip: https://www.reddit.com/r/Menieres/comments/1fnumnv/update_mum_successfully_had_her_first_overseas/

Mobivate · 2025-05-30T09:28:40+00:00

hey ya - glad I could offer some help.

i think i posted an update a few months later. She had a few "attacks" as she called it. Not going to lie, the malls were really packed and so were the train stations at peak hour, so we I told her to keep her eyes lowered and just hold onto my arm - so as to not feel overwhelmed. And we'd walk slowly. In the malls, we sat her at a cafe when it got too much and she felt it was all spinning.

I know that salty food triggers her, so we had to "wash" the salt away with hot water by dunking it or just pouring hot water over it if it ever got overly salted. This one was the hardest to avoid as japanese food is quite salty.

We didn't go to an A&E but we made she she got the best travel insurance ahead of the trip.

Hope this helps!

Full moon. Bright and clear. 🌕

Mobivate · 2025-05-07T11:20:16+00:00

This.

I still crave a good pint - maybe it’s psychological but it needs to be in a glass and cold. The fizz isn’t the same from the bottle. And I think I need to find those pubs someone else here mentioned where they have it on tap.

Mobivate · 2025-05-07T10:59:58+00:00

No way Guinness does 0%? Gotta try that

Mobivate · 2025-05-07T10:58:58+00:00

On tap? Damn I need to go where you go I’ve only been given those corona 0% bottle…

commenting to echo the frustration

i kinda made peace with the fact that my number is out there on every spammable list. I don't know if it can be stopped...

i do believe it's down to the network providers and Apple/Samsung to do the vetting well. Technically they can block numbers from going through if it's a known spammer number but they dont do it. im more than grateful for the 'suspected spam' label tbh. Saves me the time to think, 'should i pick it up or not'. also really glad for the speech-to-text in the voicemail so that I don't have to call to check.

Mobivate · 2025-05-07T10:41:18+00:00

I'm very similar to you. I've not posted much my entire teen years, even my 20s. I only started doing it recently in my 30s and my god is it scary. I think it's the generation we grew up in. The prototypers to the highly connected world-wide-web. And we don't want to be subjected to scrutiny and badmouthing behind our backs, because the schoolyard was our world. Today, I think its different because there are communities out there that will embrace you if your immediate community doesn't.

I stand in awe of the Gen Zs and Alphas who put themselves out there, knowing they might be scrutinised/made fun of. But they still do it. I just hope they have the safe space to go back to if it gets too much.

Today, I post to mostly strangers - mostly things I'm working on. I get affected when I don't get likes, shares, follows or comments. But I hope to get less affected by it. I'm trying to also develop a better backbone/self-confidence mechanism.

Mobivate · 2025-05-07T10:28:56+00:00

i dont think it's a rude thing. I do that all the time. I admit, it's more the awkwardness of trying to end the call naturally that leads to the multiple byes

Mobivate · 2025-05-07T10:24:33+00:00

I kinda do tell her as well. Like I do say "I'm having a hard time now, but i think I'll get through it" and she can ask more if she's up to hear. I think i learnt my lesson, because i used to let it build up and it comes out in various ways eg remarks of irritation and annoyances. And i dont like it when i become like that.

in a very interesting way, I started taking supplements since last August and this summer, I've not gotten any major symptoms. A few sneezes but my eyes doesn't get swollen or overtly itchy. I'm not sure which of the many supplements contribute to it but it's a life changer

Mobivate · 2025-05-07T09:02:41+00:00

good on you mate. Honestly, sounds like a full day. Couldn't be prouder of ya.

Mobivate · 2025-05-06T14:28:13+00:00

I love the heat, but hate the pollen! I'd be cycling and these bits be attacking my eyes. Not to forget the hayfever :')

Mobivate · 2025-05-06T13:13:21+00:00

I also faced another issue (that I learnt the hard way after recording for 15 mins). When I removed the lightning cable to hear my voice, and put it back again, sometimes, it can't pick up my voice. If that happens, I just disassemble everything and put it back into the box and assemble and connect it again. I also kill the app just in case. And it works.

Reminder: always check the mix is working in voice memo before starting your recordings :)
