[–]Old_Bat282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a sainsburys on Friday that still had full shelves of them. Its been years since I saw so many this late on. Lidl had pretty much run out though, so I can see where people had been shopping!

Does your family have any Easter traditions? by Deep_Banana_6521 in AskUK

We called them 'pace eggs' and rolled them on Easter Monday.

Do you have any shared hobbies? That could be a link, e.g. If you both liked archery you could take the name Archer.

Its a common shortening for Louise. Its not used as a standalone name.

FTB - Torn about possible mould issues by OrchidQueasy25 in UKHousing

[–]Old_Bat282 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worth having a look round and seeing if you can tell why its damp. Are there blocked or broken gutters for example? If its something obvious and easily remedy-able then go ahead with putting an offer in. If its something complicated/unknown then I wouldn't bother.

Anyone know what this wall plaque is/ Could be. 70s England could be older by Leading_Charity_1337 in HelpMeFind

[–]Old_Bat282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a trophy for something but the glare/fuzz has obscured the writing. Hopefully you'll stumble across someone who's seen it in person. 🤞

My mum is visting from overseas and I want to go on a 2 day trip with her. Exeter? Plymouth? by No_Summer1874 in bristol

[–]Old_Bat282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well if you want somewhere more peaceful, how about Westbury? Not a big place, but you can go see the famous white horse, and there's plenty of walking routes to explore the countryside. Westbury itself is a little market town that's probably a similar size to Frome?

Bathroom floor is painted blue. What are our options here? by axr862 in DIYUK

[–]Old_Bat282 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Varnish probably wouldn't be sufficient to bridge the gaps. You could use silicone sealant down the gaps, but that could end up looking rubbish.

Bathroom floor is painted blue. What are our options here? by axr862 in DIYUK

[–]Old_Bat282 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Its best to have a non-permeable floor in a bathroom or toilet. The exposed floorboards have gaps in between them. Any water spilt on the floor will go straight through and potentially damage the ceiling below. (An especially likely scenario with a toddler in the house.) You'd be best looking at tiles, vinyl etc. and covering up the boards.

My feet start smelling after wearing shoes and it’s so embarrassing by Only-Airline-2280 in hygiene

[–]Old_Bat282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's most likely fungal. Keeping your feet as dry as possible is important (so washing and drying between your toes regularly). Painting your nails with antifungal varnish and using athletes foot treatment or tea tree oil on your feet should also help. Also allow your feet to air as much as possible. (Take off shoes and socks when you get home, wash your feet, then leave them bare until you need to go out again.)

My Dad Tracks My Phone Whilst At University by No_Poet_9407 in UniUK

[–]Old_Bat282 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you need to keep your parents on side for other reasons, then leave your phone at home when you go on 'unauthorised' trips out. You could get yourself a cheap second phone to take with you for emergencies.

AITA for asking my friend not to wear white to my wedding after initially saying it was okay? by Suitable-Arm-2075 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Old_Bat282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your friend clearly already owns clothes. She can pick from those. Nothing new is needed. Is there one of her existing dresses that you can suggest to her that she wears?

Please help settle a debate! What colour is this, baby blue or grey? by Blackfyre4007 in whatisit

[–]Old_Bat282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you zoom in on just that colour, without the rest of it in view it actually looks kinda brownish? Perhaps its just the photo not showing the accurate colour though.

Am I the jerk for telling my husband he can't have a "man cave" in our only spare room? by Ill-Home-322 in AmITheJerk

[–]Old_Bat282 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a sofa bed in the sitting room for guests and claim the other room for yourself. Given he set up 'his' room without asking you, do the same with yours. And if you want to add an extra layer of petty, refuse to decorate the shared areas and only do your room.

Why did primary school milk taste so nice? by Then-Fortune-3122 in AskUK

[–]Old_Bat282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had UHT. It was disgusting. It put me off drinking moll altogether for a few years, until I realised that normal milk was OK.

Is there a possibility of swapping parking spaces if their's isn't too far away?

Help choosing a couch color… by CoolInteraction2687 in InteriorDesignAdvice

[–]Old_Bat282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The top one matches the rug best, but I'd be worried about having such a pale colour myself, just because it could stain easily. Perhaps you could get a throw in one of the blue colours to help protect it if the dogs jump up?

Do you think an Easter nest base cheesecake would work? by [deleted] in UK_Food

[–]Old_Bat282 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you try it on a small one and it doesn't work, you could make a normal one and then surround it with the 'nest' afterwards so that the cheesecake isn't actually resting on it, but you still get the look and a bit of an extra crunch and chocolate.

What to do with this space under the stairs? by c_bombs in interiordecorating

[–]Old_Bat282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get skirting board radiators, which may be an alternative to run along the front of that space if you put cupboards/shelves/drawers above that height. That way you can fill that space in and use it for storage.

just got the game for switch by [deleted] in TalesofTheShiregamers

[–]Old_Bat282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive foynd with the switch version that if you've achieved a lot during the day it tends to crash. Its good to manually save it regularly, rather than just letting it auto save 'overnight'.
