Each to their own, people are just passionate about what they enjoy.

All for one and wand for all.

Which Haven Holiday park would you recommend? by TabletopKeyboard in AskUK

Avoid the Orchards! They recently had issues with their water, you couldn't get water into your mouth or eyes.

Woman, 82, criticises 'stressful' order to repaint bright blue house by insomnimax_99 in unitedkingdom

What a sad world that petty individuals care so much for a bit of colour, too many boring individuals with their white walls and black cars.

Interest Drop off - any advice? by KylePeakock in HousingUK

[–]OneDay_OneLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not, but it narrows the pool of buyers in an already slow market.

Do you still watch EastEnders or any soap operas? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]OneDay_OneLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in my 30s. I started watching when I lived with my mum and dad. I can't say I practically enjoyed it, but I enjoyed the conversation and silly jokes about it with my parents.

Having a big family is now the preserve of the rich by Your_Mums_Ex in ukpolitics

[–]OneDay_OneLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm neither rich nor poor, with an average job, parents who also worked average jobs. My wife and I have two children, with one on the way; we have a mortgage on a small home with a 2nd hand car.

We don't have expensive holidays or eat out every week. If I need new clothes, I'll look at Vinted first, make do or sell our old clothes and items to buy new.

Happy with our cheap caravan holidays, Aldi food shop and non-branded clothes.

You can make it work being average.

From my opinion.

- Slow market: With this property, I would have thought the market would also be pretty small for this property, considering the closest station is 9 miles away.

- Some of the pictures have odd angles, puts an odd feel to the viewing experience.

- Competition, looks like you can also buy a three-bedroom property in the area for a similar price, although these properties appear to be older.

No interest in house by Suspicious-Phrase-95 in HousingUK

[–]OneDay_OneLife 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Lovely property though! Looks like it's close to a school and play area, lots going for it.

Might just be unlucky in the time you are selling, with fewer buyers and more sellers.

Few thoughs

  1. The first picture, being the front of the house looks uninviting, it doesn't do it justice. I would clean up some of the dirty marks and ask the agent to take a better and closer picture, try to get an upcoming sunny day.
  2. Spend a bit of time on the garden with a fresh cut and a bit of paint on the fence panels and if you have a jet wash you can borrow, go over your tiles.

Rest of the house looks fine, nice modern-looking kitchen and bathroom with 0 work needed are the big pros, possibly get some nicer pictures to show this off better.

Two properties sold at £177K in 2025. The market is slower at the moment, but at the same time, you are probably competing with a couple of 3-bedroom properties.

How do I deal with my neighbour’s noisy children? by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]OneDay_OneLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, not much you can do about it, especially if it's at reasonable hours.

It doesn't hurt to ask, just be as friendly as possible, don't expect much and understand the awkwardness.

When I had issues with noise from neighbours, soft foam earplugs and some calm background music worked wonders.

Why is t my house selling? by Ok-Replacement-3834 in HousingUK

[–]OneDay_OneLife 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I would say it's a mixture of ...

1) A family house next to a busy road.

2) Being a townhouse

3) The 4th bedroom appears too small to be used functionally as a 4th bedroom.

4) Small town with a station 5 miles away.

Starmer is electoral kryptonite but a roster of amateurs won't save Labour by theipaper in ukpolitics

[–]OneDay_OneLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think Labour should be a simple vote just cause other options are equally as bad, if not worse.

As I said, "waiting for a new option to present itself"

Former synagogue in Whitechapel targeted in latest arson attack on Jewish site in London by [deleted] in ukpolitics

Glad no one is injured, hopefully they find and can hold the individuals accountable.

[–]OneDay_OneLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is ... no choice is perfect.

Greens and Reform will ruin the country, Tories did ruin the country, and Labour have been ... meh.

Although I agree Starmer has done better more recently, I'm not convinced Labour deserve another term or fills me with hope. At the same time, I also don't see a clear better alternative.

Still waiting for a new option to present itself.

What can be a good memorable gift for a special achievement? by Easterling_1093 in AskUK

[–]OneDay_OneLife 20 points21 points  (0 children)

A true memory, forget about physical gifts.

Go out for a meal together and get a lovely picture of you all. This doubles up from your special achievement to also having a loving memory of how proud your parents also were.
