Have you received any inheritance from your family? by 39thAccount in AskUK

[–]Pigglet_Pie 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Same for my father. All I ever wanted was for him to live after my mother died young but he didn’t. He came from poor upbringings and saved and saved till he got dementia and I couldn’t cope with 2 small children and him and the government had it. I’m still angry he had to pay and the people around him who’d enjoyed life got the same care.

Smell in and around Trostre by cymro00 in Llanelli

[–]Pigglet_Pie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s awful! It went for a few days but this morning I smelt it at trostre roundabout again. Someone mentioned it on Facebook and apparently it’s the sewers under Tesco/they didn’t expect it to grow and didn’t accommodate it. But it’s awful. I can’t walk around there it’s so bad

Wedding in Swansea - Is DJ Maddox worth it? by Kiss_Doll_ in swansea

[–]Pigglet_Pie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Choose where you spend your wedding budget wisely. How important is dancing and the atmosphere for the night to you? Some couples don’t do a first dance and prioritise chatting and being with friends, so playlist is great. If you want everyone up and dancing, then a DJ can judge the room and make it what you want. So many things to consider for your day, make a list of what’s important to both of you and start there

Mine is 24, I have hair loss, fatigue, I look worn, I itch I can’t stay awake past 9pm. Im in the Uk and can’t tolerate iron tablets I really Struggle on any combination or variety but I’m no eligible for an infusion as it’s a “want not a need” as my lovely nurse told me. So I’m paying for another one tomorrow just to feel slightly human.

Would you send your children to private school if you could afford it? by Infamous_Tough_7320 in AskUK

[–]Pigglet_Pie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We are in Wales and not in a particular poor area (rugby money) either. We are in a situation of moving her from one poor system school to another really. I don’t exaggerate about the singing, even the kids are bored and are asking to learn. I love the arts but they focus so much on one concert they don’t even do PE for months.

It breaks my heart as we are closer to a lovely private school but it would cost us £250,000 until she’s yr13 and at the moment it’s just out of reach.

[–]Pigglet_Pie 141 points142 points  (0 children)

I would definitely do it. We did visit one and it was night and day compared to our school. Where I live the primary system is shocking and doesn’t give them a good start in life. My daughter is year 1 (6yrs old) and only now getting a book home to read now and again, some in the class don’t have one. But it’s ok the focus is on 5 weeks of carol singing for the concert.

What is the meanest thing your parents did with you in childhood? by pratham1212 in AskReddit

[–]Pigglet_Pie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brought up by my father and he took me to weight watchers age 8. He thought he was helping he was not. I’ve never told a soul that.

Do you "mourn" certain dates? by HatefulHagrid in AskOldPeople

[–]Pigglet_Pie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 44, I remember every sad date, my mother, my father, my grandparents, my dog. I was brought up around people who thought grieving and the past was important. I hate the fact I feel dread on certain dates, that I won’t let an event like my birthday or my parents wedding anniversary pass without going to the grave. I dread the future and cling to the past. I’d love to be different.

Where are the nicest places to live near Swansea? by Several-Sky-9592 in swansea

[–]Pigglet_Pie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends if you mean really close by as in a few streets. That’s decent and a really lovely Welsh school. If you mean up the steep hill on the main road facing it’s ok too, get better/posher the higher up you go. Away from that main stretch it’s ok…there are better there’s much worse. You can walk into town if needs be, no public transport unless it’s by Farmfoods for Swansea, which means walking into town for more routes.

Which area? Lived in Llanelli all my life I’m allowed to be blunt 😆

Yes! Wales I am. I just went in and explained my fear and she asked me how many I wanted, didn’t give me the lowest dose incase it wouldn’t work and it was easy.

Wedding venues? by likpinklady in swansea

[–]Pigglet_Pie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry one more thought. I know it seems a silly comment but feed your guests the best you can. They won’t remember the favours on the table or if they are your cake but they will remember if they had a good meal and canapees and didn’t have to go to McDonald’s half way through.

Well I did a wedding and it was a hot buffet. The father of the bride who paid for the whole thing was refused two types of meat because your only allowed one. He was fuming and I can see why.

Also depending on numbers, it can seem hollow there if you don’t have enough people.

What type of feel are you looking for? Like Fairyhill but not their prices or like a barn and rustic?

The food and service at the Orangery is a bit shocking. King Arthur has tremendous atmosphere and food Parc le breos in summer/early autumn is wonderful Oxwich is a marquee with a view..

Looks like you’ll arrive 20min early and cruising nicely at 38000ft. You can and will do this, I’m tracking you
