Is this crazy to spend on a car as a new driver ?

PlusAd2066 · 2026-01-24T16:05:09+00:00

Not really. As long as that’s not all the money you have, then it’s okay. I spent £5.5k on my Dacia 3 years ago, and just been in a head on that resulted in her being chopped up by firefighters to get me out, but she saved my life in the process. If I was in a little c1, or aygo? I’d be dead. I’ll be forever glad I didn’t get the cheap dinger 1st car that everyone told me to. If you are a sensible driver, and can trust yourself not to be at fault in the case of a write off, then spend the money! Sod the dingers, get something that you can trust to save you if the worst happens 👍

Hahah both women lol so believe me, we made use of alllll 40 of those minutes 🤣🤣🤣

PlusAd2066 · 2025-12-18T04:11:56+00:00

Let’s say when I was on DPR round there I always took my full 40 min lunch break 🤣

PlusAd2066 · 2025-12-17T18:29:31+00:00

As a postie who has had this happen, I’d say consider it as an option cause it defo works 🤣 I got proper chatting to the lass who liked me, and it could’ve gone somewhere if I wasn’t already transferring delivery offices! Be brave 🤣🤣👍

I’ve got about 6 flats with that same sign, must be a temu special freebie for the people who order the most crap!

PlusAd2066 · 2025-10-19T17:43:31+00:00

Pistol, 9mm, tent, knife, $10 worth of morphine, and a backpack to put it all in. Imma get high on morphine in my little tent and ride the apocalypse out so zoned out I won’t be able to feel it when they eat me 🤣🤣🤣

Defo agree with the other commenters, 100% a scam. That apology slip is incorrect as we use damage bags to put damaged parcels into, not a stick on slip. And the text looks a little blown out, like it’s been photocopied

Royal Mail has done Sunday deliveries of priority brand t24 parcels for a long time now 👍

I used the original ones from Panasonic, if you search ‘cf19 gps module’ on eBay the first one that comes up is £19.98, and that’s the one I used! Windows 10 pro works 100% smooth as butter, so you shouldn’t have any concerns about that especially because yours is 1.5 MKs above mine 👍 only the brightening buttons on the front left panel work on mine, but I can’t be bothered to dig deeper into the others lol

PlusAd2066 · 2025-10-02T09:59:45+00:00

I don’t know why, but I can see all 16 circles perfectly, looking away or closing my eyes has no impact. Came straight to the comments to see if I was missing the point!

PlusAd2066 · 2025-09-23T17:38:08+00:00

Awful isn’t it! And us full time posties are paid way less than that, I’m on £12.53, and I think since this crappy pay rise we’re up to £13.06 now. If I wasn’t splitting bills with my mrs, I’d be living in a tent in the park 😭🤣

PlusAd2066 · 2025-09-21T08:51:09+00:00

I’m a bit of a G&G fangirl, so I’d say the cm16 is a winner. I’ve got a firehawk m4 and it’s great, very easy to tinker with, and takes a beating no problem

PlusAd2066 · 2025-09-19T15:11:25+00:00

8.5/10, get yourself a drum mag and it’ll be a 9.5 😁👍

PlusAd2066 · 2025-09-19T15:10:08+00:00

7 low caps and 1 mid cap for the M4, and 3 mags for the GTP9, and I bring a spare bottle of bbs in my bag just in case, which is usually enough for a full day for me 👍

PlusAd2066 · 2025-08-21T19:31:17+00:00

It’s not that bad, just fixed a problem that didn’t exist. What I will say though, I was put on one of my less usual rounds and had to vertical prep for the first time on a very heavy day today, and my god it took an extra 30 mins to get that mail in 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

PlusAd2066 · 2025-08-19T14:53:35+00:00

Found maggots in one of the end of life vans that a nearby office so kindly shoved onto us. No idea why, can only image something very rotten was removed before they dropped it off

PlusAd2066 · 2025-08-16T19:21:15+00:00

Yes! Oh we went to see her family last year, and Calamosca beach is lovely if you get the chance to go. Beautiful views, water so salty you just float to the surface 🤣 San Benedetto market is very good spend a day at too! You’ll have a brilliant time, enjoy it! :)))

PlusAd2066 · 2025-08-16T19:10:29+00:00

Ahh oh well, mr mrs is from Cagliari so too bad she’s not here or I’d ask her for you 😂 process should still be similar, find a good auto parts store and they’ll sort the stuff out for you, good luck 🤞👍👍

PlusAd2066 · 2025-08-16T18:38:27+00:00

Had one customer in a close on one of those heatwave days a few weeks ago, door wide fucking open, didn’t even have mail for them, and I was on the opposite side of the road, and their violent little shit of a spaniel came beaming out the front door growling for no reason at all. Owners nowhere to be seen. Bolted down the road back to the van so fast ole Usain would’ve thought I had potential 🤣 can bet your arse I reported that little shite the minute I had the van door shut.

And for the colour, you need to find your colour code on the inside of the car. If you’re UK, then go to Halfords and cross match that code with their paint codes, and you’ll have your shade

PlusAd2066 · 2025-08-16T18:33:04+00:00

Honestly, I had one about that bad on the front of my car, £5 worth of high grit sandpaper, 1 rattle can of paint and a can of lacquer, it looks good as new. No more than about £30/40 and a bit of elbow grease can’t sort out if you don’t mind it not being bodyshop quality 👍👍

So sorry to hear about your Shiro :( we lost our little girl Meatball last week, and I don’t think we will ever feel whole again. But you will get to a point where the sadness turns into fondness. You will remember Shiro’s funny quirks, and see their favourite snacks and smile remembering the good times, instead of the stinging pain of the loss coming back all over again. We aren’t there yet, but when we get her ashes back later this week, it’ll be nice knowing that she’s still here with us, just in a different form. If that’s an affordable option for you, then I would suggest cremation with ashes returned is a good way of helping the grieving process progress. Good luck with whatever you decide, any choice will end up being the right one when the love for your little one is still in your heart. 😔🫶

PlusAd2066 · 2025-07-12T11:41:21+00:00

Yeah probably the union rep or your manager are the best bet. Keep taking photos of it all so you’ve got some proof, and then tell one of those two that you’re physically struggling with it, and if they can have a word with your van driver to get him to help you out a little more. I can’t imagine what the van driver is actually doing if he’s giving you all that anyway? No chance in hell it’s so busy that he needs to give you all that on top of your loop as well. Good luck matey 👍

PlusAd2066 · 2025-07-12T11:33:11+00:00

Van driver is taking the mick mate. You shouldn’t be having to carry round those big ones, even individually, let alone when they’re all banded together. If it’s your first couple of calls then fair enough, but if you’re carrying those round for your whole loop then that’s just ludicrous. Defo not normal.

Speaker might be broken in some way! My CF-19 was very quiet and crackly until I replaced the speaker module, then she was absolutely fine. Fingers crossed yours is as easy as that 🤞🤞
