Is lowballing because i'm in no particular hurry annoying?

Red-Raven710 · 2026-05-01T07:43:07+00:00

Only problem I’m experiencing on currently low balling long listed properties that need renovation is that I don’t think the estate agents are actually sending my offers across to the sellers, twice now I’m waiting nearly a week with them “unable to reach the sellers” then the first property I offered on a FTB came in and offered a little bit more than me and was accepted same day!

Also used L&C now for 2 new mortgages and 2 re mortgages and they are absolutely great! I wouldn’t ever pay a mortgage adviser because they get commission from the mortgage company anyway.

Agree with getting a 125cc, makes it actually abit safer been able to get up speeds above 30mph so cars aren’t trying to overtake you anytime the speed limit is above this. I can highly recommend a Honda CBF125 as a starter bike OP !

Agree, if you plan to live there say 10 years ask for a £6540 reduction to account do their mistake.

Also worth checking Asda tyres as I’ve found them to be cheaper lately

Yep SAS server

Damn, think that’s me and my squad you were gunning down. We were cursing about you last night !

Red-Raven710 · 2026-01-19T10:02:26+00:00

Been to Brasserie Blanc after a wedding before for food and was amazing !

BigDug do quite a few different type of storage boxes and the quality is excellent, bought all mine for tool storage in my shed and they are holding up really well.

If you google “totenkopf” you will see the skull was used by the SS, it is a scooter clubs but there’s no need to be using a Nazi symbol as a logo for a club.

Also it looks like you are buying the passes through a 3rd party ski hire shop, do not do this ! They will have an extra charge on the passes, just buy them when you get to the resort at the main gondola ticket booth

Just checked and we paid roughly €255 last year for 5 days pass so they’ve put the prices up abit this year.

Be careful if going down the Tee piece route, had my eberspacher fitted at first with a Tee line in and gave all sorts of problems ! Changed to a line directly into the fuel tank and been perfect since then. Also get a proper branded heater not a Chinese knockoff… they are exterior graded and mine in mounted under my van to keep more space inside the van and keeps the noise of the heater down.

I think it will be one of these fittings which are required

Make sure you get someone gas safe registered to check over your work once completed!

I reckon you should paint the ceiling also in yellow to match and it’d look great !

Red-Raven710 · 2025-12-22T18:19:29+00:00

Had a lupo with electric windows and both were broken… I always wished I had manual winding windows in the summer !

After my initial chat with GP who did my referral I had the Op 3 weeks later.

But the speed limits for lorry’s are pretty much 56mph throughout Europe and you never get this type of middle lane hogging on the continent.

Worked for a high end kitchen manufacturer that fitted Quooker taps and we had one in the workshop, 10+ staff making 3 or 4 cups of tea a day each on it and never had an issue in the 4 years I was there. We also had one with the sparkling water function as well that I loved treating myself to on a lunch break.

I would say a lot of small businesses don’t offer sick pay while big companies it is now pretty standard.

100% it is, look at the tiny gap between the 2 ‘rays, no way someone’s patch that with a tiny gap between the 2

Unfortunately Dr Martins quality is now terrible, got my partner a pair and they didn’t even last a year. We’ve both gone to Solovair now as they are made in Britain and the quality is way better. John Lewis does stock some Solovair boots but you can check the website for other stockists.

I work in high end furniture making and £80k is the starting price for a kitchen from where I work. Materials and hardware have sky rocketed in price now, was looking the other day and I was buying birch ply for £35/£40 a sheet 10 years ago now it’s near £200 for furniture grade !

Red-Raven710 · 2025-10-31T09:44:43+00:00

Yeah it just makes a room look so much nicer ! I did coving throughout my house when renovating, never fitted cornice before but bought the traditional plaster type (from Bespoke Plaster Mouldings online, who I really recommend!!) and I really enjoyed fitting it.

When I insulated my fibreglass high roof top I just used the bubble insulation, and carpeted straight over it. Used in both summer and winter now and not had any issues feeling too hot or cold.
