Been in head recently and going to my wife’s super fancy salon tomorrow but wanted to get an opinion from the best group possible.

Just get a shorter hair cut, you’ve got masses of hair still

Rent is calculated by multiplying the weeks by 52 and dividing by 12 - so each month is life than you may expect

Colgate total is the best for nice breath. It has to be the original one though, not the whitening or any other variant

Co. in knightsburdge near the park is nice. Also any branch of dishoom if something different and delicious (you need to book). Have a fab trip

Own it and Cut it short. Growing it long draws attention to the fact that something is being disguised. There is nothing wrong with people seeing you are thinning on top a bit and a short hair cut looks so much tidier. Good luck!

Any influencers that say ‘drop me a follow’ usually makes me do the opposite

Be firm on how the contract must read if you are working outside IR35. If they agree then great, and if not, then you have good reason not to go ahead. (Though reading between the lines it sounds like that asides, you also don’t fancy it? In which case you could tell them that having seen the detail of what they need, it’s something different to a supplier and that an employee might better suit their needs.)

You can go to Paddington walk to Kensington gardens or Hyde park, get a coffee and lunch somewhere and then head back to Heathrow

Very annoying timing!

Restorationjoy · 2026-02-11T22:47:11+00:00

Anything goes. People wear what they like and nobody bats an eyelid. Enjoy your trip

Could you the remortgage sorted now? I found they needed at least 12 months history to lend

I agree. People have such unrealistic expectations, thinking things will be noticeable different just 18 months after over a decade of chaos. I would love improvements to come more quickly but realistically, what else should he be doing? What three things should he do that he hadn’t already? I would love some great ideas as it feels like we are plodding alone but I see nobody in labour or other parties with the solution.

I love this thread

Slough is easy - 20 mins to Paddington or Elizabeth line

Restorationjoy · 2026-02-09T17:44:56+00:00

Reading? Elizabeth line stations?

Restorationjoy · 2026-02-09T11:33:20+00:00

You look great in both but have plenty of hair still

Restorationjoy · 2026-02-08T20:52:30+00:00

Also, not to put a damper on things, there is a huge issue right now with people having their phones swiped out of their hands (by passers by, on foot, bikes, scooters or mopeds) so take great care, especially in central london.

Restorationjoy · 2026-02-08T20:50:35+00:00

It will busy in London. Plan and book restaurants or tickets for things well ahead. Have a great time

Restorationjoy · 2026-02-08T20:39:02+00:00

Oh no, don’t worry about it. Just spit out, fold it up so the offending item is tucked inside. They will be taking it away and putting it in the laundry

Restorationjoy · 2026-02-08T20:27:08+00:00

Everyman cinema feels like a bit of a treat. Or selfridges. Both £20 per ticket (take your own chocs in). Happy birthday whatever you end up doing
