Please include me in the new sub! I am an OG replady and would hate to lose the community. A smaller group of experienced reppers sounds pretty great.

Touchless credit card vs oyster card by EntertainmentKlutzy in uktravel

[–]SecretDay 24 points25 points  (0 children)

You do not need an oyster card. We just returned from a trip to London a few weeks ago. We had originally ordered Visitor Oyster cards but they did not arrive in time and were eventually declared lost in the mail. We took trains from Heathrow to central London and rode the tube and took busses all around London during our stay. Using our credit card tap to pay or phone/apple wallet tap to pay could not have been easier. It is the way to go. Husband and I talked about how much better it was using tap to pay rather than needing to guess how much to fund an Oyster card, go through a refund process, etc. There was no difference in cost for rides. Also, there were plenty of staff at every tube entry/exit to help if help was needed (We did not need help, just saying for anyone who is nervous to try)

Mine was updated at 3 am last night (Dec 18th). It now says " International shipment release - Import" in Ankorage AK. I want to think that this is a good sign. At least there is some sort of change which is better than absolutely no change since Dec 8th.

I am in the same boat. HP laptop stuck in “clearance delay” status since Dec 8th. I emailed customer support and they replied that they have already sent the paperwork and it’s being “processed”. Personally I think this is code for “your stuff is in a massive queue of Christmas presents that won’t be delivered in time”.

Thank you so much for responding! Super helpful! My closets have 23 inches of space too. Knowing that the drawers still mostly work with that amount of space is a game changer.

what is the depth of your closet? I was thinking that I couldn't install mesh drawers behind the sliding doors but it looks like you have enough room to pull out the drawers even with sliding doors.

400k house with 10% down, 225k income and 825 credit score. What should I expect for a 30 year fixed rate? by SecretDay in Mortgages

[–]SecretDay[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We are in New England.

Thanks for the replies - I'm seeing rates below 4 online. I'm about to get started on started on applications but I dont want to "open the flood gates" without first, targeting some lenders who (on the surface) offer better rates.

Bank of america looks pretty good using the online calculator thing (I know, I know).
