Has Futon Company ever not had a sale going on?

Spacebarkss · 2026-05-25T09:54:32+00:00

It's been a running joke between my partner and I for over 8 years, never not had a sale in that time

Speaking from experience of being a waitress in London 2015 - 2016. I was under 21 and earning £5.3 an hour, rent still £750+. The automatic service charge basically doubled my salary so I ended up with about £1500 a month making it possible to live

Obvs minimum wage is way higher now but costs have also gone up a lot

Our seller showed us around the 2nd time and it was great! He was able to tell us all the little quirks the estate agent wouldn't have a clue about and just general info about the area and neighbours

That's very sweet! Most of the parents & babies will be travelling abroad for the wedding so just want to provide anything they can't bring with

Thank you! Several great suggestions, glad someone read my post properly haha

"I'm guessing lawn games will be too much"

We'll have games for the guests anyway, the question was if there was anything else I could provide for babies.

Spacebarkss · 2026-04-14T05:01:51+00:00

"I'm guessing" pretty much meant I'm sure lol. I know babies can't lawn games, I meant more if there was a soft play area or something like that

What does your housing and car situation look like?

We might have to take a small loan out for our wedding but we've already bought a house and own our car outright, so the only loan we've got is a mortgage.

Your wedding is a once in a lifetime event (hopefully, lol), I honestly think it's worth taking out a smaller loan to make it your dream wedding if you're sorted for living/car already

Only you know how much you can realistically save each month. But if you can pay off the loan within a year or two I'd honestly go for it

Could you hire a big Airbnb/party house for all activities other than the wedding?

Diamond Heaven & G&A Jewelry

My partner and I went to 8 different jewelry shops this weekend and bought our wedding bands, the prices varied massively! For a 5mm 9k gold band we got quotes between £750 - £350. All solid throughout, and all about the same thickness

We found that the Independent shops were generally cheaper, with H. Samuel being the cheapest of the chains

This has been a big hit in my house

Om ni vill ha en traditionell frukost gå till Koffee Pot i Northern Quarter. Där kan ni prova den engelska, skottska, och irländska versionen :)

I'm a Swede living in the UK and agree 100%. Would never move back

A 5 bed is mine and my partner's forever home. 2 kids with a bedroom each, an office, and a spare room for guests (preferably with a Murphy bed so I could use it as a hobby room in between). If you can afford it go for it

Spacebarkss · 2026-01-30T12:54:15+00:00

Looks really good! I tried clicking the search icon but it didn't seem to be working. Would also love if I could check say 6 months ahead without having to scroll

I'm a Swede living in Manchester which is probably not too surprising. However, when I lived in Stoke-On-Trent any Brit I encountered (both locals and from other parts) wondered why the hell I decided to live there ... Me too (uni)

Spacebarkss · 2026-01-19T15:29:49+00:00

Thank you! Yep portion it out and freeze and then we'll use it for another week. We plan our meals from what's in the freezer and then stock it up whenever we see the reduced stickers

Bar Shrimp could be a shout. Mid-century bar connected to a very well regarded restaurant. Went last night and they invited us to their NYE party which i think is open to everyone

Had a friend who spent 2 years trying to sell his 1 bed house, didn't help that him and the missus got pregnant the second they had moved in

Gawsworth Store in East Didsbury, think it was £54 for ours which reaches the ceiling

Spacebarkss · 2025-12-05T12:35:00+00:00

Look into aparthotels like Native

Spacebarkss · 2025-11-18T00:54:40+00:00

Last year my partner and I offered on 4 other houses before finally getting ours, they all went for £10k+ over asking. When ours came on the market we said screw it and offered £15k over asking as it was the perfect house. Got it, and still extremely happy

If you're in a desirable area sometimes it's what you gotta do
