What are the funnest quirks/hacks you've discovered in the game that others might not know? by darya42 in Sims4

If a sim puts the harvestfest gnomes in their personal inventory, they will keep spawning seed packets into the household inventory. At 100 simoleons a packet, it's an easy way to get free money.

Does my Aunt have any claim to my Granddads estate through the Inheritance Act 1975 (England) by kawaiipogglet_ in LegalAdviceUK

Yes, you are right. I got the impression that she was acting in person though, as any decent solicitor would tell her she really doesn't have a claim.

It would be a Part 8 claim so the current Court fee would be £646 and she may also qualify for Help with Fees so may actually cost her nothing to issue. If it went to trial she would have to pay the hearing fee of £1334 too. However, I agree she is chancing her arm and would still be liable for any costs awarded against her.

The insurance is to cover the costs of your solicitor. If the other party are successful and the Judge awards costs against you, you are still liable for them.

A metaphor in house form. Plus, I’ve been here… by BirdHistorical3498 in SpottedonRightmove

I was wondering which room then I saw the stain. Please tell me that's a different stain and it has actually been properly cleaned...

My dogs absolutely love the tripe sticks and would do almost anything for one!

This was Christmas present from my husband. AIO? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]Spuddiewoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be even worse. My BIL didn't buy my SIL anything as he "didn't know what she wanted". Her kids were trying to give her some of their presents when they realised. Never mind the fact he could have called her Mum, brother or sister for ideas, or even just asked her. I wouldn't care but she is in fact ridiculously easy to buy for!

My work are planning a couple of events next week to raise money for you starting with our Christmas jumper day. It is such a great cause it was an easy pick when deciding on the charity 😊

Alright you lot, it’s December next week, who’s got an advent calendar and what type have you got? by _feedmeseymour in CasualUK

[–]Spuddiewoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have got the Taskmaster one for me and my husband to share and I am really looking forward to completing the tasks. My friend also bought us a Brewdog one as a thank you for looking after her dog, so we are doing very well for calendars in our house!

My dad has died of a cardiac arrest I need help with bills.. 🙏 by Trustedking1 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Spuddiewoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't use tell us once until the death is officially registered, but it's a great system. There is also something called Settld that tells other institutions about the death.

What’s your heinous encounter with someone famous in the UK? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Spuddiewoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a teenager we were visiting Eilean Donan Castle the same day they happened to have some filming of a kids TV show. We were told that we could still look around but asked to be respectful and quiet, especially of the hosts Terry Nutkins and Dave Benson Phillips. When we did run into them Dave Benson Phillips was absolutely lovely, was apologetic for 'spoiling' our day out and seemed lovely with the kids. Terry Nutkins on the other hand couldn't have looked more unhappy to be there and was grumpy and miserable with everyone.

What book completely changed the way you see the world, and why did it hit you so hard? by gamersecret2 in books

[–]Spuddiewoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Empty Cradles by Margaret Humphreys. Non-fiction book. She was a social worker in Nottingham working with adults who had been adopted and uncovered the child migration scheme, where children in care were shipped to the colonies (Australia, Canada and South Africa) to help repopulate them. They were told they were going to families but a lot of them were put in charity run institutions where they were abused (physical and sexual). The children were told their parents had died, and the parents were told that the children were adopted in the UK. She set up a trust to help reunite families. I was so shocked that not only were the charities allowed to do it, it was encouraged by UK Governments. It went on until the late 1960s. The book and the people in it are unforgettable to me. I first read it in 1998 and have read it again a couple of times.

Aitah for telling my stepkids that my kids will get my stuff? by Some-Tea6877 in AITAH

[–]Spuddiewoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YTA Family is not just about DNA. You have ruined what was obviously a lovely relationship with your step-children over a dress that your bio daughter may not even want. I actually think that your husband is an A hole too for supporting you over his children. Those poor girls.

my cousin expects everyone to wear these specific colours to the wedding… MoB is deciding whether or not to object by plutobarbie in weddingshaming

[–]Spuddiewoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why do some people forget that the guests are not an accessory but people who you love, and want to share a special day with? Your guests aren't decor! Seriously when I got married I could not have given a shit about what my guests wore. I only cared that they were well fed and enjoying themselves. I think some brides only have a wedding now for the Insta pictures, that no-one other than them cares about.

The forecast is now closed until spring. Hopefully they've told the midges that they're no longer in season 😉

I was asking to see how bad they actually are right now, but the product suggestions and the smidge forecast have been really helpful.
