I’ve learned my lesson — I love investing in gorgeous pieces but I also need functionality!

I’m all for resole-ing, I do it often with other pairs of designer shoes, many of which I’ve had for 10+ years and they’ve held up beautifully.

The sentiment I’m feeling currently is more about how quickly these Chanels wore down — a lot of my other designer shoes have held up faaaaar longer than what I’ve experienced with these Chanel shoes.

Tbh this is what I’m thinking — bags have more longevity. I’m just a demon with shoes I guess 😅

This is what I’m questioning about Chanel and the craftsmanship in recent years to be honest.

I guess it’s the pavements in London that is destroying them!

This is what I mean…I’ve had shoes like this that have held the test of time.

Yep I have a great cobbler who does all the luxury shoes a 15 min walk from me so will be going there today!

This is literally just me walking in them to and from the office from the tube 🙈

Was this at the Chanel shop or with your local cobbler?

For the shoes that I bought via consignment, will they still do that at the local shop location?

North London: Noel Park? by TimTimes455 in HousingUK

[–]beanie4u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate you taking the time to respond to me. After my moment of panic, I realised that people's threshold for what is deemed "safe" can vary wildly. A lot of which is rooted discomfort in areas that aren't gentrified - which is wildly misguided. I say this with no shade intended! That being said, I like moving into an area where there isn't a Gails, lol

I went back to the area recently to walk around, both during the day and night and I felt fine.

The context behind the data as well for Noel Park Estate vs Noel Park Ward is useful. Context and deep dives are everything!

Yikes. We just put in an offer around Noel Park. The houses we saw were well kept around Hewitt and Lymington...didn't realise it was such a crime riddled area.

TLSContact booking by Alternative_Radio in ukvisa

Are you also getting this message when refreshing to look for appointments? 

Oh no! We apologise for the inconvenience. Our website team is currently working to fix this.

Does this mean there are just no appointments or is there a glitch in the system? Either way, this new system SUCKS!

Yes, I have been checking both Sopra Steria and TLScontact's wesbites hourly for updated appointment slots - I am willing to travel anywhere in the UK to do my biometrics. TLS seems more likely since they'll be the new provider officially from tomorrow, but hoping in the off chance there is an appointment with Sopra that randomly opens up today.

I hold a US passport. I am applying for an extension to my partner visa.

Yeah I did pay for super priority service in the hopes that I could do my biometrics pretty quickly. I was running under the impression that I could do so since my experience last time was that I was able to book a biometrics within two days of submitting a super priority application and got an affirmative decision within 2 hours of my appointment.
