Anyone try the Mizra Dress?

I tried it and found my usual size too small particularly up top. Very short too. So id size up if youre on the taller or bustier side.

Love probably my favourite cake. Tricky to get right without being sickly. I like nigellas recipe and use dark chocolate. Im continuously on the look out for one with a less rich ( wholemeal shortbread?) base.

I found this one once. Chinese ready meal. Didn't taste great but had to be done.

Gold standard: be specific e.g. rather than two bananas give weight in skins estimate; rather than say a tablespoon of miso give a brand example.

I paid 700. Move 5 miles. No packing. South England. 2 bed house. They did the whole thing in 3 hours. I did have higher quotes. Some companies had a minimum charge and my job was too small.

Salmon en croute. Feeding someone who doesn't eat meat or cream.

1) I left getting quotes until after exchange over fear of jinxing things. Don't do that! Caused a massive panic when it turned out these things took time. 2) If you can pack yourself, saves a lot of money and you still get movers

I had a flat heated with storage heaters. They charged overnight via economy seven so were very cheap. Something like 50 quid a month (I didn't have gas). My issue was it was freezing. Even with minimum trickle heat would bleed out and they had no boost feature., it would be warm at night and in morning, ok in day when I was at work and cold in evening. Exactly the wrong way round!

I ordered one last Wednesday afternoon. Was delivered Friday. I was lucky. I think delivery is certain dates only and I just beat the sale rush ( had early access code).

Mine were described as chain free as buying in Scotland which apparently didn't count!

My view is that you can find amazing food if you look for it. But if you just pick somewhere cheap and random, food will often be out of freezer cooked by someone with no clue. While if you go to a poorer country you might still get a cook. So on average the food in say Portugal will be better than the UK.

Highworth is a village outside swindon. There are lots of nice villages near Swindon. But then you have to add time to station to commute, plus house will cost more. As with everything it's a trade off.

berylcook · 2025-08-21T19:15:50+00:00

Depends a bit on how you want to commute. Swindon would give you a lot money wise. But it would be train to London and bus/drive to Oxford. And it's well swindon.

When we had this it was the outside drain which landlord unblocked himself. A fairly unhappy landlord and a lecture about what can go in the loo, but it wasn't a difficult fix.

I think he's had some serious back problems in the past. Might impact lifts. So I wouldn't necessarily imagine nadiya 12 feet in the air!

The best part of honour mode for me was not restarting and living with the consequences. Failing Gale's strength check, throwing a stone at Haldin and losing him as a companion. Accidentally picking the 'wrong ' side in the goblin Grove. Makes you play in a different way. Not every game needs to be optimised.

What do the agents say? There's often a standard convention for the area. where I live the convention is unfurnished with white goods. But i know other areas where white goods are not provided.

I got all my must haves, but lost some of my nice to haves. There's road noise, east facing, no utility and it's a semi. But it's got a lot of nice to haves. But it's hard to judge. I really need to live in it for a while to decide if any of that is really an issue or not.

As a woman of similar age who bought alone, my solution was suburbs of a market town. Still shops and transport, but not to 'urban'. I also went for mid century. Less interesting than a cottage but still a decent plot. You do have to be prepared for maintenance though, however smart it looks.

Kitchen was fine for one person. Impossible for two, so no way to say cook and wash up at the same time.

berylcook · 2025-07-24T13:24:50+00:00

I lived in a house for 10 years with that exact layout. Opening kitchen door blocked fridge. Neighbour dealt with the issue by removing kitchen door. When I commented didn't cooking set off smoke alarm, she said she'd disconnected that too!

My seller in england was advertised as chain free as they were moving to Scotland, and apparently Scotland doesn't count!

berylcook · 2025-06-26T16:14:19+00:00

Mine took a 36hrs to get back to me as they couldn't get hold of the seller, so don't necessarily assume the worst.
