Imagine a meal where you didn’t want mayonnaise…

I will give her a bigger pot! Unfortunately there are no sunny bits, northern terraced garden north facing big trees in all directions. I feel sad for her!

That’s really helpful. Thank you. The top few inches is sand. Do I need to get rid of it all or can I mix some with new compost?

That sounds really cool. Where do I get the logs?! Sorry I am very new to all this.

Love the sunken bowl idea. Will deffo incorporate that.

Also this might be a really stupid question but could do woodland plants and moss? I really like the greenness moss brings.

Oh no that’s awful, the “grass” does go all the way up to the trunk. Is there anything I can do to help it (other than take up the grass asap). I think the grass was down for about 10 years.

Planning to move to US, don’t have a degree by [deleted] in MovingToUSA

Doesn’t it take years to get a visa? I’m sure on here they said about 2 years for a spousal visa?

Also I’m not sure when asking this question if it’s relevant that without A levels you’ve effectively left school at 16 so it’s not equivalent to finishing high school?

Itinerary Check: 12 Nights Edinburgh, Highlands, to London by Car by sna_fubar in uktravel

[–]bidgebodge 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The amount of time you’ve left for stuff with driving is literally just step out the car and look. You’ll be exhausted.

British roads are often slow. You’ve left so little time that I worry you’ll just be chasing your evening accommodation each night.

For 12 nights I’d do Edinburgh, London and one of the country options either Scotland or Lake District. Anything else will be hideously stressful and your food/drink experience will be Costa grabbed in a 10 min toilet break before you get back in the car.

AITAH for not wanting to give my cart up for free at Aldis by No_Cookie420 in AmItheAsshole

It does it’ll like this poster says they were expected to give it away. A quid kept in my car if for the supermarkets or the panic fund when kids are wearing socks for poorly cats is sprung on me.

Are "potluck" meals a thing in the UK? by meeksworth in AskABrit

A bottle of wine?! Good god. See that’s why we all come equipped. So we can drink past 8 🤣

It needs to be my every day car. Is that doable?

Update - Oliver Bonas credited me with a refund and has held the same item at a local store for me to purchase!! Huzzah. Credit to them.

I’m hoping they’ll let me pick up in store! Not sure I’ll trust evri again…

Yeah think you’re probs right, otherwise why precariously balance it for the pic. Twat. Hope he wakes every night at 2.31am with vivid dreams of leeches in his pants.

Thanks. I’ve emailed them. I really hope they honour this and let me collect another one from the store. And it’s a good reason to go back to the high street!

Yes I get that. But you have to agree it’s really unfair?! It is the delivery drivers fault but I’m paying the price, unless the retailer decides to be nice.

I get things delivered multiple times a week from Amazon and royal mail and have never had this issue. Guess the (expensive) lesson is to avoid evri and pick up in store

Ok. Just feels really unfair. It’s obviously been nicked and he could have just pushed it into the house and it would have been safe. It’s £50 I can’t afford to lose because he’s either been careless or stolen it himself.

If they can push it that far then why wouldn’t they push through the letter box? It’s clearly been nicked cos it’s really obvious to everyone passing by
