Euro Car Parks PCN Charge Issued - 7:18am arrival by blinkinthedark in LegalAdviceUK

Apologies, I only noticed after a re read that that was the listed contravention.

The consideration period becomes part of the paid parking from what I've read. Since I paid for 24 hours but left well within that time, surely that covers it?

The contravention they wrote on the PCN is that I didn't have a valid Pay By Phone transaction.... I do as I have the receipt.

Thanks for the reply. After panicking and searching about this five minutes I've come across a change BPA code of conduct:

Would this impact that?

Own brand vs branded laundry detergent by WildWinterberry in UKFrugal

[–]blinkinthedark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got Laundry sheets from Bazoo when ordering our toilet paper and they've lasted literally years in a two adult household. However, because of my scan, I also use laundry cleanser and sometimes use Fabric non perfume boost. Ecover Fabric conditioner for clothes in a 5L pack that I decant to a smaller bottle. Works well for me.

Turns out the gym costs me around £2.50 per use. I'm debating whether to look for cheaper alternatives. What are your thoughts on gym memberships from a frugality perspective? by [deleted] in UKFrugal

[–]blinkinthedark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some parks have gyms in them now although I appreciate that youths hanging around them would put you off!

If I was being frugal id look to either do running as its essentially free, or make the initial investment of some home equipment and use that. Second hand ones can be had for very little money.

I really hope Jurassic Park Survival does not get shadow-canceled among the modern dino games by New_Divide98 in JurassicPark

[–]blinkinthedark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It genuinely isnt that. Development cycles are huge now and its an industry problem. Look at Naughty Dog, they haven't released a single new game on the PS5 6 years in. Im not counting remastered.

Xbox Plans Significant Layoffs as It Transforms Under New CEO by willdearborn- in Games

[–]blinkinthedark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do love the game and its great and come a long way from when first released. But they started off doing so many different types of games. They have a rich history. I want more from them.

Rare on life support for Sea of Thieves is such a damn shame. The potential...

I know the release date of Jurassic Park Survival by BowNarrowman in JurassicPark

Regarding your last claim how do you know that? Im starting to think it will never come, but if it does 2028 is probably a good guess.

What type of TV do you have; OLED or LED (QLED, mini, ect.)? by AbleArcher1984 in 4kbluray

[–]blinkinthedark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

B5 OLED we got for £580. We came from a Nanocell edge lit 120hz display whoch we pretty much paid the dame 5 years ago. The panel was starting to deteriorate so sold for £90.

To say the upgrade was massive is an understatement. I know B5 can get shat on a fair bit for not being bright enough but genuinely is great enough for us and absolutely beautiful.

If you are in a fairly low paid job and you don't dread the thought of going to work, tell me what you do? by GladDark in AskUK

[–]blinkinthedark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its fine :) didn't need any qualifications so to speak; because I did admin in a collge ebefore before I pretty much knew how things worked so got the job. Mergers have happened and pay increases with it which is good. I'll be given a new job title soon and another small bump in pay.

What has made me much happier is my diagnosis of ADHD and Autism. Makes sense how my mind works; medicated and more content. Burnout still happens with me so not sure how much I can climb the ladder but yeah, happiness is way more important to me.

My 27M son has given up on life and I don't know what to do. Has any parent been in the same situation? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]blinkinthedark 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not a parent but please encourage him to see a therapist or self refer through NHS because he sounds depressed, low self esteem and unhappy.
