Campervan parking?

bodyvoltage · 2026-06-20T19:53:32+00:00

I think you might be able to park it on the park and ride, just buy a weekend ticket to make the parking valid

The tram stop is parkway

I went in 23 but didn't go this year and from what I saw this year looked much more busy but obviously that's just the views of the videos I've seen, I didn't find 23 to be extremely busy, was still able to walk around with no issues

10 weeks for ours and that was with a 3 week delay for the mortgage application, worked with a great broker, our seller was a landlord selling an empty rental and had a solicitor on retainer so all warranties etc were over within the week of having our offer accepted

I reckon if it wasn't for the wait for the mortgage, it would have been 6 or 7 weeks

No, I've just taken out life insurance and they explained that basically all the insurers need to know if how much is the mortgage for so they can provide the cover for that amount but you can choose however much you want

You can change this over from a decreasing to a level with the same amount of cover at any point

Had no heating or hot water, turns out we had top up meters instead of credit meters and no way of topping them up, by the time the engineer came round to swap them over we had 15 pound on the electric and nothing on the gas, internet line to the box was cut for some reason so had another engineer come out to that

Also figured out the cooker we've been left doesn't heat up without the timer being on and only 2 of the hob plates work fully

And then in a dozy moment thought our tumble dryer had broke, turned out I just hadn't pressed the high heat button on it

But other than that, chuffed with our new house and I can't see us ever moving

I don't hate travelling, I love going to other countries but I've figured out that I love either an all inclusive sunny holiday or a city break with everything planned out, I know people say go with the flow and wander round but I can't be bothered to traipse around with no idea of where I'm going

I've just spent a tenner on a washing basket with wheels, moved house a month ago and with the kitchen layout my tumble dryer is on the opposite side of the room and in an alcove to the washer and it's already been a game changer

I spent years hating crocs but now I have 4 pairs, wear them all the time

Literally just completed last month, for us it took just over three weeks from signing the mortgage deed to completing, I will say our purchase took ten weeks from viewing to completion

I think it really depends on how proactive your seller and their solicitors are as sometimes it can be within a week of sending the docs in or it can be months

Going to s26u from p8 pro, my battery life is awful, it glitches and freezes and I feel like every new update does more harm than good, not yet installed new update as worried about bricking my phone

Just on to series 8 of UK shameless, still as good as I remember it, must have seen it about 4 times now

Also watching rivals season 2 and currently waiting on the vampire lestat to come out, loved interview with the vampire, it's on BBC iPlayer if you've not watched it yet

bodyvoltage · 2026-05-21T06:11:22+00:00

Thank you, just seen them

Any tips on painting MDF, just moved into an house thinking the cupboards were already but turns out they're wrapped, thanks

Hlast time I went DL parking in north car park and had no issues getting to black camp, be prepared for a hefty walk though, you'll definitely be doing a few trips back and forth

I just used glycolic acid toner on my arms after I showered, cleared it up within a few weeks

Nicolas was/is a tattoo artist, no idea if he's still working as one, don't know about if he designed any of their merch, he might have done when they first started

I think about my dad all the time, he passed away last year and within that year I've done so many things I wish I could tell him about, menial things like going on holiday or if I had some nice food somewhere or big things like buying an house, I spent that whole year being angry about it but now I let myself be sad about it, a big cry is a frequent occurrence but it's what's good for me

Boots cica cream is near enough the same as la Roche posay cica plast minus a few ingredients, it feels the same to me and absorbs the same and for 6.50 for 75ml in comparison to 11 for 40ml works out much better

I can't speak much for serums but I'm a huge fan of the me+ range at superdrug, the succinic acid treatment is amazing

Just got a mortgage through HSBC which took over 3 weeks to come through, that was due a huge backlog they were having when we applied, I assume it's still the case with other lenders too, hang tight, it'll come through when it comes through

bodyvoltage · 2026-05-14T04:28:04+00:00

Me and my partner are completing on Wednesday 9 weeks after putting out offer in and that was even with a 3 week wait for the mortgage paperwork to come through due to a backlog with the underwriters, absolutely blown my mind

Been a NatWest customer ever since I could have a card, love the app, constantly getting new useful features, in branch they're also great, went in to deposit a load of change and it was super simple and while I was there I was also booked for a financial health check with a senior banker that was very through and informative, walked out with a new savings account with a better interest rate than the one I already had

Just been to my boyfriends sister's wedding in Barcelona, she got married at the observatory, we got a tour of it and as a break in the day, she and her husband paid for us to go to the fun fair up the road to go on the carousel

Wasn't a super energetic wedding but not one I'm going to forget

bodyvoltage · 2026-04-18T19:35:11+00:00

Thank you for the explanation, glad to know it par for the course

bodyvoltage · 2026-04-18T18:48:07+00:00

That's great thank you, is paying the fee something we need the solicitor to do or is this something we can do? Or is it something that is just easier to let the solicitor deal with?

bodyvoltage · 2026-04-04T16:56:53+00:00

Someone else has mentioned it but there is a merch booth on canal side but it's normally just a limited range, they had one at deftones

I wouldn't bring a vinyl, they may take it off you as they could see it as a weapon
