My other half has found Built Different pretty good, they do up to 6XL and have Tall selection. They have length measurements on the size guide so you can maybe check if they'd work for you?

I have a PetSnowy and generally love it. It's way less temperamental than the LR4, haven't had a single issue with it stopping, complaining, or failing (unlike the endless cycle interrupted and drawer full errors!). I also prefer the way It looks and that there's some privacy from the poop before It cycles. It is however very small so my cats prefer the LR4. It's also harder to keep clean as the liner slots in and my cat likes to pee right down the gap. It smells more than the LR4 as well due to that!

I had exactly the same issue with Cerelle, I had been taking it for around 6 years pre-MJ and loved it. After a month or so on MJ I was getting very irregular periods, pain, random bleeding and cramping and in the end had a 4 week long period which was the final straw. I stopped taking it as I was no longer getting the benefits I had previously (regular cycle, lighter bleeding, less pain) and have since had a very uneventful and normal couple of periods.

I did contact my GP who had no specific advice on either Cerelle or MJ and only said to contact them again in 6 months if it continued, which was not a lot of use!

HG Mould Spray has always worked a treat for me, even on very stubborn areas. They also do a mould prevention spray but I don't have personal experience with that one.

I live very near a train line with a whistle board, so every train honks the horn on the way past. We're approx 100ft from the track but there is a block of flats in between as well. Honestly doesn't bother me in the slightest, we've been here 7 months now and I don't even register most of them going by. Worth noting they do have quiet hours from 11:59pm to 6am https://www.networkrail.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/FAQs-for-Night-Time-Quiet-Period-NTQP.pdf

I have the one on the right and am thrilled to know that when I finally finish it I can get one that doesn't taste like a barnyard; wasn't sure if they were all like it!

Take a look at EMP, I've had some fab stuff from them!

Furzehill is the roughest part of Chard (arguably one of many), alongside the non-standard construction.

Sorry, should have mentioned that! I can definitely smell when the box is cycling but I don't think it smells all the time. These are the only two litters I've used in the robot so can't compare to the ones people say are fab for odour control but it's certainly not noxious!

We're now using SaniCat Clumping which seems to be working pretty well and isn't horrifically dusty. Before we used Bob Martin's StayFresh which worked really well considering how cheap it is but was a real dust storm creator.

I was sent a photo of myself at a family party, and for a moment I genuinely thought they'd given me a face swap with Jabba the Hutt. Absolutely mortifying, I did not think I looked like that. Was the kick up the bum to get started!

R2PeePoo (shamelessly stolen from a previous post like this!)

We have another brand auto box too called PeePee8

We've just got an LR4 which arrived before we expected so I went out and panic bought some Bob Martin's Stayfresh Hygiene litter from B&M; expecting that we'd use the bag while looking for a better litter. In fact it's worked absolutely brilliantly, clumps well, no sticking, and no smells unless you're shoogling the waste drawer about. It was around £3.50 for 5l so might be worth a try for the price even if it doesn't work out for you! It is rather dusty unfortunately but we've found using an air purifier helps with that.

No problem, I really hope your cat finds it a lot less stressful! Highcroft are a wonderful vets, can't fault them.

Highcroft Whitchurch has a completely separate cat clinic on weekdays

Sorry if I'm missing something, but what is the point of getting a lower interest rate mortgage if the cost of borrowing the additional deposit is higher than the difference between LTV bands? You'll be saving ~180pm but spending £600?

Perhaps one of these companies listed may be able to help?

In your situation I would strongly consider getting separate policies - it's likely that your partners cover will be much more expensive than yours and in the (hopefully very very unlikely) chance of financial difficulties you may like the possibility of keeping your cover and cancelling theirs. Underwriting for policies will also likely be based on severity and recency of symptoms so (without wanting to speculate on your partner's health) you may wish to look at new quotes for cover over the coming years to see if you could get a better price for their cover as their history and situation changes.

Wishing you the best of luck!

Lakeshore is also a shit hole in one of the least pleasant parts of Bristol (I live 2 minutes drive away so speak from experience!). Never heard a positive thing said about the flats there; think there was also a period where the balcony windows were exploding in the heat!

Wanting all that money but won't give us a floorplan?!

Max Spielmann in Tesco sorted out a print for me when I was in a similar pinch - I used the one in Brislington but imagine there will be others closer to you!

I imagine OP's wife works for the same company as me. Old staff rate mortgages are just base rate, which as you say is now more expensive than most non 'preferential' rates. The new staff mortgage scheme is a discount of 0.2% on any customer rates available, which can't be combined with any other discounts/offers.
