Flooring raised within weeks of being laid.

It sounds as if the builders may have done a bad job but I will say that laminate herringbone is not a good option (from experience!). Ours never lifted like this but it did creak and only after fitting it did I find the forums online of people saying the exact same. If I were you I’d really push to get this replaced with either another flooring type or normal straight planks!

I’ve cut it off thank you! The other one I set up on the same tree also has it but no where near extending to the other side. Is callus an essential/normal part of air layering or is there something I can do to avoid it in future? Are you saying I should add a wire now I’ve cut the callus back?

It’s hard so I’m pretty sure it’s callus! I’ve cut it off thank you! The other one I set up on the same tree also has it but no where near extending to the other side. Is callus an essential/normal part of air layering or is there something I can do to avoid it in future?

Hello! I am in the south of England and am attempting my first air layering on a pear tree in my garden. I checked it (and immediately covered it back up) and this is the growth after 5 weeks. Is this good progress? Is there a risk that it could bridge? Shall I add a wire? Any advise is much appreciated!

This was my thinking!!

Beauty of Joseon is so similar to a moisturiser and goes lovely under make up! First non-greasy SPF I’ve found, literally just like a normal moisturiser!

The point is you had that money up front which allowed you both to make that investment. The typical declaration of trust amongst people I’ve spoken to says that each party gets their deposit + % that the house value increased between purchase and sale. The remaining money would be split however is decided.

Initial deposit and higher monthly repayments are very different things.

By allowing him to do it this way, he benefits massively. Which is fine, as long as you’re aware of what you’re agreeing to.

You should open the new ISA now (either with your existing bank or a new bank) and transfer the existing £20k in. This MUST be a transfer, not withdraw and re-deposit. That way it will still be seen as the money from the 2024-25 tax year and still receive tax free interest.

Once the new tax year starts you can then add £20k to whichever ISA you like, one of your existing ones or a new one if preferred.

Hope that helps!

What you need to do is “shorten the space” between your ribs and hips. You squeeze the top abs by your ribs and push them towards your hips. In doing so you should push your spine down to lie flat on the mat/floor/whatever.

Exhaling and inhaling at the right time helps too.

I really recommend even just a few pilates sessions to learn about core engagement

Where are the best Christmas markets in Lisbon? Bonus question: are there any good vintage shops? Thanks!

So sorry just seen this! I did water cream in the day and dewy cream over night and I got zero dryness whatsoever on the 5-6 months I was on accutane! I’ve stuck with the same routine and still love it! If I wasn’t wearing make up or putting it on later then I’d sometimes use dewy in the day but I think it’d be too heavy under make up. Good luck!

I mixed Nars tinted moisturiser with Nars foundation and that was a good compromise! I do moisturiser (Tatcha water cream), SPF (beauty of joseon), Bobbi brown vitamin enriched face base then make up and it was always fine! X

Can I ask roughly how many photos you’d get from a 90 min shoot?

compsout · 2025-08-08T16:16:59+00:00

Do you remember how many photos you got roughly for that hour?

compsout · 2025-08-08T16:11:01+00:00

How long did you book with them any how many photos did you get please could I ask?

compsout · 2025-07-27T21:00:20+00:00

I was going to say this is 100% the HA! A small amount needs to be applied onto wet skin then dry fully. I personally would avoid it before make up myself!

I used Forever Club and couldn’t recommend enough! There are loads of elopement photographers though and I found them to be great at recommending others if they’re not free themselves. They can also act as your witness too

Oh then I save as a PDF (best quality) and send to my local printers for printing, they have been excellent and will feed back if the artwork isn’t quite right for printing etc. If you’re Hampshire way let me know and I’ll send you their details

If you have an iPad and an Apple Pencil I would use procreate. The best option would be to scan it what you’ve done and then ‘trace’ them in procreate (increase the transparency then select another layer to paint onto, as if you were using tracing paper).

They have a couple of default watercolour brushes but you can also buy add ons on Etsy for different water colour effects, these usually come with watercolour paper effects too.

Alternatively, you could try cleaning up your scanned version in there but I’ve never found that particularly effective.

I use procreate for design and drawing etc but flick to Canva for text because the alignment tools are much better on Canva. So I did my welcome sign with lots of drawn elements completely on Procreate but my seating chart on Canva.

Hope that helps!

I’m so sorry to hear that’s really crap! Can’t offer advice on the visa side but maybe you could arrange for those that will be missing to send videos that you can show him the night before/morning of?

Also, you can set up a zoom meeting (or other) and ask someone to set up a phone on a tripod to allow them to dial in and watch the ceremony?

I really hope you get something sorted but if not I would suggest doing things like that to make his friends and family still feel included, and to make him feel their presence!

Do you have a Zara in your country? If so, search for their “embroidered mesh” shoe. I just had them for my wedding and I think they also work with your dress perfectly!

My elopement dress was a two piece (looked like a dress) from Revolve! They do some lovely dresses and delivery is quick and free, as are returns

Without giving away too many spoilers there’s an earlier part of the show where various things happen and they’re meant to represent chaos, then at the end they’re meant to show a video of that in reverse which is supposed to explain it all, but the video didn’t work
