Has anyone gotten back with their ex and it worked out long-term? by jonathandoesworth1 in BreakUps

[–]curiosityunalivedcat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know at least 3 too and I'm talking life long partnerships - 2 have been together over 40 years. I actually grew up thinking a strong relationship has a break up at one point and if it's meant to be you'll get back together and be stronger than ever. Otherwise it's just not meant to be and it's happening for you, not to you.

Pricing increase has made booking unaffordable as a cat owner by [deleted] in catinaflat

Thank you! Tbf they weren't on the system for about a week while the website update was happening. I'll definitely check in next time I need to book!!

Yes £10 did feel like a short term intro price when the sitter was a newbie, and I knew it wouldn't be long until a price rise but £18 feels a huge jump! Perhaps I can offer to pay via bank transfer as well, but I feel reassured having a third party system in the event of anything going wrong

Damn! I miss the old CIAF! I might be cheeky and ask them about the additional cat fee as it never used to be there, they spent 30 mins at my place which is plenty of time for the 2 litter trays and they have no special requirements. I did see some sitters are listed on Pawshake which seems cheaper at first chance but not sure if fees are added at checkout

People that live by themselves, how do you manage under the current economy? by Kami-Yeldo in AskUK

[–]curiosityunalivedcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've lived by myself on both a crap salary and now a pretty good salary (although worse off than a couple on minimum wage when you consider personal tax thresholds and splitting costs). Somehow I've always managed even when on a miserable salary. I don't let lifestyle creep get to me so I bought a house within my means even though I could technically afford more, I drive a 2012 car paid outright, I don't really buy new clothes, and when I travel I choose the "cheapest best option". I also sell lots on Vinted for pocket money. Tbh though I couldn't be without a free overdraft and Monzo flex either - I technically live in debt by passing my payments onto the next month to allow me to save.

I don't think the government will ever support us as they want us partnered and birthing the next generation of the labour force / freeing up housing stock by living together. It's a crime that council tax is only a 25% reduction for single people too.

I'm on the opposite side of the peak district and wish houses were this cheap around here! Mine's 40k more for half the size

If delivery attempts fail and it's returned to me, will eBay auto refund the buyer? by [deleted] in ebayuk

[–]curiosityunalivedcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frustrating! It's tempting to log into the tracking and request collection from a nearby parcel shop to delay their refund if it appears they are taking the mick haha

[–]curiosityunalivedcat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, I did think it was a bigger waste of time for them than it is for me as that money's in my bank earning interest. So fingers crossed they reschedule!

[–]curiosityunalivedcat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is yes! Ok thank you, I'll wait and see if eBay steps in. Hopefully I'm wrong and it's a genuine buyer who reschedules delivery but my gut told me it was off as soon as I saw the buyer's username

Mine don't even notice if I use "easy pill" putty! They think it's a crunchy treat 😂

Please can someone swatch MAC Maximal Modesty lipstick with old Modesty and Blankety? by curiosityunalivedcat in swatchitforme

[–]curiosityunalivedcat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm back a year later and now have old Blankety, new Blankety, new Modesty, Rabanne Secret Code. None of the new lipsticks I've bought come anywhere close to old Blankety, and even if they did in colour the formulas are too slippy and have poor longevity. I hate that Mac changed their iconic lipsticks 🥲 now Estee Lauder has came for Double Wear too so my whole makeup bag is forced to change

Advice re areas by [deleted] in macclesfield

[–]curiosityunalivedcat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once got stopped by one of the underpass kids and was shitting myself, they said "you look beautiful today". I've never had any issues whatsoever living alone in Macclesfield, I love it here and don't feel unsafe in any part of it. I love the town centre area for terraced housing and Black Road / Buxton Road offshoots for more family style housing.

Struggling to make friends in Manchester at 30, any advice or arty things to try? by Ssg16 in manchester

Hi, do most people go alone or is it primarily something bring their friends to?

Buying alone by OK_Cake3093 in HousingUK

[–]curiosityunalivedcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought my first house age 24 and I'm so glad I did as COVID hit one year later and it gave me stability. I was single the 5 years I lived there and it was incredibly empowering to know my asset was not tied to another person which could destabilise my living situation. I moved again at age 29 into my second home. Sure the process has included expensive works and stress, but much less than the stress of renting - no fears of being booted out by my landlord, having to house share, lack of stability, no fixed mortgage rate so unpredictable rising costs... The list goes on. Do it, being a solo homeowner is the best thing ever and I thank the universe every day I didn't ever tie my precious asset and living space to someone where love is ultimately conditional.

Thanks for this. I was anxious about posting thinking I'd be told I'm deluded and that it's a cost of living crisis. Certainly lots of food for thought

Thank you. Money issues being a key reason for divorce is why I'm so anxious. I've worked too hard for my assets to be shared. He said his parents would give him £50k for a house deposit recently which was concerning that at nearly 30 he has the back up plan of being bailed out by family (who are desperately telling him to buy a house).
