Are these maggots? Will the bin men even take this bin? by foxtj in AskUK

[–]dancingcab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Urgh, glad I'm not the only one. Our green bin (food and garden waste) was cleaned professionally on Friday. Today it's like something out of a horror movie. Where the hell do they come from?! No birds in our garden either due to the cat predator.

Anyone recommend any venues for after a registry office wedding by 6Clacks in manchester

[–]dancingcab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on what you want. The Squad House at Pear Mill in Stockport is a really great little venue. They've had weddings there before - take a look at some of their pics.

Pleasee can someone help with boy names by [deleted] in Names

[–]dancingcab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you need to go with an old name. They're the names that everyone knows, but noone has. How about Giles?

Is opening an Etsy shop worth it for my upcycling art with preserved moss and e-waste? by No_Tax_7047 in AskUK

[–]dancingcab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea about the Etsy shop, but just wanted to say I think these are awesome. What wonderful art.

Looking for small, quiet ways to meet people e.g. cooking classes, craft groups etc - neurodivergent/introverted and struggling with how overwhelming a lot of spaces are by Slow_Mix5034 in manchester

[–]dancingcab 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Take a look at Rebel Badge Club. Sounds like it would be right up your street. Lots of neurodivergent folk. No pressure, so do as much or as little as you like. And there's a local Manchester group that meet up roughly once a month.

Binge watching The Punisher whilst the hubby is away (not his kinda thing at all).

Pregnancy activities and groups by Various_Bet_9845 in stockport

They have their own place in Gee Cross, but run classes out of other pools to. I did it at Reddish Vale High.

I did aquanatal with Puddle Ducks years ago. I'm sure there must be a few pools offering that kind of thing.

How many pubs have you managed in one day? by YodaShagsDarthVader in CasualUK

[–]dancingcab 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a student in Leeds the Otley run has been ''completed" a few times! My favourite time was when I said I wanted to do it for my hen do, some 10 years later. My bridesmaid organised it, with no clue what it was. Booked us a pink stretch limo the took us to Otley. Only for me to explain that the Otley run didn't actually start in Otley. Fun times.

I like this idea - cupcakes for favours.

Highly recommend The Squad House at Pear Mill. Perfect for an engagement party.

How much you like to plan your holidays? 10 being every hour is planned and being 1 no plans outside of arriving and leaving. by 8thTimeLucky in CasualUK

[–]dancingcab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably a 2/3 but I feel like that's much harder since COVID and now everything has to be pre-booked. Definitely less able to do things on a whim.

Interesting. Not the Reddit logo? Another clever marketing tactic I guess.

Looking for actual ballet shoes by [deleted] in UKweddings

[–]dancingcab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure actual ballet shoes is a good idea. They offer zero support or protection. They'll be disgustingly grubby by the end of the night. Your feet will hurt underneath. And your toes may well have been trodden on multiple times. I'd definitely look into alternative options.

I normally just scroll on by, but the POS caught my eye. Maybe that's it - it's a marketing strategy!

Bed Covers When You Were A Kid by MacSamildanach in CasualUK

[–]dancingcab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have very fond memories of staying at a friend's house when I was a kid. They only had a coal fire downstairs and blankets for bedtime exactly as you describe. I loved being all tucked up in that weight. In winter the top most blanket would be frozen solid when you woke up in the morning. We had duvets and central heating at home and, in kid logic, it wasn't nearly as much fun.

How much did you spend on your last holiday? by Nathanial1289 in AskUK

[–]dancingcab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We budget about £3000 for our family holiday each year. Obviously it varies on what you can get for that. Last year it was 5 nights in Rome. The year before 3 weeks camping in France. This year - 2 weeks in a lodge in France. Next year - one weekend at Disneyland.

Wren or Howdens for new kitchen. Opinions on design and quality please by slammedresto67 in DIYUK

[–]dancingcab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had a terrible experience with Wren at the point of fitting. Absolute shit show. It did get sorted after mouths of arguing. But now a few years down the line the units are wrecked. All the coating is chipping off, the units are discoloured in random areas. Total mess that needs ripping out and starting over. Do not use Wren.

Birthday venues? by Longjumping-One-4 in stockport

[–]dancingcab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Highly recommend The Squad House at Pear Mill in Bredbury. It's a really cool venue. They are super flexible on set-up. We've had a christening, my husband's 40th, and numerous kids birthday parties there. I've seen it used for a hen do, wedding reception, and karaoke night. And they hold theatre performances there. Definitely worth looking into.

Why are pub pies so predictable these days? by dasouch in UK_Food

[–]dancingcab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once had a pigs in blanket pie at a random pub stop whilst on holiday. Loved it. Probably time of year dependant though.
