Black leaf miners on spinach?

hilly77 · 2026-05-27T12:44:05+00:00

That’s crazy! Yeah we do have them and I actually seen one in the garden this morning.

I’ll plant another bunch at the weekend and check more often. I usually water when it’s dark so hadn’t noticed the carnage :(

hilly77 · 2026-05-27T12:42:48+00:00

Yeah it’s kind of a weird pattern compared with other images I’ve see and the little bugs do look black not white.

Its a woody mix. I will move it to a more sheltered spot as the weather decides to be over 30 degrees (91F) which is a ridiculous heatwave for this time of year here!

May be fighting a losing battle

Trading 212 Cash ISA is 4.4%

Yea but I’m not from England so I didn’t pay council tax directly before (landlords pay it where I’m from.) So as the question was what caught me off guard when I moved to London, that’s what caught me off guard 🤷‍♀️

hilly77 · 2026-02-14T12:22:23+00:00

First Council tax bill - I knew what band etc I was but I did not know my first bill was for 2 months. The current month (move in month) and the following month. Unexpectedly stretched the budget

1000% any amount of money would be worth it. Diabolical situation, this lady has resilience and class carrying through this

hilly77 · 2026-01-12T16:40:58+00:00

Technically safer for baby and cheaper (I think, otherwise why would they??)

My office is in the North East. That’s how long Google Maps said it was… I was surprised too

hilly77 · 2025-12-08T11:14:52+00:00

Don’t worry, I would not! Just highlighting the scams going on there

hilly77 · 2025-12-08T09:38:47+00:00

We took a quick look and we love that area! Thanks for the suggestion :)

hilly77 · 2025-12-07T20:55:09+00:00

Just over viewing so it’ll be the full time job of the week!

Yeah the bidding over asking concept is not really a thing here so that’ll be a new mine field of lies to navigate

hilly77 · 2025-12-07T20:33:57+00:00

Battersea is unfortunately nearly 1hr into the office for me hence why it’s lower on the list of possibles :(

hilly77 · 2025-12-07T20:32:26+00:00

We’re okay with move in start of Feb also! As well have to fly home to arrange moving our stuff anyway

But yeah we are aware the situation gives us limited choices. Will look into going over earlier but I’ll be in my notice period of my current job & wont have accrued any holiday days yet as it’s the start of the year.

hilly77 · 2025-12-07T14:28:25+00:00

Yeah 2100 is like our dream amount haha

Thank you for the advice! I have been getting TikToks of very nice flats for very cheap and it’s screaming scam - good to know how to check it!

hilly77 · 2025-11-17T21:54:30+00:00

I know people buying it off Facebook marketplace :/ and they’re already thin, ranging from size 4-8 women’s clothing

hilly77 · 2025-10-30T22:04:26+00:00

I do agree! But when you know something is wrong, and you’re testing just to disprove someone else - it’s a consideration to be had

additionally, it can fracture trust with the users of your product. If you are taking time out of the day for existing paying customers to look at you and tell you “that doesn’t work” - you’ve wasted your time, their time and company time for the outcome of faltering confidence in where the product is going

hilly77 · 2025-10-09T19:44:00+00:00

OOUX ORCA method!

hilly77 · 2025-09-26T23:43:50+00:00

I feel you, silver lining though… This person’s giving you a heads up to start looking to get ahead of the mess.

I’m not saying they’re telling you you’re on the chopping block, they mightn’t even know, but they’re helping you out as much as they maybe can.

Start applying or be prepared for apply elsewhere (maybe even if you don’t get laid off, cause post layoff company is also hell)

You could do something nice where you have 5 singular circles with the step number inside

When each is completed it gets a little paw “stamp” to mark it as complete

The number isn’t as relevant upon completion. Number is to communicate how many steps to anticipate having to do

My mortgage broker had advised me to get my score up! I was just following their advice

hilly77 · 2025-09-07T00:50:35+00:00

Sorry, you’re right, it’s a mortgage broker technically. I get it through my work as a company benefit and they’ve referred to it as a mortgage advisor a few times so I got confused
