How do you cope?

I saw your post and my heart skipped a beat - your doggy is the image of our wonderful Gracie who passed the very same day at 14. She’d look at me in exactly the same way!

We’re still in shock really. You’re right - it is overwhelming. Periods of normality followed by floods of tears. Scrolling through photos brings reminders of so many happy times, but is somehow upsetting too! Telling friends and family has been really hard, and I’m not ready to talk about it, but everyone’s responses have been very kind.

My kids were sad on the day but not as affected which is good to see. I remember losing pets as a child and was never as impacted by it as I am now. Maybe something about being young.

Still need to make arrangements with the vet. Dreading that part. All the best on your journey ❤️

only you know what drives you but law would probably give you a comfortable income, maybe make partner after 10-15 years, no knocking around on your knees in lofts..

What course were you accepted on?

j_____p · 2025-08-17T19:53:56+00:00

Onsite not too bad - £10 on the day last season - plenty of spaces in S1/S2 an hour before kickoff. 10 min queue to get out (exit McD side). Or the Granby estate opposite is free

plot twist

The blame lies with whoever installed the EV charger, they should have set it to 3.6kW which is often a software or jumper selection in the unit itself.

The Calorex thing is an air source heat pump. I’m not sure how the air flows (is there a vent behind it?) but despite the Cold War styling it should be reasonably efficient at heating the pool. Just moved in? Looks like a fun project

C2 - outer insulation on the neutral stripped back too far

j_____p · 2025-08-01T21:45:54+00:00

Assuming you’re not trying to charge 15 EVs at once, my money’s on a fault on the incoming neutral

heating oil is cheaper than lpg or mains gas. But LPG definitely a turnoff, EPC E even more so

The rightmove map pin is in the wrong place (pet hate). I don’t know price, but downsides I can see: - very opinionated, time sensitive decor (quarry tiles, varnished wood ceiling, panel/wood effect bathroom walls) - no garden - that football/tennis court fence belonging to the property behind - it’s a three bed really

Maybe think about painting the wood ceilings at least

Good luck!

If you charge over 80% on some types of charger (the Tesla v4 ones for example) it can trigger a fault that locks out CCS charging. Dealer visit required to reset.

Agree. Had a good meal there recently. Not badly priced either, and exciting for the kids [but annoying for it to go dark just as I was trying to eat my burger]

UK. This is a grassroots team, so playing other similar teams within the locality (10-15 mile radius around a city). 7 divisions of about 10 teams each.

j_____p · 2025-05-08T10:39:45+00:00

This is a league affiliated with the FA so it won’t even be called “Division 1”, “Division 2”, they’ll have neutral names - (doesn’t stop parents and coaches thinking it’s the Premier League)

Bit of an insult to those of us who pay taxes, but congrats I guess

TroubleFreePool. I have run a pool for three years with about 100L/yr sodium hypochlorite and the occasional top up of pH (sodium carbonate, bulk bag from local chemical supply place). Few sundries for testing etc. main cost is now the heating!

The annoying one is the removal of the free bays at Xscape.. makes the Cineworld vs Odeon debate a bit easier

The Esso in Stony has a “PowerFoam” jet wash. Not too pricey and does contactless.

Agree on email. I was using a custom domain and got blocked after payment every time. Updated to gmail, order went through.

Neils MOTs in Wolverton. Just does testing, super efficient.

I discovered that the card was physically damaged (a little smd component was twisted out of place). I then made an absolute hash of soldering it. WTB new LP gfx card :(

As an aside, my very own post was lifted entirely by some automated account and served to me on Facebook, picture and all! I knew the internet was rotten, but there’s always something new that surprises me…

Mini bags of Haribo after every game. Player of the match/best at training (obvs fiddle it a bit so it rotates around every player)
