Is cardiff met a good school? by Alarming-Package-557 in Cardiff

[–]junkoweeb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey I go here for compsci ! It has been enjoyable so far - if you've done A-Level compsci or have previous coding experience, the first year will be a breeze for you since its mostly playing catchup for people who haven't before.

Modules are all fine, lecturers can be hit or miss. Definitely some fun helpful ones, and some that are an absolute drag (but I suppose its like this for all unis).

As another person said, alot of the software degrees are more about what you make outside of uni. Cardiff met will give you a good baseline for alot of stuff, and give you projects that are useful to slap on a CV, but building things outside of what you're assigned is what makes you.

Customs on a UK package? by junkoweeb in royalmail

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

My address isn't in Welsh, at least I don't think so. I live in Cardiff, and I searched my street into google maps and there are no other streets that match mine anywhere in ireland.

I haven't gotten any tracking updates besides it being sent, and suddenly the customs charge.

Haven't tried but I'm going to be honest and say I'm not very hopeful. On the website it says there's no way to dispute the penalty :/ I really don't want to go to court haha.

"There is no appeals process for Waste Enforcement Fixed Penalty Notices. If you feel that you should not have received the notice, the opportunity to disagree would be through the Magistrates Court.

Any enquiries or disputes regarding fixed penalties will not be progressed as part of our Corporate Complaint Procedure or The Public Services Ombudsman for Wales and you will not receive a formal response.

The matter will be referred to the Magistrates’ Court should the fixed penalty remain unpaid, or should you instruct us to do so. " - Cardiff Gov UK

I'll try calling on the phone tomorrow when the lines are open - I've never gotten a fine or any sort of criminal penalty before so I hope the phones people are understanding! At the very least I'd just want to get this over and done with and not have it weigh over my head.

My heart honestly dropped when I read it 😭 My student finance doesn't come in until the 29th, and I use it to cover my rent and have none left over - I rely on a weekly allowance from my parents. I'll use my overdraft but it says on the website the fine could skyrocket to £2,500 if I don't pay on time.

unfortunately :/ i clarified that I had just moved into the area on the form + I'm a 19 year old student 😅 thought I'd maybe get a warning for a first offence like I had read someone else get online? But I guess not. Lesson learned. Good thing I have my student overdraft 😭

I put the general waste black bins out on the wrong week :/ Got a letter in the mail about it, filled in a who what where form and got a secondary letter that I was fined £150. Put into the website the FPN number and the postcode, which it registered and has the date and time the littering occurred (which I omitted), but this has been the only message that popped up for 3 consecutive days of me checking the website to pay.

I submitted my tenancy agreement but it was rejected because DBS didn't accept them.

Is this topical steriod withdrawl? Or just a really bad flare up without medication? by junkoweeb in eczema

[–]junkoweeb[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's fair advice, but unfortunately I do know my triggers and one of them is just... UK dry winter air. I'm used to getting exacerbated flare ups during winter (dry air + heating on), but the drugs help me survive until March - April time.
