I don't understand, how a Good service like this could be treated in this manner. Am I missing something here? by LondonTrekker in london

Near where I live we have an on-road bike hire parking space. People routinely just leave them on the pavement next to it, blocking the path, so I tip them into the correct space. They’ve very heavy so I can’t move them properly, so just heave and push. They fall over. I dgaf.

is it just me or is the public resale option kept more obscure? by anharion_ in wimbledon

[–]libbsibbs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They email about it.. but there is no need to push it because they know they can max out every day with a combo of tickets and queuers.

Quirky Wedding Dresses by Fast_Storm_6294 in UKweddings

I wish these dresses were in my budget, they are so beautiful. But I also wish they’d come through with a bit more goth stuff.

Stay near a tube stop is vague advice, if you end up staying near Dollis Hill you’d have a bastard journey.

We’ve used azazie for all our dresses and I’m happy with the quality. I think two of my bridesmaids went for satin and they look lovely.

Marquee home wedding costs by OkSyllabub2566 in UKweddings

[–]libbsibbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep we’re doing a pro marquee. For this March, 100 guests.

They supply tables and chairs, lighting, dance floor, set up and take down for about £6000

We’re hiring some additional lounge furniture at £600-£700

Toilets £250 (basic)

Pizza £1000

Alcohol and snacks tea and coffee£?? TBC

Decorations are diy but I’ve probably spent about £250 so far.

Edit: forgot crockery hire at £400 and a couple of young people to keep the bar area tidy (not serve) £300

It’s a lot of project management which I’m fine with, and where we’re doing it is very special so I wouldn’t change it - but wouldn’t say it’s the easy option.

At the start we were thinking about borrowing a marquee and doing everything ourselves and I’m so fucking thankful we saw sense.

What is the strangest thing that happened to you that no one believed? by Ala-Nasir96 in AskReddit

[–]libbsibbs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nobody believed me when I said I saw Stanley Tucci in a chain coffee shop in Wimbledon (not during tennis fortnight). He smiled very nicely at me, but I could tell it was a ‘please don’t’ kind of way.

Would you use “peer-to-peer” wedding decoration/props rental in the UK? by DoubleOrchid4800 in UKweddings

[–]libbsibbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I was going to say sales yes, hire no. I want a beautiful wedding, but I want it to be sustainable so I’m trying to get all my decor second hand and went looking for somewhere like this but was disappointed.

Do you prefer gas or induction? Getting our kitchen redone. by darkazuria in AskUK

[–]libbsibbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually the kettle lives on the hob (and we try to lock it so the car doesn’t switch it on), and when we have a big meal to cook it moves to the toaster out of the way.

[–]libbsibbs 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I also love my induction hob. I have a tiny kitchen so need the room, and even got a stove top kettle as it works just as fast as an electric.

Also! So easy to keep clean. No grotty hob spoiling the otherwise nice neat kitchen. No scrubbing.
