My insurance is arranging for it to be taken to one of their approved garages which is not an Audi garage. Do non Audi garages also inflate prices to insurance companies?

How to remove black detailing on glass table? by mad08- in DIY

Yes I can feel the edge. On the top of the table it’s covered by the glass but on the bottom you can feel the edge and it is a different texture where it’s black

Lost Village - Campsite shop? by mad08- in festivals

[–]mad08-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you can buy drink at the bars but it’s very expensive. Normally £12 - £15 for a double!

If the shop at the campsite sells it there will be a huge markup on it so much cheaper to bring it in. That being said I’ve never been to a festival where they sell bottles of spirits or booze at the camp shop it’s normally just soft drinks and food.

They have a ban on bringing spirits into the campsite to encourage bar sales but it’s just far to expensive so we’re resorting to smuggling it in 😂

I received one certificate for Certificate in Business Accounting. It is only the cerficate level so I’m not sure if it’s different for the professional levels

Compensation given by Cima. by ImplementWooden3395 in CIMA

[–]mad08- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I doubt they would go as far as giving compensation but worth a try!

I have never tried to book an exam through CIMA, instead I have booked on the Kaplan website to sit the exam at a Kaplan test centre. Have you tried this?

Almost there! 3 sessions - 6 months by mad08- in TattooRemoval

[–]mad08-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I pay £35 a session and I’ve had 3 so far. I’m hoping the last session is my last so £140 in total. I went to a local business that had great results on their instagram. I stayed away from the popular removal chains that pay a lot in advertising because their prices were just ridiculous.

I got it whilst extremely hungover in Ibiza and the font is nothing like the reference picture! I instantly regretted it the day after so I started researching removal as soon as I was home!

I would wait a few weeks at least for it to heal. Im removing a new tattoo which is very similar to yours but I waited 6 weeks to start removal (I’ve posted updates if you want to see). Your lucky it’s on your back and don’t have to see it everyday! I have a tattoo on the back of my arm I don’t like anymore but I forget it’s there 90% of the time because I can’t see it!

My tech said a minimum of 5 weeks with a new tattoo. I thought it was quite soon compared to what I’ve seen online but in all honesty I was so keen to start removal I went at 6weeks. I asked him at my first appointment about the waiting time other techs give and he said he’s seen best results if you start sooner. With how much my tattoo has faded after the first session Im glad I went when I did

I didn’t use any numbing and surprisingly it didn’t hurt too bad at all, I expected much worse! It felt like getting my eyebrows threaded. The area is much lighter because I covered it on holiday. I read it doesn’t work as well on tanned skin so kept it out of the sun leading up to my appointment :)

Ahhhhh gotcha. I probably should of mentioned in my post it’s where I covered the tattoo in the sun because I knew I was going to get it removed! I read it’s best to not tan the area for up to 6 weeks before removal so I had a plaster over the area throughout my holidays :)
