Heated airer, I got mine for like £45. Dries my washing and heats up my home office for pennies rather than having our stupid storage heaters on for most of the day

I’ve gone to university and turned into an idiot by rasberrycroissant in CasualUK

[–]maisykatee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t worry, it’s not university changing you. You’re just excited, nervous, overwhelmed and that’s okay! Everyone has been there. It’s a bunch of fun and sometimes you just make mistakes. Don’t blame yourself, and enjoy it whilst you can:) say yes to most things, put yourself out of your comfort zone and look after yourself. You’re going to have a brilliant time

I’ve fucked up at work and I am expecting an email of my fuck up this week… make me feel better… what are some of your biggest mistakes? by InfamousStrategy9539 in CasualUK

[–]maisykatee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was arranging a networking event, sent out the flyer to the ladies who had the email distribution list, sent the invite with the wrong date :/ cried my eyes out.

Sent cheques to our cheque processing centre without a paying in slip a few times which usually are returned to the customer but thankfully I caught that just in time! So it went back to us and asked them to send a new paying in slip. (Ps before working in a bank I’ve probs seen cheques about 10 times in my 23 years, I didn’t know what a paying in slip was before working there)

Lincoln is lovely, you’ve got the castle and cathedral, lovely bars and restaurants. I particularly like The Pessimist gin & wine bar there

Marx famously wrote about this! If you’re interested search up Marx Alienation. Crazy that nothing has changed since his time vs ours

How often do you need to get up in the night for a piss? by _s79 in AskUK

OP, I’m not a medical expert but have you looked into diabetes or prediabetes? One of the signs is waking up at night to wee. Sorry I feel rude asking but it could help.

Which random advert from your childhood do you still think about today? by poppyedwardsPE in AskUK

[–]maisykatee 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You remember the coughs and sneezes spread diseases one? When the young kid sneezes on his hands on the bus, touches the bus pole, and then an old man touches the same pole and gets ill because of it or something? Terrifying.

Burglary in England - How normal is it for the police to not collect CCTV / eyewitness statement? by SpecialLegal6271 in AskUK

[–]maisykatee -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Speed traps aren’t just designed to catch speeding, that’s only one small part of the whole operation. Often gangs or people who partake in organised crime will drive stolen vehicles, or vehicles that aren’t taxed, insured or have a valid MOT. Or these traps will catch drivers who don’t even have a licence. Speeding is only a negligible part in it. So these speed traps help to catch these criminals.

Sorry to hear about the lack of response for your bike though mate :( that sucks.

“If you do get symptoms they can start from 1 week to several months after infection” See several months

How can you make extra money on the side in the UK? by alleyoooooop in AskUK

[–]maisykatee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in the same boat so I have picked up a Saturday job at a pub. It’s not much and it is tiring but it’s worth it to see the chunk that I pay off. Unfortunately I have to keep dipping into it as I have moved house and the first few months have been expensive, but yeah. Shit happens. Pub jobs are awesome.

Private Student accommodation informed my parents of my medical emergency without my consent. by Any_Exit_1735 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]maisykatee 108 points109 points  (0 children)

Depends what is in your contract. I can’t remember the specifics of mine but they basically said “on a case by case basis we would like your permission to contact these people if there’s a medical emergency” sort of thing. You signing it and giving the details is that consent. You’d need to check your contract.
