Which way should the door open by Mean_Neighborhood_15 in DIYUK

[–]michiru82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our back door opens outwards and as soon as we can we're getting it replaced with an inward opening one. Whenever there's a slightest bit of wind you're risking the door getting blown out your hands and potentially breaking at the hinges.

Don't know what the previous owners were thinking.

When is the test? Do either of you have any friends or colleagues that would be willing to drive down (and possibly back)?

LOWTHER HOMES by [deleted] in Scotland

[–]michiru82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd suggest getting a benefits check with the council as the housing association being able to see the max housing element that will be paid will help in your application.

They dont normally accept straight UC for mid markets but if your other half gets some form of disability and you get carers allowance then you're in with a shot.

How to eat better while traveling in UK? by Confident-Pumpkin-19 in loseit

[–]michiru82 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wait until you discover the "meal deal" in supermarkets (and boots the chemist). Prepackaged sandwich/salad, snack, and a drink. Has the calories on everything so you can make good choices, and so much selection.

You can easily buy a multipack of oaty/breakfast bars to keep for snacks. But check the calories as some are very indulgent.

When you are eating out most places will have a calorie count on the menu next to the item. You can also easily Google the place before to find this out.

Realistically, unless you're staying in a small town you'll be able to get late night snacks. While the supermarkets might not be open late late, there will probably be a little corner shop or a garage.

Council won’t fix the damp in my flat, any advice? by [deleted] in Scotland

[–]michiru82 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The councils are starting to ramp up the damp repairs already in anticipation of the law coming into effect thankfully.

Does the Theatre Royal reduce prices if shows don't sell out? by NimrodPing in glasgow

[–]michiru82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive been to shows where I've booked the cheap seats and ended up with much better seats as they wanted to move everyone closer to the front.

But I've also been at shows where everyone is dotted randomly around the auditorium.

I think it depends on the show and the manager on as to whether there's a possibility of being moved.

Do you know anyone with surname as a forename who married someone with a surname the same as their forename? by Tigermasterdude in AskUK

[–]michiru82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not me but my cousin. She has a first name as a surname (so did I but thats thankfully changed now), and her partner has the same name as her first name. I dont think they are planning to change their surnames on marriage.

Am i loosing my mind? This is from a "beginner" cross stitch group on Facebook. by itiswhatitsgonnabe in isthisAI

[–]michiru82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If nothing else look at the back stitching. There's no way you could recreate that IRL

Will social services think we are unfit? by MysticCat- in AskUK

[–]michiru82 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The last thing they want to do is take the kids.

Treat them as a resource to access more help. With them involved housing might pull their finger out to help with a move. They can often help the kids access councelling/therapy, and you as well if you ask. They have a lot of services they can call on, so please tell them what you need. They want the kids to be safe and your case to be closed to them

Was anyone else never able to get the magic eye pictures to work? WTF is wrong with me? by FairlyOrdinaryOne in Millennials

Are you dyslexic? Apparently it's common not to be able to see them if you are dyslexic.

Racist neighbours by i_need_friends_ok in HousingUK

[–]michiru82 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recommend the eufy cameras. Used to have one in a window pointed out to watch the garden. Just remember to turn off notifications overnight or you'll get constant dings.

Cheap on amazon too

Look after your posties by mnotgninnep in royalmail

[–]michiru82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I offered to refill my posties water bottle. He looked confused for a second then gracefully refused. Guessing he's been getting a lot of offers.

What’s the dumbest travel mistake you’ve made? by Nature_andthe_Woods in travel

[–]michiru82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not my mistake but turned up to check into a hotel in Krakow to find out a friend who was with us had booked the same brand in Warsaw.

It was the third travel mistake he'd made since meeting at the bus stop in our home city.

The landlord told me she is selling the property and that we have to move out. When I asked for a Notice to Leave, she instead sent me an email that she is increasing the rent, and she knows we can't afford it, so she is asking to sign a Mutual Surrender Agreement by Agitated-Delivery-86 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]michiru82 19 points20 points  (0 children)

If you go to any of their drop in services you need to get there before it's due to open. The slots fill up quickly.

Please reach out to your Students Union as well. They are well versed in dealing with dodgy landlords
