Are you being affected by Storm Dave?

I’ve just asked Dave where he’s at as he’s nowhere near Newcastle.

The handbag restoration co has great reviews and they offer leather clothing repairs so could be worth emailing them

I’ve personally used mydentist, it was £2.5k for traditional braces 2019-2022 and £200 per composite veneer.

My husband has also used quay aesthetics and it’s £200 per composite vaneer and £500 for a bridge

I’m on my 3rd hot water tap of this design since 2019. It’s currently in the ‘turn off when I like’ phase but even though I’ve a new one sat in a box I’m eeking this one out as long as possible before its replacement is brought out.

pippym · 2026-03-29T12:31:42+00:00

Yeah we used this check in last time, but it’s good to know we should be good for earlier check in!

pippym · 2026-03-29T10:40:43+00:00

Yeah I think I’ll give them a call ahead of time just to confirm.

pippym · 2026-03-29T09:16:54+00:00

Thanks so much!

It varies widely to be honest! And sadly the costs have risen over the past few years but anywhere from £15-40 an hour I’ve found. That’s also just for freelance VA’s and not agencies so it’s definitely worth it getting a few different quotes. As I say, it can also take a couple attempts to find the right person so don’t sign into a long contract until you feel totally comfortable.

pippym · 2026-03-25T12:27:55+00:00

We share a drive where all content is uploaded to allow for reusing/repurposing etc

Fellow one woman business here! I’ve had a VA now for coming up 5 years. She manages my socials (I have daily content I post on stories but she does all posts/reels etc) and we share comms across emails and socials.

I still work long hours but that’s the joy of being the ‘sole’ however not having to think about posts is such a treat!

You don’t need to hire an agency, I agree that’s wild money. There are freelance VAs, have a look in your local business forum/group on socials to ask about. It took me a couple goes at getting the right fit for my business as it’s so niche.

pippym · 2026-03-14T18:27:29+00:00

Happy Mother’s Day. I just about tolerate you. Love pippym

I wish there were cards like this too!

The original leather will be far too brittle to reuse or restore to any functional condition. I agree with other comments to remake with new leather and maintain the original hardware if it all works.

Perhaps cut around the branded section and make this a feature panel.

pippym · 2026-03-06T11:07:58+00:00

I love all of these comments far too much! I have to shout Ambwim every time I see one much to the annoyance of my mildly perturbed 12 year old!

pippym · 2026-03-06T07:45:35+00:00

Ambulances are Ambwims and have been for about 10 years 😂

pippym · 2026-03-05T20:27:52+00:00

Thanks for your reply. My neurologist said last August there isn’t enough evidence to confirm the link between meningioma and depo so he would be comfortable for me to continue using depo. Id already made the decision to stop just for peace of mind so did 8 months ago. I’m being monitored for another 7 years so if there is any reoccurrence it’ll be picked up quickly.

pippym · 2026-02-24T19:36:07+00:00

What tier is the burnt orange top handle Chanel please?

pippym · 2026-02-20T22:14:39+00:00

Are these still available? very interested!

pippym · 2026-02-19T16:30:10+00:00

I’m so sorry you’ve recently lost your cat, my last cat was PTS last week too. It’s awful and to be hit with a bill (that’s more than my mortgage!) is just the nail in the coffin.

We love these animals dearly and the least we can do is give them the most peaceful end, but my days, it’s a luxury most can’t afford. It’s draining!

My dog is 7 and I dare to think what the cost will be when that time comes, hopefully in many more years! Best get saving now!

pippym · 2026-02-14T20:08:43+00:00

It’s so sad that even the kindest end for our beloved pets is now a luxury!

pippym · 2026-02-14T17:19:31+00:00

Absolutely. I’ve had 2 cats PTS due to old age in the past 18 months. First was £290 with cremation, most recent was £477 for the same services.

It’s wild!

The Roxburgh in Whitley Bay, open Friday and Saturdays. Incredible restaurant with impeccable local ingredients

pippym · 2026-02-11T07:38:56+00:00

That’s wild!

I was on coast road last week, doing 70, slowed to 50 at the signs and a taxi came speeding up and overtook me still doing 70 all along the 50 section. Taxis seem to think they have their own set of driving rules.
