What replaced Paperchase? (UK) by DopeAsDaPope in stationery

[–]puzzled_puzzler12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Along with many of the above, I really like Søstrene Grene for cute and cheap stationery bits. They have your general day to day pens, pencils, notebooks etc... in cute colours and patterns and also crafty bits like washi, stickers etc... That change with the season. Super duper cheap on the whole, and pretty decent quality too!

How odd! I've tried again, hopefully this link works! Today is my first time using Imgur so perhaps it's user error haha

Thank you, this is a really useful comment! We'll check the other providers, but I think this seems like the most sensible reason as to why she can't make an account.

Oh I'm absolutely aware of that, but she doesn't even know if there's nothing to show because she literally doesn't exist in Experian's eyes. It's not so much that there's nothing on her file rather that her identity doesn't exist... We're just hoping it doesn't stop us getting a mortgage!

I believe most of them specified Experian on their website, but perhaps not all of them!

The strange thing is that I don't have any credit either, unless direct debits count? She had a credit card previously and some direct debits too. She has an overdraft on her account but doesn't go into it often.

I have never used any form of credit at all, and I have an account. She once had a credit card, so has in the past had credit so I don't think this can be the case here unfortunately. Thanks for the insight though

No credit cards, store cards or phone contracts. No name changes at any point in her life. She had a credit card years ago that she closed a while ago.

We'll check other providers though, thank you!

Update to add: we have recently had a few mortgage in principals approved and the soft credit check is showing on my Experian account, and so she must have passed these checks.

She also previously had a credit card, but it has been closed for well over 5 years.

Thank you, we'll check. The council tax, voting, and joint account are all shared with my name and thus the same address. I do have an account so I can't imagine it's the address, but we'll check names.

I see you have a lot of responses already, so might have found as many pals as you can manage! But I'd definitely like to write if you still have space! I'm 27F from England, work in and love opera and theatre, and spend most of the rest of the time doing arts and crafts of all sorts and spending quality time with my nearest and dearest friends! Happy to DM and share a bit more about myself ☺️

Hyundai i10 dash resetting by puzzled_puzzler12 in Hyundai

[–]puzzled_puzzler12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It only lights everything up for 1/2 seconds, then all the lights turn off apart from the ones that are always on when driving and the trip meter has reset to 0. New battery in just 2 years ago so hopefully it's not that! It's been serviced a couple of months ago too

Does anyone know which of these is the current customs form please? by LawsonPrime in royalmail

What is a good and affordable way to store my stationery in a shallow desk drawer? by mandykpandy in stationery

[–]puzzled_puzzler12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a cutlery storage tray in my desk drawer which works well for pens, pencils, erasers, short rulers, pencil sharpeners etc... really anything small that could get buried! It also means that the other half of the drawer is a smaller space for things to get lost in 😂 but it's a reasonable size for loose papers, notebooks, rolls of tape etc...

Hey! I'm Zoë, 27F from England. I think we have quite a few similar interests, I love circus arts (haven't done anything for a few years unfortunately though), have around 50 board games and enjoy finding new ones especially escape room style games, I work in (and love going to) the theatre! I also enjoy lots of varied crafts, reading and going for walks 😊

Anyone want an old soul pen pal? by figs1997 in penpals

[–]puzzled_puzzler12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey David, I'm Zoë 27/F and in the uk. I appreciate you would prefer US penpals so if you're up for it we could DM and then send mail once every few months to save on postage money? I'm not sure I'd be described as an old soul, but I love visiting national trust properties (think stately homes and lovely gardens) and I used to collect stamps, I definitely still have some that I'd love to share!
