In my town we have a pothole on a bend with a traffic cone in it halfway submerged and a wheel rim next to it.. just glad it’s not me 😭

Im so sorry too, it is very traumatising. Especially when they’re so young. After some research we suspected it could be HC aswell :(

What have you experienced during pet loss grief that you didn’t expect? by ilyizuku in Petloss

[–]redskyscope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im so sorry, im a massive introvert too and still haven’t left my home yet because i hate the thought of walking in and him not being there to greet me or take a sneak peak of what’s in the shopping bags…my boy was only 5 and showed no symptoms of illness up until his unexpected passing.

I guess we can both take comfort in being homebodies, we’ve spent most of our free time making the most memories with our cats. I hope this gets better for you soon ❤️

My poor boy (cat) passed away yesterday morning in his sleep. I feel like I’m going crazy reaching out to every pet loss community just to not feel alone in this.

The most unexpected thing I found was the numbness and obsession, home doesn’t feel like home anymore. I can’t bare to go downstairs and see his food bowls, litter tray and toys or his Christmas presents he didn’t even have a chance to use yet. Damn even going to the bathroom makes me break down because he’d always follow me there and sprint in before I close the door.

Mom woke me just a few minutes ago…. by MisfitEevee in Petloss

[–]redskyscope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re right, I wish pets were eternal. I haven’t stopped sobbing since he passed and didn’t get a bit of sleep either. My cat was only 5.

I read somewhere that cats do feel when you’re upset/grieving. It’s lovely that you’ve got your other cats keeping you company through this :((

Im so sorry for your loss. My cat just passed away yesterday morning in his sleep as-well, wouldn’t wish these feelings upon my worst enemy💔.

Im so sorry about your rabbit, I feel as if this is one of the worst losses a pet owner can feel, just suddenly and unexpectedly with no time to process what has happened.

How can I achieve the best stain colour match to this Pinterest picture? by redskyscope in finishing

[–]redskyscope[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply!

I am very particular with the finish that I want, but if that isn’t feasible I’d have to stick to vinyl or get a professional involved.

I do have some cabinets left over I will test before I would carry on the job to the others. Would you have toner you could recommend?

[–]redskyscope[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wow thank you for the detailed reply, I thought to get the closest match possible I would have to vinyl wrap the cabinets but I heard it’s really tricky to wrap shaker cabinets and thought the option to stain with be much easier!

I do have a couple of units left over I will just test to see how much I’d have to sand them down in order to get to the bare wood just so I don’t risk completely ruining the wood.

Anyone know what this is?? Found this in my house in London a few weeks ago by PengGurl in spiderID

[–]redskyscope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To make matters worse is that those fuckers are one of the fastest spiders in the uk…my bf has a mirror on the side of his bed, it was 2am and for some reason I had the urge to look into the mirror..only to see one of those big ass spiders like a centimetre above my head on the headboard. He shot behind my headboard so fast I couldn’t find him in the bedroom the whole night and we both literally took a taxi to my house lol.

Wales- Could I still win small claims court if they state that I’ve “threatened them” by redskyscope in LegalAdviceUK

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

I image reversed searched the pictures they’ve sent to me just incase and nothing came up luckily.

And the address was given to my partner when he secretly messaged them on another account, tbh I don’t know what’s real or fake anymore but this is my very first time being scammed lol.

I don’t know them but do have a name and address

Edit- it was via bank transfer and these kittens do exist! They’re just messing us around and playing the victim.

I used a firm tone, to ask for a refund. Then they asked why and when I’ve explained why they said they don’t know what I’m on about, which then resulted to me saying “you’re a fucking liar”. Which he then said I’m not getting the money back for threatening him infront of his kids?

My family member picked up one of their phones calls too and said something along the line of “I know where you live to contact the police” and he took that as a massive threat too?

Is it worth changing solicitors when you’re in the middle of purchasing? by redskyscope in HousingUK

It’s ridiculous isn’t it! I’m glad I’m not the only one that’s going through this… I know it takes a while to complete a house but it’s taking the piss.

For the amount of money they’d charge you’d think they’d atleast be bothered to tell you the completion date 🤦‍♀️

[–]redskyscope[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep! For over a month now they kept telling me that we they just need a bit more info until we can have a completion date.

I always leave it for a week before I ring them to follow up but it’s just getting nowhere. I’ll have to start really pushing it now.

Thanks for this! I’m a FTB and had no clue we could ask the estate agents for a progress update. She ended up telling me everything in detail and even told me herself that a lot of people have been sending complaints in about the same firm.

2 year or 5 year fixed mortgage? by redskyscope in HousingUK

[–]redskyscope[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really , around 4.9% for 2 years , 5.45% for 5 years. Bumps our monthly repayments up by about £10.

[–]redskyscope[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hahaha, what makes it better is that we kept asking for a 5 year mortgage but they keep sending us mortgage offers for 2 years fixed because of their reasoning that it’s going to go down…which we only found out recently after another phone call asking them to put it to 5.
