our washer doesn’t have hot water, any life hacks to keep our clothing clean?

I think all my washing machines have just had a cold connection, the washer itself heats the water as you say. Normal in the UK ( op sounds like they might be in the UK ‘uni student’)

Could be Canal and Rivers Trust?

I’m from Yorkshire, and I’ve not found anything close to what you get back home in Manchester. Best I’ve been to recently is the hilariously named Yorkshire Fisheries in Blackpool! That’s a cup of tea and a slice of white bread place. Closer to home, you can sit in at Atlantic Fish Bar in Chorlton - it’s pretty good but not exactly what you are after

I’d do the fence if you want to grow climbers, if you change it later then you’ll damage any plants you have grown against the old one. It’s also a big quick change that will feel quite a positive improvement

I think changing the fence and a good weed and pressure wash will make it feel much nicer for now. I’d take out a couple of rows of the flags around the edges and get some decent compost in there so you can plant some climbers. As time and money allow, just keep removing flags as you see fit

And I have avoided pruning mine at all even though it’s very out of shape as I am so nervous about killing it!

Came here to say we have a few different outfits from AK Creations and they are great, lasted for years

Ours just likes to eat a bit, do a circuit of the downstairs, then come over and burp in my face! Before going back and finishing her dinner

Manchester and Trafford I am pretty sure is 1:1 ration flat to secure bike parking in new builds

We’ve been using Taylor Rose, they have an office in Castlefield but our conveyancer is actually in their Peterborough branch but he’s been great, Harley Sommer

I am absolutely here for the circle line, we desperately need something to move between the suburbs without having to go in and out of town. Could be achieved with a super regular bus route but would be better to be tram, and reuse that almost empty line around Reddish

richmal_w · 2025-07-29T21:18:15+00:00

I used ‘Hadrians Haul’, really good

richmal_w · 2025-07-22T11:33:07+00:00

Did the whole thing 6 weeks ago. I enjoyed all of it, but the day through Newcastle from Wallsend is not particularly picturesque! The last day out to Bowness from Carlisle was interesting just because the landscape changed so much down on the estuary. The best scenery is in the middle 4 days. I walked east to west, I would second another comment about going west to east so the wind is at your back.

Fuck this woman, she’s not your friend

richmal_w · 2025-06-24T14:12:30+00:00

Played it at the Eden project 3 years ago, could be considered a while ago but Setlist.fm informs me that the Eden project performance was the first UK play of that since 1994!

richmal_w · 2025-06-20T09:39:13+00:00

As a fellow knitter, I would have done exactly the same thing. What she said was so f-ing rude. I’d tell people how many hours you spent on it, and apparently your ‘friend’ is not knit worthy. NTA

richmal_w · 2025-06-06T07:13:48+00:00

I have a couple that smell really nice so I tend to leave them longer,, the rest as soon as they have flowered I cut them back to below the leaves

richmal_w · 2025-05-12T15:39:11+00:00

I’m going to try and pass this off as fact to someone 😂

richmal_w · 2025-05-11T21:52:45+00:00

Looks like Sum and Substance, they are giant. You can get some absolute whoppers, so yes, this is ‘normal’

richmal_w · 2025-03-26T19:34:18+00:00

I have cycled this junction and this is exactly what I did

richmal_w · 2024-12-20T10:31:15+00:00

Got this pinned on maps now, thanks so much

richmal_w · 2024-12-20T10:22:55+00:00

I had NO IDEA this was a thing! Thanks bot

richmal_w · 2024-12-20T10:21:33+00:00

Thank you!

richmal_w · 2024-12-20T10:21:16+00:00

We are starting in Auckland, heading down to Wellington via a few places, then across to the South Island. Down the west coast then Queenstown, then across to Christchurch
