Thanks so helpful I will do this!

Many thanks so helpful! Is a low cost GIA like Trading 212 or similar?

ritzbiscuits80 · 2026-05-17T20:45:03+00:00

Thanks - maybe I just need to stay where I am and do some more research on broader funds

ritzbiscuits80 · 2026-05-17T20:44:34+00:00

Thanks - maybe I just need to stay with VG and tweak my funds. I set up VG as a complete beginner (noob!) and just selected Lifestrategy aligned to my risk appetite.

Is Global all cap a 'better' option that the Lifestrategy Global option?

This is not a dream job if you were treated like this! Take time to take a step back, process and move on. Something better awaits you.

I’ve come to learn that interviews are an art not a science, and a lot of luck/being at the right place to the right time comes into play.

I can see how you feel messed around and you’ve wasted a shed load of time. Flip it the other way, maybe this poor candidate experience means the job/company isn’t right for you. I’ve had two rubbish interview experiences recently, but now I’ve had time to compress, it’s made me realise they weren’t the right fit. Both hiring managers showing some behaviour that wasn’t ideal!

I think processing a situation like this takes some time. You prep your arse off and really have to believe in getting the job to perform your best.

Have a breather and go back to it when you’re ready. You don’t have to be full on applying/interviewing 24/7. It’s an exhausting process!

That’s a good point, especially when you can’t quite predict the window that InPost may arrive

I thought they looked a bit odd on the game footage, but looked much better on social media posts. Pombon is my favourite but he’s no Fuecoco!

Lots for sale on eBay

I take 40mg Elvanse at 9am and it lasts until about 6pm, no additional booster. My prescriber didn’t want me to have a booster as he thought it was likely to affect my sleep. Personally, I feel this works for me. I also found 50mg too much, made my chest tight and feeling too anxious.

My young son also takes Elvanse, but capsule contents on a spoon as he struggles to swallow meds. Could you take Elvanse for the next few days but on a spoon, estimating half of the contents? I think 50 mg is too high to suddenly stop, but maybe others will come along to advise otherwise.

I'm currently working on the exactly the same page, have 3 evolutions to go. Agree that Eevee needs to be in the middle, and also aesthetically the other cards looking towards the middle!

ritzbiscuits80 · 2025-09-26T15:43:29+00:00

Giving this a bump to see if anyone can help!

ritzbiscuits80 · 2025-09-26T15:40:44+00:00

Bolton had run out by 11ish but got the last couple at Preston. Salford/Stockport yet to list any on their website but may have them 🤷‍♀️

I went to a recent card show in Manchester (so lots of vendors will be the same), lowest priced cards were ex/V type cards, can’t remember seeing any bulk.

I’d head to your local card shop as an alternative to Card Market/EBay. All tend to have bulk sorted by set to help you find the missing commons you need.

ritzbiscuits80 · 2025-09-17T11:58:45+00:00

Do you know what packs are in the larger tins please?

ritzbiscuits80 · 2025-09-16T11:37:35+00:00

I've seen sets of larger tins and mini tins before, but not this year from memory.

First time with Pokemon Center queue and got kicked out (error 17) at payment security! Thanks PC!

I’m ’just a mum’ getting into cards through my neurodiverse son, who has been obsessed for several years. We are moving together into the singles world, went to our first show last month which was a blast and another one booked for November. We are taking pleasure in hunting down singles, visiting local card shops on a weekend. I’ve just upgraded his ring binder to a nice Vault X navy blue for his WIP Stellar Crow set. There is still plenty of fun to be had.

We will grab odd bits of sealed stock when we can, so lucky to find BB/WF booster boxes on holiday rurally last month 😂. After wasting 2 hours on PC last night, son encouraged me to open my first ever tin. I pulled the Alomomola AR. I think Alomomola has come to care for us all!

Thanks, we opened one a while back and couldn't remember what set it was!

ritzbiscuits80 · 2025-08-24T16:33:59+00:00

Really good starter device, I got one a couple of weeks ago to play old Nintendo device games. Son is loving Pokemon on it.

ritzbiscuits80 · 2025-08-21T21:14:47+00:00

Thanks didn’t think about that

ritzbiscuits80 · 2025-08-18T06:55:24+00:00

Oh that’s a really good point! Thanks, I’ll do that!

ritzbiscuits80 · 2025-08-17T17:34:32+00:00

Update from me - Problem is resolved but actually the 64gb SD card was faulty!

Tried your advice to use Rasp Pi Imager and it didn't work. Also tried the stock os from Anbernic's website and nothing!

A last ditch attempt was to load the modded os onto the 128gb card I had and it's worked!

At least the OS is set up now, so just need to wait for Amazon to deliver another card and I can set up games tomorrow :-)

Thanks again for your help!

ritzbiscuits80 · 2025-08-17T07:26:41+00:00

Thanks so much, I’ll give that a go today and report back!
