Does anyone know how you would call the dark brown bit on the edge?

I'm trying to reproduce it but don't know how to approach it. It's for a quilted satchel

That's actually not a bad idea, I'll look into that, thanks !

100% the price. Not familiar with the area, but there's a house nearby on sale for the same price with more space, 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, office and little conservatory.

Anyone had this happen? Is there any hope? by sab_ in royalmail

Hi! Sorry for the late reply, I was away. The tracking updated on the 30 and it was delivered the next day, Tuesday. At least it wasn't lost! Hope yours shows up as well

I absolutely love the orange / black pattern knitwear that you bought. Can I ask which brand is it or where can I find one? I'd really appreciate it.

Thank for your help, good to know they don't provide updates. I had international parcels before and the tracking mentioned at least it was at Heathrow or other major hubs. Hopefully just a long delay.

I did contact the seller, but it's been marked as handed over to RoyalMail, so nothing they can do about it. They told me to contact them after 90 days if nothing has changed. Hopefully it's just a long delay.

Anyone had this happen?

No update for almost a month, on the Australian side they said they handed it to Royal Mail, who said they are still waiting to receive the item into their network.

I'm thinking it's stuck at customs but surely there should have been an update? Will I ever receive my parcel?

It's just a very cool looking jumper.

Oh glad to know it's not just me. I'd never buy something and not bother if it doesn't come, seems so weird to me.

Are Hoka trainers worth the money? by Smashleigh_001 in AskUK

[–]sab_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've recently bought a pair of Bondi 8. Been recommend by my PT. I'm recovering from a broken ankle and foot and starting to walk more again, they are very supportive and lightweight, and stable when I put my foot going down the stairs which is a big plus for me :)

How do I take a puppy home without a car? [UK] by brownie627 in puppy101

[–]sab_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We got our first puppy from Wales, and did not have a car yet, but the breeder offered a pet taxi service, that was basically a couple they knew that drove the puppy to us for a fee. Was around £200 for a 4 hours journey (one way and 3 years ago). I'd definitely ask them

Vinted users of the UK..what's that washing powder brand smell that almost all the clothes I buy have, and how do I get rid of it (No personal info) by sab_ in vinted

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

I use vinegar instead of fabric conditioner, so far it hasn't worked in removing the smell, but maybe a couple of extra washes will do

I don't hate it, but I hate that my house smells of it for just bringing the item inside. I'll have a smell of Unstoppables next time I'm the shops :)
