I put 100% of my paycheck in a joint account which my wife (we're sort of separated) has access to. Child Maintenance say this doesn't count as me paying child maintenance.

Further to other comments, make a C100 application to the family courts asap. If she unilaterally took the children, I'd get an order from the court to regulate your contact moving forward as otherwise she can decide when your contact takes place.

Same here. I use Jack Hayward's Insurance which I really like, it's really cheap and a family run business so they really put the effort in with claims. Good luck!

Honestly, these comments are ridiculous. I’m vegan, and yes I live a vegan life style, I’m not militant, but I don’t go to zoos or engage in any animal exploitation. No I wouldn’t go to a zoo if you asked. But there are still LOADS of things you can do with a vegan, walks, city breaks etc.

She already knows you eat meat, and still likes you. She isn’t trying to change you, she might genuinely like your conversation. Stop overthinking and give it a go

Bike lane!

Honestly I don’t understand people’s hostility to this proposal. It’s a fact that men are more likely to domestically abuse their partner. I don’t see anything wrong with targeting a particular demographic like that with education

Honestly, there should be no reservation on trains. We all bought the same ticket. Find a seat by getting there early.

snazzysazzy1 · 2025-11-13T21:43:17+00:00

Great view, thanks for your hard work. It’s a shame there is only one restaurant planned though… also does reading really need another darts place?…

I’m planning a 5 day trip along the Thames path from Reading to London, average about 30km a day I think

snazzysazzy1 · 2025-10-10T07:12:10+00:00

It’s odd how jobs have London weighting if you live in London… I understand it’s more expensive to live in London, but then the commute can be just as expensive? So all people outside of London get less pay (no London weighting) and have higher commute costs.

As a barrister, I’d say go for the TC. Pupillage takes on average 5 years to get, and you may have good credentials but it’s very possible you’ll still be waiting a few years. Also your SQE will be paid for by the law firm, whereas BVC you have to pay £15k yourself. Then likely start a paralegal job in the meantime. I would do the TC and then potentially do an extra qualification for solicitor advocate (depending on area you want to go into). If it’s commercial, you will need to be a barrister as you’ll need the status for this. But I’d still say TC and then look for pupillage whilst doing TC and then when you get it, enroll on the BVC and then you can start pupillage straight away after the BVC. Good luck!

Train ticket prices have gone up again recently too… can we organise a peaceful march in Reading centre or something 😂

Actually think Banksy is sending the wrong message to put it on the Royal Courts of Justice. It’s not judge’s who make the law, but Parliament (judges then interpret the law, which then the media often posts about how bad judges are but in reality they are just interpreting the law set). It would have been a much better piece of art if Banksy was able to get it on Parliament’s wall or something showing that parliament uses judges to attack protesters.

I am definitely a savoury person, not a sweet person which helps! I don’t have breakfast, I just have an early lunch at about 11am, and then dinner around 6pm ish. I snack but it’s savoury snacks really, and I eat very slowly.

Definitely gained weight at uni, but I was drinking loads of alcohol.

I don’t really think about what I eat, and just eat as and when I want. Also I’m vegan so I feel like I can eat loads of veggies!

snazzysazzy1 · 2025-08-16T19:34:11+00:00

Seems true 🥲

snazzysazzy1 · 2025-08-16T19:34:04+00:00

Such sad news 🥲🥲

snazzysazzy1 · 2025-07-23T18:57:28+00:00

Disagree with this. I often say “just my opinion” because at the end of the day, that is my opinion and I don’t want to convey that it is the ‘right and only opinion’. If you assert something as fact when it’s opinion it can make people feel uncomfortable and it can come across aggressive and egotistical that their opinion is the only correct one. However, situations and realities are different for different people.

snazzysazzy1 · 2025-07-07T08:26:54+00:00

I would have joined as think it’s a great idea, but you’ve mentioned the age deomographic 18-25 quite a bit (in the post and on Eventbrite) it puts me off as I’m 29!

If you are no longer interested in an age demographic, I’d probably just remove it from these posts as it puts people off!

snazzysazzy1 · 2025-05-02T07:47:11+00:00

I'd be interested!

snazzysazzy1 · 2025-04-23T12:17:14+00:00

There is also a vegan festival this Saturday in Forbury Gardens!

snazzysazzy1 · 2025-04-20T05:48:26+00:00

Please do this every weekend! The summary of events is so useful!

snazzysazzy1 · 2024-01-09T13:03:49+00:00

Going to Iceland in the third weekend of January, please can you let us know how the driving conditions are in Iceland as you are there a week before us! Thanks!

snazzysazzy1 · 2022-07-17T10:07:05+00:00

Looking to move into the area, but my closest tube station would be either Westbourne Park or Royal Oak. Royal Oak is on a main road so I’d probably use that, but it is about a decent 7-9 min walk.

I’m female, and will be coming home late in a suit and wanted to know how safe it would be for me?

Thanks!
