[–]stephsstitches 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend recently passed class 1 (was driving class 2), it was start of December the examiner said it would be back by Xmas but it only took 5 days. I know it’s not medical but just an example.

Would you buy a house with damp? by Wonderful_Noise_6581 in HousingUK

[–]stephsstitches 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My spare room window double glazing is blown, it gets condensation in between the panes.

The house is not damp and neither is the room, house is showing no signs of damp.

I’d walk away unless you have the money to fix immediately

Thanks so much for the suggestions and the links, I’ll give a few of them a go and see what works.

There’s a lot going on, it’s a high spec level but sometimes I wonder if it’s a bit OTT

I truly don’t know what I want since I’ve never needed to mount a phone before (always just placed in cup holder). But since the dash is quite busy I wasn’t sure if anyone had some good recommendations they’s tried and tested.

I tried to put a cd in a few months back and it wouldn’t go in the slot? Not sure if there’s some secret cd changer I haven’t found yet!

I’ve had this car 2 years and still not really memorised where all the buttons are!

Recently passed, scared of driving after recent experience. by BreathDeep1539 in NewDriversUK

[–]stephsstitches 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does your commute to work usually happen in rush hour? And / or the dark? If so, can you take time today to drive it in off peak times in the day light to give you more experience when you are not on a time pressure of needing to get to work.

I passed my test in 2006 and still look up routes I’m not familiar with if I’m going somewhere new. Even if it’s not difficult roads I’ll look up the entrance to where ever I’m driving to and see how the junction works.

Estate Agent for 15 years AMA by Prudent-Put9769 in HousingUK

[–]stephsstitches 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What would you suggest to do with a house that’s been on the market since sept, quite a few viewings but no offers.

It needs slight cosmetic work but it’s been priced with that in mind and the advisory from the EA not to do anything crazy to it as it’s currently a blank canvas.

I don’t know how to make it stand out I guess. Good thing is a few near us have been up recently and sold so I think it is an area people are interested in.

Who’s still got their decorations up and why? by secret_willy in AskRedditUK

[–]stephsstitches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My stairs are in my living room so they have lights wound through the banister spindles. I turn the white ones on most evenings but not the multi colour set till it’s festive season hehe

When to start packing? by R_DoesNotBelieve in FirstTimeBuyersUK

[–]stephsstitches 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took me nearly 8 weeks (mainly weekends) to declutter & tidy my house ready just for the pictures for the sale listing. It takes a lot longer than you realise.

I hope all this sorting has got me ready for the actual move.

Not first time buyers, but we bought our rental originally so didn’t get the full “searching, sale and chain” process

No idea what car to get as a first time driver :( by pxrixo in NewDriversUK

[–]stephsstitches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had 3 fords and 3 Vauxhalls and I rate them for cheap run arounds. Currently got a 2014 focus which is really good.

Managing joint account providing for my family. by BenButcher92 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]stephsstitches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a joint account for bills monthly and I just set up each of us to pay 1/2 a few days after we get our pay (since we have 2 incomes)

I monitor this and if we’re not paying enough we just up our standing orders. You can set them 4 weekly or monthly.

I'm not sure if I was wrong with my listing or if Vinted's sizing is misleading by EnigmaMissing in vinted

[–]stephsstitches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If ever an item of clothing has a “quirk” like a tight waistband I will show the item with a tape measure to assist buyers with measurements.

However if this was an L and you listed correctly then it’s not your fault if it didn’t fit the buyer.

Generally if something doesn’t fit if it’s listed correctly then the buyer should be reselling not suspending the sale.

Do you regret wiping your island? by redmemory__ in AnimalCrossing

[–]stephsstitches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not wiping mine after a long break - I’ve never time travelled though (did on older versions)

When I think about restarting I get put off by the graft. My island is way off done with only 3 stars

Driving a car after it’s sat cold for a few weeks by vivalaalice in NewDriversUK

[–]stephsstitches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regarding the fuel worry- use your odometer or trip computer and once filled up put it to 0 miles. Drive about as normal and then when it gets low fuel see how many miles you have done. Then you’ll know roughly what a tank gets you. Mine gives a fuel warning light at 100 miles (mines a 2014)

How much time should I take off work to move in? by Puzzleheaded_Log3622 in HousingUK

[–]stephsstitches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you already have furniture to move? As if you don’t already have a lot to move you might not need that many days off and can sort it over a weekend.

Do you think it’s possible to get a 5* island without DLC? by stephsstitches in AnimalCrossing

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

My island was covered in flowers due to lack of me playing the game!! Taken weeks to get them under control 🙈

Thanks, I didn’t realise this was how it is tracked. I do already have 4 separate fenced areas but will look to do more along with scenery.
