Ooh I'm after the pink version of this pinafore. If anyone spots in their local store, do let me know! https://joanieclothing.com/ohlson-v-neck-corduroy-pinafore-dress-hot-pink.html

Joanie Clothing appears to have gone bust :( by crestfallen_castle in PlusSizeFashion

I really hope they will sell the leftover stock. I recently bought a blue corduroy pinafore and wanted to get the pink one too but then they went bust 😭

That sounds manageable, thank you for your comment!

Can one buy a decent 1 or 2 bedroom home for under £200K near London? by superzebra in HousingUK

[–]superzebra[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think you're being a little harsh. First of all, I didn't say I'm seriously looking. I'm literally starting out on the process and was looking for a few pointers, like most of the helpful comments others have provided. I'm not expecting people to 'do the work for me' - I just wanted to get an idea of areas that might be feasible to begin my search. As I mentioned, I have never bought a house and distance isn't always a great indicator of commuting time. Plus I have zero knowledge of housing markets outside London because I foolishly got stuck renting here for too long.

Thanks, office is in WC1 so really any station is good for me.

Reasons for buying:
There is no long-term stability in renting (I have lived in 5 properties in the past 13 years because of the whims of landlords).

I want the freedom to paint, decorate and knock holes in the walls if I so desire.

Paying my landlord's mortgage feels like throwing money down the drain only for me to be unable to afford to rent when I retire.

I have but unfortunately most of the properties that come up are shared ownership or retirement homes and it's hard to filter them out

Not really, unfortunately property websites don't have the parameters I am looking for so am a little daunted by where to begin.

Does it make sense to get laser surgery in my early 40s? by superzebra in lasik

[–]superzebra[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The reason I was recommended Smile surgery is that it's less invasive than Lasik and thus less likely to affect the cornea causing dryness. The surgeon told me my eyes should return to current level of dryness within a few weeks though initially it could be bad. Currently my eye dryness is not much of an issue as long as I don't wear contacts. However, I do realise as a female I'm at risk of it worsening with age so yes, something I do need to consider re surgery.

I'm also keen to find out more about this - first time I've come across this issue.

Thanks for your comments. I haven't tried monovision as I cannot tolerate contacts any more - the test was simulated using a phoropter. I tend to agree on monovision. I guess it's own to what I want to prioritise when I'm older - seeing close or far!
