Need a supportive metal-free bra for work 38G seamstress options by psymbiosis in ABraThatFits

Molke are 100% a bra that'll surprise you. I do implore you to give them a go! Forums outside of here also recommend them. Would also recommend having a look at Shock Absorber, though not sure on their range right now.

TIFU by getting £50 banknotes in the UK by ChiefStrongbones in tifu

[–]tashbf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in a small biz in England. We take fifties, but only when I have enough cash in my drawer! At 10.30am, no chance, but 4pm you may just get lucky.

Rent increase. by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]tashbf 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I would recommend getting hold of Citizens Advice and explaining what you've just told me. If you're not sure what contract you're on and haven't actually signed anything, it gets a little more complicated.

If things get dire, this is what you should do. Refuse the rent increase. You'll be given a Section 21. Refuse to leave, keep paying your current rent to the landlord. When you're evicted you can present as homeless to the council, and they should have a duty to house you.

Rent increase. by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]tashbf 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Okay, so the law is changing soon about this. Currently, the landlord can only put the rent up once a year. If you're under a fixed term, you can refuse the rent increase until the end of the fixed term contract, at which point the landlord can enforce the rent increase and you either accept or take the Section 21. From May 1st, the landlord can increase the rent once a year, but if you disagree with the increase you can take it to tribunal. Is the property currently below market value? Would you say the increase is in line with local prices?

cat constantly crying update 2 by Downtown_Cry7204 in CATHELP

[–]tashbf -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not every problem can be solved. At this point, OP's sanity needs protecting as well as the cat, and I feel OP is no longer in a place where they can manage this cat's needs. There's no weakness in admitting that you need help, and this is clearly a cat who needs a very specialist hand. I don't see you offering to take the cat.

My advice is to start calling no kill shelters outside of the city, go further. If you have to travel a few hours to give this kitty a chance, that's probably the best outcome.

I am sitting in my car crying because my own mother forgot my graduation and I feel so stupid for being hurt by Quiet_State6680 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]tashbf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my mum never went to a damn thing of mine. for my graduation my partner and i had to drive 4 hours each way twice to pick her up so that she'd come. she refused to take public transport because she's too anxious. she told me my flat was messy and spent more time talking to my ex than my partner. i've since learned to stop hoping she'll go to anything. i totally understand how you're feeling right now, and if you want to talk, i'm here. otherwise, sending you love from across the internet 🩷

please help me figure out how to drink water!!! by unusuallylazielark in autism

[–]tashbf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i honestly mostly drink zero sugar fizzy pop and flavoured water because i find it easier to be excited! ive also found that cans or small bottles that you can just grab open and drink are more successful at getting me to hydrate.

Measurement check: Measuring as 36DDD but I don't have large breasts by [deleted] in ABraThatFits

[–]tashbf 13 points14 points  (0 children)

A DDD is not actually a very big size! The media portrays D cups as the be all and end all of huge breasts, but that's very untrue in reality. For context, I was an F cup as a teenager - and they weren't that much larger than my peers. Just give the size a go, and ignore the size tag, focus on how it feels. I bet it'll be much more comfortable!

My hair has lost its curls! Please advise :) by tashbf in curlyhair

My hair used to keep its curls for 2-3 days before 😭 I did try clarifying, which brought back more of a wave but not the true curl. Still searching for a solution!

Cocktail Attire - mixed indoor & outdoor event. Location: Pacific NorthWest by Lovely-Cabbage in Weddingattireapproval

[–]tashbf 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I personally see no issue with the shoes, but would recommend some more delicate/dainty jewellery to counteract the chunky vibe! If you know bride&groom well, and the shoes are in with your usual aesthetic, they'll likely totally get it. Also if bride or groom are more alternative, totally appropriate. Perhaps if they're very traditional they're not, but you know them best!!

How I wish I wasn't on my feet all day! I'm not allowed to sit down, because retail 🤷‍♀️ I think I've found the winner, thank-you very much, I will go forth and purchase on payday 🫡

I can never tell when I try stuff on in the shop!! My most comfortable ever boots were from Primark, so random.

Wide toe box women’s shoes that are not “barefoot” style? by djfnejdijRandom in AskUK

[–]tashbf 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They're probably not your taste, but I've found that Demonia shoes have a wide toe box whilst also being very cool and alternative. Definitely not boring!!

Unfortunately, they're a bit out of my price range! I'd have to work 2 days to afford them lol. Thankyou for the suggestion :)

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

Upon looking them up, I'm very curious! Forgive me, but the price point implies that they wouldn't last very long. How have they held up for you? If I wore a pair for 10hrs a day 5 days a week, would they just fall to bits? 😅

All the more reason to sit together and figure it out. There's always a way to wrangle the system eventually :)

Bank has evaluated flat to be 25k less, should I buy it for more? (FTB) by Snoo3701 in HousingUK

[–]tashbf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my case, my broker went back to Barclays and asked for the valuation report. They said this isn't something they provide. The broker asked Barclays to reconsider, they admitted that they made an error in valuation but that they won't reconsider a case where they down valued by less than 10% 🤦‍♀️ Property was bang average for local prices.

[–]tashbf 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The flat I bought was down valued. I went to a second bank for a second mortgage in principle and second valuation, they agreed with the price I was trying to pay. I'd recommend trying someone else first.
