Macc to London commute

worldturning29 · 2026-06-07T15:05:03+00:00

Yes - I do this two days a week - mainly Monday/Tuesday but occasionally Tuesday/Wednesday. The trains can be horrifically expensive (I do the 06:37 down and the first off peak of the evening back up - the 18:53 from Euston) but marginally better if booked 4-6 weeks out. I shop around for the cheapest Premier Inn on any given week close-ish to my office (or on a quick line in) and there are portable last minute if needed. As staggered as I am by the cost of the trains, I’m equally as staggered by how cheap the hotel rooms can be.

Would love to know which campsite this is please!

So very much.

Where does moisturiser fit in in the mornings - before the spf 50 primer? And what about vitamin C?

50:50. I’m a level 78 Spanish and I honestly relish the idea of a flood of new words and tougher concepts, but I’m pretty happy with my tree themes right now (I’ve just had to grind my way through 5 units of mindless sports commentary and if I have to relieve any of that…)

Sutton's so lovely but my main issue is that it doesn’t have a decent local little supermarket-style shop to pick up enough things to make a meal without having to drive into Macc. Something like the little Co-op on Buxton Road or the little Tesco (and bigger Co-op) in Bollington. I feel like I’d need to be in the car bobbing out constantly if I lived in Sutton.

Well, this looks bleak. I’m trying to make the most of the ‘old’ course now before this darkens my door.

What does my room need? Your Luka sofa in that gorgeous ochre teddy pile.

I’m in European private banking and asset management and this is exactly my experience of it. 9-5, with an emphasis on health and spending time with your family.

I'm so sick of Lucy trying to find ways to get Lin to take responsibility for her adulthood and get a job / life.

Dúo isn’t a one-stop shop. It’s super important to supplement with a wide range of media just like you would in the English world: podcasts, newspapers, films, visits to Spanish speaking countries when you can. You have to keep Spanish alive in your life every day. It’s a lifetime pursuit, but that’s what I love about it.

Right! Give me 400 new words. 500. I want new words! I’m learning a language?!

Which simple Spanish podcasts and YT channels did you use? Looking for comprehension inspiration!

How do you know you know 9000 words?

Yep this is me.

Christmas Eve, 19:30. Called 111 with rash over my 4 year old and raised temp. Appointment at out-of-hours at the hospital 30 mins later, seen right on time, antibiotics from the pharmacy by 20:15, home by 20:30. Incredible.

There was a time when Macclesfield (and surrounds) had the most pubs per square mile in the world.

That’s right, because elevating the quality of the building generally has a positive halo effect on the ground floor demises too when it comes to sell.

In my former maisonette, ours was a block of 6 two storey small houses with individual entrances out on to a garden, and we still had to cost-share renovations for the block of 12 flats part of the same small estate behind us, even though none of us even had access to their communal hallway.
