I did that couple of times. When insurance paid out for it all I thought it’s worth supporting our vets. They’re local and family run.

I do. We used to give them to him. Helped until we moved to the countryside.

Can confirm. Same price for Labradors as well. Recently new cost of him having anti histamines daily. About £50 a month. However insurance pays of for these.

Luckily we didn’t book our honeymoon a month before we left. Two week Caribbean and east coast USA cruise with TUI. We got one of the last few cabins, but we got lucky paying little less than we’ve seen the prices before.

Yes! I think what slows me down is the clippings. Tempting to just cut weekly at that point while the cuttings are short and leave them around the garden instead.

Excellent to know. What size is your garden? Also, how does the station for the mower look? Is it too much of an eye sore?

Annoyingly I think my garden is borderline small for a ride on. Unless I overestimate the size of ride ons. Maybe robot one is the way to go. I’ve been recommended Worx ones before.

The Hodor guy DJ at my uni as well! Small-ish club. Not more than 1000 people. I was at the front.
Also, do concerts count? As technically been in the same room with handful of pop stars ha.
Once I’ve spoken to directly - The Vivienne, Sarah Pascoe, the Olympian Neil.
If you are a blood donor, how many times have you given blood?

9 as of yesterday. I’ve got rare blood type B positive, so my appointments almost don’t get cancelled. Unlike my friend’s ones.
Plus once I got to donate stem cells! Thanks to a leaflet at one of the donations. Also, thanks to the government allowing gays to donate blood.

I think it’s good. Upgrade to the king plate. For me I always feel awkward going back for extra vegetables.
Should I go to a pub alone on NYE?

Do it. Depends on the type of pub, but sometimes I’ve sat at the bar area and befriended the staff and chatted with them.

For the first time ever I’ve had to work between Christmas and NYE as I changed jobs in 2023. Tell you what, I didn’t mind it. Work was quiet enough to not worry about deadlines. I was working from home, so maybe that helped. But I actually didn’t dread it. Made the time off definitely cheaper as I didn’t have to find any open attractions in the area to spend money on.
If you take a bottle of wine to someone's house party but it doesn't get drunk do you expect to get it back?
Posted by dinkidoo7693@reddit | AskUK | View on Reddit | 579 comments

If I bring a bottle of red wine, it’s most probably one I’ve been gifted before to me and I’m re gifting it. I don’t drink red wine.
But in general if I bring anything at all, it’s fair game to anyone to help themselves and I’ll leave behind. If someone brings something around my house, before they leave I ask them if they want to take the bottle back.

Growing up in Eastern Europe there was pressure to have an amazing night. Everyone would share plans where are they going and what are they doing. As I grew older I realised it’s not that big of a deal. So, now I’m not too bothered. Quite like chilling at home with few close friends and have a drink.

I think I prefer Windsor. Close enough to London, but not too close. Also I get to plane spotting from my back garden.

Once I paid £45 per person, but it included skip the queue and glass of champagne beforehand. As well as private pod with probably not more than 12 people. No one else drank the champagne, so me and my friend drank bottle each before we had to disembark.

First thought was Manchester. However Birmingham could be a competitor. However B’ham doesn’t give me an umph factor like MCR does. I don’t know what it is, just doesn’t feel right.

I’d love to use iMessage with my Apple friends because it doesn’t butcher the photos quality when exchanged. However I am just not hearing/getting the notifications all the times. So, I end up ghosting someone by accident for days. So that’s why I stick to WhatsApp.

My microwave clock runs by some semi seconds faster than real seconds. So I end up over time with a clock that’s out regardless. So I’ve given up on it at this point.
