I've spent a lot of time over the past year or so lurking on this thread, waiting to be in the position to be able to buy myself a new mattress... just placed my order now, gone for a John Ryan Origins Pocket 1500 :) bought myself a new bed frame too (from elsewhere), so hoping they'll make a...

I bought these just short of two years ago, can't fault them at all https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bamboo-Pillow-Shredded-Memory-Martian/dp/B075MFRZW6?ref_=ast_sto_dp

Revisiting this to give a little update... I withdrew from the house purchase and started renting a place to myself (was previously in a flat share with 4 others) to give myself a little space and more time to figure things out. Found a 2 bed flat I liked the look of in South London in...

Thanks all, much appreciated. Much clearer minded knowing. Just need to decide what to do about the house now, was buying it on my own so can afford it, it's just out in the sticks and not sure whether it's where I want to be with being single again.

She FaceTimed me. All over.

I would like to think she wouldn't do something like speak to someone else - We've both been through that before previously and when we first got together we promised each other if either of us ever felt bored or whatever, we would speak to each other first. I received a birthday card from her...

Thanks all! It's coming up to a year. By all means still a fairly young relationship, but I always felt we were on the same page - apparently not! I'm looking at it from the point of view that the relationship is over at the moment. The thought of moving in together was absolutely big and...

So I mentioned this briefly in the Nervous Wait to Exchange thread in the Home section. I'm currently going through through the process of purchasing a home, there had been a hold up with Help to Buy however this has now cleared and the purchase can proceed. While I am purchasing the house...

So the issue with Help to Buy was resolved towards the end of last week, and the application can now proceed. My girlfriend however decided to throw a spanner in the works today by calling time on our relationship. While I am buying the house on my own, we chose the house together, and it was in...

Thanks! Yeah, I can imagine it going pretty smoothly once the application is in, issue for me is that it isn't, still not in a position to be able to submit it and just seems to be taking forever - offer was submitted and accepted mid-February, just wish I could get into the house now.

I'm currently going through the process of buying a home. It's currently held up with Help to Buy, the house had previously sold so that buyer had submitted an application with Help to Buy, however they were in an apparently never-ending chain so the developer withdrew and made the house...

Thanks :)

Hello! Hope I'm not breaking any rules by resurrecting such an old post, completely forgot I posted this to be honest and I'm more of a lurker round these parts rather than posting :D. In typical fashion this plan went completely off track and life turned into a bit of a disaster for a good...

Until last night I was really starting to hate dating... Anyone had any experience of having been on a date and suspecting that the woman was lying about something? A little context, I went on a date with a girl from Australia a couple of weeks ago. For the majority of the date she was...

Hi all, Thanks to every one that replied, I 've only had chance to skim them so far, but I just wanted to update that I had my final interview on Friday last week... and I had a call from them about half an hour ago offering me the position. They've offered me £2k more than what I said I was...

Hi all, I applied for a new job the week before last, the next day had a very nice chat with the head of recruitment where I was asked what my salary expectations were. I gave a figure which would be about a 20% increase on what I'm currently earning. Since then I've had an interview, and...

Thanks to everyone who replied to my previous questions. I'll buy a pro controller next month I think, little bit pricey for me to get right now. Some of the games mentioned, Shovel Knight, Minecraft, Snake Pass etc I've never played before, so will definitely check them out. I used to love...

I finally got one yesterday via Amazon Prime Now, nice birthday present to myself =D I've had Zelda sitting on my shelf since March, and I received Mario Kart 8 today. Are these any other must have games? Also in terms of accessories, what do people recommend? I had a glance through the thread...

I've not been to Dishoom to make the comparison unfortunately. I've always been put off by the queues outside. I did find Talli Joe to be very very nice though, everything we had was lovely and fresh and tasted great. Particularly enjoyed the Halwai ki Mutter Kachori and the Chicken 21. The Kale...

I went to Talli Joe in Covent Garden last night, it's Indian half plates/tapas. They recommend 3 plates each, but we found that to be too much in the end. Food was spot on.
