  1. Our house isn't too bad for damp or mould, it's just there's nowhere warm enough to dry the washing. The living room is pretty much the only place that gets warm enough, but even that isn't ideal.

     

    Out of curiosity, what's the cost of running a dehumidifier?

     

    well put it this way, my electricity bill never goes over £20 a month.

     

    It's a refridgeration type unit, probably takes a bit to run over hours but its not got heater like consumption.

  2. I'm definitely going to have to look into one of those clothes dryer things. We currently have all our clothes on racks in the kitchen and even after 3-4 days, they're still sometimes damp. We have shit heating in there and we tried moving the clothes to the living room, but we ended up with damp walls.

     

    I really hate the winter.

     

    Get a dehumidifier, its far far far superior.

    its a lot of money at 120 but its a real investment. Small ones are a waste of time (from experience)

     

    I cannot tell you how many times its saved my ass. From mould growing in my flat, to drying out my car when i left the window open on a very wet night.

     

    I usually use my tumble dryer for most things but stuff like jeans i hang on a airer (i have a 6ft tall one) and fire on the DH, you really cannot beat it.

  3. my name is Hannah. There aren't that many in my circle (also Hannah isn't a really common nick here as we have Hanna as a surname, I was named after a Margaret Hanna). I believe its more common in Wales, Scot & England

     

    I get H from my dad, Han from my close friends, nerk from my sister (long story), Hannah from anyone else. And nearly EVERY FUCKER ON THIS PLANET spells my forename Hanna NO YOU MONSTERS.

     

    Sending a work email with my name on it numerous times [email protected] and theyre like alright Hanna thanks NO NO NO JUST NO. It makes me rage so hard. Why can't you see whats in front of your face its so bloody unprofessional!!!

  4. I've got back into the weight training recently. Doing a 5x5 session. 4 sessions a week rotating between 5x5 squats / 5x5 strict ohp / 5x5 deadlifts / 5x5 cleans. A chopped down version of SL (loving the SL love people!).

     

    Thought I pulled a muscle in my back but turns out i have inflammed & infected kidneys... and i continued to push through the pain o___o possibly not the best idea.

  5. Might be late to the party but generally no... the combi's are not a good idea. More expensive to buy and fix, and you can't use both at the same time. If ones broke generally they both are.

     

    You can't have space for both? I only have room for one machine in my kitchen... but i have a condensing dryer in the spare room. (i have to keep the window open when i use it as it gets a bit condensated lol) And a dehumidifier which I could NOT do without. Would be the best method of drying asides an actual tumble dryer.

    my dad installed my oven, i ripped out my electrics for my electric heater.

     

    Its only a legal issue when you're talking about somewhere where you may be employing people, then you need to have strict safety regs. Even landlords generally don't give a shit (even though they should)

  7. I was a bit meh when i finally got my keys too, mostly because of the panic and EVERYTHING that had to be done (moving wise, notice for rent blah blah blah) and all that after the stress of the messing around legally.

     

    Glad you got your house though, it WILL hit you and you will be excited soon! :)

  8. Awk poor girl i hope she is ok :-( You have to watch with the food thing because you can attract unwanted animals too, its better to have things that smell like her outside. I really really really hope she comes back soon. I know the pain of not knowing and its nearly worse than the truth. Sending you lots of hope and good vibes @Eenuh

     

     

    My cats are doing well with each other at the moment. Got to take them to vet as sparkys tum not too happy with his meds. I want to get freddy checked out too as I'm pretty sure hes deaf as a post lol.

  9. I don't want to make you all jealous with my wild and exuberant purchases but I recently bought a new oven shelf and a grill pan. I'm not going to let it change me though.

     

     

    I'm up there with you, paying a plumber to fix my oil tank....

  10. Its incredibly sad. I've got a *lot* of devastated female friends right now. One who was victimised by a neighbour for their relationship (shes married to a TG (female to male)) and it feels like another attack on them when the majority voted for someone so anti LGQBT (regardless of their feelings on it, voting knowing how he feels isn't exactly supportive).

     

    Hillary wasn't perfect and they could have picked someone better to run against him but I would have much preferred her.

  11. having been a sufferer of anxiety myself, you'd be doing her no favours. If its at a point where its restricting her life she needs to talk to someone, and get some help (be it meds or therapy).

     

    Best thing I ever did was grabbing life by the balls and DOING things rather than hide from them in fear of some unknown nothing.

  12. 1) What's your dream job?

     

    Owning a cat rescue sanctuary.

     

    2) What are you actually doing?

     

    Admin in the NHS

     

    3) Did you ever envision yourself in what you're doing now?

     

    I never saw past leaving school. Wanted to be an accountant when I was in school because I was good at maths and accountancy has a lot of numbers, right? I went onto work with computers in technical college after school. Then got the job I'm in, at 19. Have been there ever since (now 30) I make 20k. It supports me being able to live by myself. Its an ok job.

  13. I'm... well i dunno,

     

     

    I have an analytical mind that ALWAYS tries to figure out what is the WORST possible case scenario in any situation in life. And I think about these things deeply. I can always find flaws & bugs in systems, if it can be broken I can do it. Yet I'm EXTREMELY optimistic in life, always look on the bright side while being prepared and aware of the possible downfalls.

  14. I remember times when I didn't log on for a weekend and I had PAGES to catch up on. Now I'm rarely here (due to lack of working computer & money to fix same) and it never really goes past the first half.

     

    Its possible that the mega threads are doing something to cause that but there used to be so so many more people on here with no social lives to speak of :heh: I mean most of us are in relationships / having children / buying houses, and ADULTING. Which doesn't leave much time to be a shut in!

     

    I used to spend my day working then coming home and spending the WHOLE evening on msn messenger & here. And look what happened to msn messenger :heh: The internet has changed. Even in 2005 forums were a dying breed. Now its all on facebook pages and groups.

     

    tl;dr i miss the old days
