Thank you (that is a crazy jump!! Reminds me of when everyone was profiteering during the pandemic) I'll keep an eye on it@I_Like_Tractors I feel bad recommending my blanket because it cost me £45 in the summer but now they’re selling for £75 plus, but it’s a Monhouse Heated Throw (mine was from Amazon).
I had a look there’s also this price in their owtwebsite and wayfair also have other brands.@I_Like_Tractors I feel bad recommending my blanket because it cost me £45 in the summer but now they’re selling for £75 plus, but it’s a Monhouse Heated Throw (mine was from Amazon).
Obviously there are some parts of the Midlands that are worse than others but I'd say on the whole it's pretty safe, I wouldn't feel concerned living there (speaking as a single woman). Places like Solihull and Sutton Coldfield are nice, ditto Worcester, Bromsgrove etc or pretty much anywhere in Shropshire (maybe apart from some of the rougher parts of Telford) you should be fine.The rent conversation is quite interesting.
I earn 2500€ in Ireland which sounds like a lot of money but my rent is 895€. I was only able to get this rental because I got a deal in the middle of Covid. If I had to pay the real rent it would be 1800€ per month.
Now I am part of the people who can’t move because every rental around me is insane. I looked at housing in the Midlands but I would be by myself which is extremely dangerous for a woman.
My dad is a postie and he can't afford to strike but he feels he has to. It works out roughly one strike day a week cos sometimes they fall on his day off (Royal Mail pay weekly). Fair play to them for keeping it up but it's getting them nowhere!I can't see how people can afford to continually strike. In my view it will be the better paid striking so teachers and nurses not the HCA's and TA's who are the worst off.
I agree with others about housing costs that need to be sorted. I'm not sure what the answer is as rent caps would cause landlords to sell and no council or housing association seems to have the appetite or funds to building housing at the rate required.
I'm also South East and it is bloody chilly today, there was frost on all the cars this morning and having been for a walk at lunch some cars are still frost covered now.I’m in the south east so only now have the temperatures dropped really and this time last year I would have thought nothing of sticking the heating on while working from home. Instead I’ve just put my snuddie and fingerless gloves on.
I don't know which Midlands you are referring to but the Irish Midlands can be unsafe for a woman due to the emptiness.Obviously there are some parts of the Midlands that are worse than others but I'd say on the whole it's pretty safe, I wouldn't feel concerned living there (speaking as a single woman). Places like Solihull and Sutton Coldfield are nice, ditto Worcester, Bromsgrove etc or pretty much anywhere in Shropshire (maybe apart from some of the rougher parts of Telford) you should be fine.
That said, some random on the internet telling you somewhere is perfectly safe isn't the same as you feeling safe there, and relocating on your own to an unfamiliar area is a tough thing to do, even if it brings financial benefits.
My union has a strike fund to support those out on strike. Grey are increasing the monthly fees from January to generate more funds.I can't see how people can afford to continually strike.
