Thanks for the response. I have no number I can call but I will wait until end of play and email first thing tomorrow instead. I don’t want to come across as this annoying person who keeps emailing but equally need a response...

Absolutely no excuse for this, I should’ve paid attention to what I was doing.
I’ve been caught speeding, 52mph in a 30 zone! They are taking me too court. What can I expect?
I have a clean licence, will I lose it?

probably be ok and will likely just be 6 points.

Most likely just points for a first offence at that mph

Should be points, would only be a loss of license if you have been passed less than 3 years I think it is, but I'd say it would be anything between 3 an 9 points

it will be six points - nine at the absolute maximum.

you only lose your licence, or have the possibility of losing it, if you hit 12 points or more. and straight up bans for speeding are rare, and only in very extreme cases. don’t stress!

Is it OK to check someone out on socials when you meet them for the first time lol 😆
In the grand scheme it sounds ridiculous but curiosity and all that...
Have you ever checked someone out on social media after meeting them?

Hello anyone. Hope this is the right place to post this. Does anyone use domestic cleaning services? I feel very embarrassed about this, but I really struggle to keep my home clean, and so I was looking at hiring a cleaner to come maybe once a month to do some deep cleaning. I'm not sure though - I feel embarrassed and I'm also not sure how normal this would be? Does anyone else regularly use cleaning services? Are they worth it? Is it expensive? Are they discreet or will your entire neighbourhood know you have a team over? Is it safe?
Hey! I used a cleaning team when my mental health was bad, they came once a month in a normal car. The ladies were lovely and so kind. If I was feeling really down one would even make me tea ❤ I paid about £60 for a 4 hour clean, that’s all they needed to boss the 4-bed I lived in at the time. I would recommend shopping around for someone local, they offer really good deals if they don’t have to travel far. You can get them to come when everyone is at work if it makes you more comfortable.

Thank you for the response! That sounds really great all of it. I have been looking at local companies, good to know that's how it will be most affordable, but £60 sounds really reasonable. Thank you 😊

Hello, I’ve been meaning to reply to your post all day.. I’ve not used a cleaner but always envy people that do as I would love a cleaner!! The way I would think though is don’t be embarrassed, do your research and find someone you are happy with & maybe ask they don’t use your home for their socials advertising? Also they will appreciate the work especially if they are self employed. Good luck!

We have a regular cleaner. It can actually motivate you too because while they never judge, you do kind of "get ready" for them.
Just to add another opinion, you might consider a shorter time but more frequently, talk to them, tell them your expectations and they'll advise. It really is a profession and skill and they will be able to guide you.

What I ordered vs what arrived.

To add insult to injury, these were on print to order, I ordered on Sept 10th, it arrived Oct 11th after being told 10 working days. £55.99 with delivery I paid and it looks nothing like what I ordered!

My friend thinks I’m being dramatic and it’s not that bad, but I’m so upset and it’s been posted about a fair bit within the festival community, so I’m not the only one!

Do I have grounds for a refund/compensation here? I’m not going to be able to get the design shown it seems. I feel massively missold 💔

I’m afraid that it’s tie dye, no two designs will ever be the same, It says on the description as such. To me, you got what you ordered, I don’t think you have any come back in that score.

However, consumer law says you can return it for any reason if you notify them within 14 days of receiving, you have 14 further days to actually return. They should refund delivery cost if you return the whole order.
You are also supposed to receive your goods within 30 days.
You will be responsible for the returns cost though.
There’s a letter template here if you want to use it to email them.

The original hoodies sold at the festival were the black ones, so it’s definitely achievable to get that pattern. It’s just really annoying when they made us wait twice the time given and not deliver what they have promised 😔

I check people out on socials who I haven't even met and have no business checking out, so I think you'll be fine :ROFLMAO:

Absolutely demand a refund. Yes, tie-dye are all different. But one is black with red and the one you got is just red with a hint of black.
I would definitwly send it back

Imo that is significantly not as described
