Scottish Retentions number is incredible! £22 for 1gig with Netflix

I posted before asking if anyone tried this mid contract. We aren’t up until September 2027! I rang, 5 minutes later they gave me £24 with Netflix no hesitation. I mentioned we have volt, they went “oh great, it’s £22 then”.

No hesitation, they’re incredible. Couldn’t be happier.

Can we have a band megathread?

With a lack of third party bands, I’m keen to see what people are wearing, particularly ones from AliExpress!

Why doesn’t this work?

Just got my Fitbit air two days ago, these widgets just say tap to set up… I tap them and it just goes to the actual values it’s logged.

Am I being stupid here?

So close to my (arbitrary) goal of 25 BMI

After a bit of a plateau when I went on 5mg, I’m just so close to the goal of 12 stone flat.

Can’t believe I’m sub 14 stone, nevermind heading towards 12!

In the final stretch and I’m considering going back down to 2.5, to stay on maintenance indefinitely. Bad idea or no?

For further context, I’ve pretty much not exercised at all since September when I started, so signed up to 6 weeks PT starting in 2 weeks.

Any success calling retentions way out of renewal?

I annoyingly renewed last year in Sep, so isn’t up for renewal until Sep 27. Paying £48 for 1gig.

Has anyone had success trying to get a better deal so far out from renewal? For example, Toob offer 2.3gb speed in my area for £33, so I’d be open to upgrading if possible.

Thanks in advance

New parents staycation

I am taking 2 months paternity leave end July-Sep, looking to see what other parents here have done for a getaway with a 6 month old?

Hoping for something relaxing, maybe a hot tub that one of us can go in while the other looks after the little one, or when he’s napping in the pram.

Looking for something like 3-5 days ish?

We don’t want to travel on a plane as it’s too much of a faff.

Open to all suggestions!

Any ideas on a structure to support a wisteria in this corner?

I’ve been looking at pergolas but worried about fixing them to the paving slabs (not sure what’s underneath the slabs as they were put in before I moved)

Any ideas of something I can build or buy that would work as a structure for the wisteria to grow in to?

Cracks in bricks - best action?

1930s house, been living here for over a year now, has not noticeably gotten worse.

It doesn’t seem to go to the floor or any lintel/window frame.

Whats the cause and what’s the best action to take to prevent further damage?

Thanks!
