Hi, all. After seeing all the hypes of Zeiss lens, I finally got a pair Dita schema two with Zeiss Smartlife individual 3 with duravision gold coating. It's probably second best to the new clearmind lenses.
For background information, I have been a 20+ years Essilor Crizal wearer. My last glasses were Crizal prevencia. After 8 years, I saw a bit coating damage at the bottom of the lenses, so I decided to get new glasses.

Tbh, I was expecting dramatic improvement from Essilor to Zeiss, and the result couldn't be more disappointing. There is absolutely nothing better on these new lenses, well, maybe apart from these are less yellowish lenses. The field of view is no difference despite Zeiss claims it's Freeform lens. The easy cleaning is on par. Now the worst part, the reflections. When I was wearing my Essilor lens, I never noticed any reflections from the side of my vision or the back of my vision. Now I constantly got distracted by the reflection from the back of my lens. I constantly see my nose pad from the reflection in my lenses.

These are by no means cheap lenses, I just can't believe they're so bad.
I'm getting another pair of new glasses with the new Essilor natural look coating, I'll rotate these two new glaseses. But Zeiss is just disappointing. Don't buy the hype.

Hey
During the Jun cashback event, I placed an order of £270 and entitled to a cashback of £20.22. But not sure why, maybe due to late shipping, cashback was never issued. Contacted Ali customer service and they just keep repeating "credit is non-refundable", it's been going back and forth for 3 rounds(this is from their "senior team")... they just keep repeating this like they don't understand what I'm asking for at all... it's so frustrating. Does anyone know how I can properly escalate this? Their senior customer service team seems having no understanding of English.

Is this a good reason for a charge back of this amount?

I'm using AliExpress on my phone and two iPads. On my phone it usually shows a lower coin discount percentage, on my iPad, usually the level is much higher. From today, all 3 devices are showing very low level coin discount. : ( is it happening to everyone? Or l might have triggered something. Very sad.

First time ordered wireless headphones, instead of sending me the ones I ordered, it sent me a lower spec version, returned.
Second time ordered a microsd card, ordered a 256GB one, received 128GB one.
You can't make this sh*t up!

How come they keep sending out wrong item?? I mean, 256 and 128 must look very different when they pack. The model number 50 must look very different than model 30?

So frustrated. They also switched from Royal Mail to DPD and not allowed redirect to a parcel shop. Now I have to stay home all day to get the parcel, completely sh*t show. I'm done with CEX.

Hi, I know I'm in a very very fortunate position to be able to buy this small 2 bed semi period house. This house needs a lot of work, I was budgeting hard and calculated the cash I will have left once completed. It's about £40k, I need to fix wall(some holes in the wall), floor boards(water damage from the radiators), window frame(wood deteriorated), replace the whole kitchen, refurb the stairs(no carpet and it's worn), put in new floor on the 1st floor, replace the boiler, buy new furnitures. Garden fence( completely broken), radiators replacement(multiple leaks suggested most are not working).

Then I went down this rabbit hole of YouTube DIY videos, I learned that if I want to put wardrobe against the external facing wall I will get condensation behind it and mould. Suddenly, I need to fact in insulation of internal wall(being in a conservation area). Due to it being a semi, I have 3 large external facing walls that I need to insulate. I'm also looking at under floor insulation and loft insulation. ChatGPT suggested a quote between £20-£25k(lower end) being in London and I want to have breathable insulation. As a result, it seems most of my budget of refurb is gone. I'm really gutted and have absolutely no idea what to do....

I'm thinking about doing the insulations/window frames/wall and stairs repairs only and just live like that for a couple of years and fix things one by one.

If you also bought a semi or full detached period house, how did you start to fix the house? Did you insulate your walls before putting anything against it?
