Can anyone help with a lamp project?

Hi! I have this lamp that was meant to be LED Chargable, but the wires are torn and charger doesn’t work. The acrylic layer at the base of the head also broke. Is there any way to get a light in here? Do you know anyone who knows how to do this type of thing?

Why do my tomatoes have soggy bottoms? 😂

It’s happened to a few of my varieties this year and I am not sure why! It’s only the odd few in each plant?

EDIT: thanks yall, mystery solved. Blossom end rot. I’m going to my bed once every two days right now but the heat wave has meant it’s swinging between deep watering and high temperatures.

Does anyone have advice for how to avoid this during the heatwave?

Is this safe to use

I have this water bottle with a rubber stopper that was unused for about two years, it smelled a bit weird, and there were some spots on the wrapper so I soaked it in vinegar and boiling water and it all smells fine but the marks are still there. Is it safe to use?

Gluing broken panel?

Hey, all, I have this antique style rechargeable LED mushroom lamp that I knocked over in an antique shop so of course bought, and I’m wondering what the safest way to glue the bottom panel is? It’s made of acrylic so I’m wondering the best way to piece it back together— That will also be safe with the rechargeable LED.

Do I apologise to my downstairs neighbors

I just moved into a new flat and have been making lots of noise during the day unpacking and sorting things. I’m also a bit of a night owl, very clumsy, and getting used to the space, so I’ve knocked heavy things over multiple times at like midnight. I don’t know if, after the unpacking is done, I go down to apologize, or if I wait to see if they come talk to me. I’ve been feeling so anxious about the noise I’m making, and I can see talking to them going two ways- they’re kind and understanding or I open Pandora’s box…

Looking for a long wear scent, I love Ilio by Diptyche and Mojave Ghost by Byredo

I love these scents but I want something new that will last throughout the day. I wish Ilio came in the parfum. The absolute of Mojave Ghost is an option, but I do want to try something new!

Home speaker for music under £100

Hi all-

I’m looking for a good home speaker for music. I’m moving into my own place and I’m really excited about being able to listen to music out loud! I don’t have a massive budget because the move is really expensive, but I really just have an old Bluetooth speaker that’s pretty bad. I’m looking for something nice for the home, maybe something that might also be a bit pretty, for music purposes only. I want it to have Bluetooth connectivity, but I don’t mind if it plugs into the wall. I’m not sure what the difference is between normal speakers and bookshelf speakers and everything else so any guidance is appreciated!

London collection, store, and redeliver service?

Hey all- I’m looking for a service that will collect my belongings from my flat, store it for my two week tenancy gap, and then redeliver it. I can’t help with lifting boxes so is need the service to also provide that. The quotes I’ve gotten so far are 700+ and I’m not sure if that’s the actual going rate. If I’m gonna be spending a lot, I want to be sure I’m using a reliable service. But I’d ofc prefer something less pricy!

Why are no new flats being posted? Should I wait?

I’m currently flat hunting for a one bed in East London, and I’ve noticed that so few new apartments are being posted. I thought summer was meant to be a really busy period. Someone said that the stock has dropped because of the renters rights act… does anyone have any clue when the market might start picking up again? My tenancy ends in July but I have a few places I can stay until September if that might be a better time to find a nice spot. What do y’all think?
