Having some trouble ordering a wristband from the store - wondering if anyone could help?

I'm new to parkrun and I want to order an Ultraband because I don't like running with my phone. However, when I try to add it to my basket it comes up with a message "the name registered to the parkrun ID entered doesn't match the name provided". It's definitely all correct because I've gone over it again and again; and I'm hesitant to proceed anyway just in case my data doesn't track properly. Has anyone else experienced this and have a solution?

Looking for some advice on airport transfers.

Chronic overthinker here. Partner and I are visiting in two weeks and are stuck on which option to go with for getting to and from the airport.

We're landing in CDG at (hopefully) 09:25am on Wed 17th and our homebound flight is at 10:30pm on the 21st. The options we've considered are Magical Shuttle, private transfer, Uber, or TGV. Honestly, I think I've read too much about them all online because they all have at least one aspect that makes me a little nervous.

At the moment I'm leaning towards TGV or Magical Shuttle. However, I'm concerned about whether we'll have to pay extra for our suitcase on the TGV. I know with Magical Shuttle the luggage aspect would be fine, but the chance of potentially having to wait an hour if the bus is full is a bit off putting. I've done coach transfer every time I've been to WDW in Orlando so being on the bus doesn't bother me much. With the TGV, I looked on Trainline and it's kind of expensive, and with the new EES I'm unsure on whether we'd make the train on time. However, it's much faster, which is why I'm stuck between the two.

I'd love to hear your opinions and recommendations on what the best way from CDG to DLP is? TIA! 🫶

Looking for some help with my apple tree. The leaves are turning yellow and I can't figure out whether it's underwatered, stressed from the weather, or both. In the past few days in the UK it's gone from being ~15-20⁰C to being 30⁰C+.

The tree was planted roughly a month ago, then replanted a few days later because it was too deep. It was okay for a couple of weeks but now all the leaves are turning yellow and all the blossom fell off. I've been watering it every other day since the heat got bad, but I don't know whether it's too much or too little. What can I do to help it?

I have this apple tree in my garden, but it has a pretty sunken pit around it, which concerns me due to rain. I'm not eager to dig it up (unless I have no choice), so I was wondering if I could dig around it to make a tree well?

I've attached a picture of the card that I was given, which came with the tree. From my understanding, it's less than a year old. Looking at the tree, the root flare is exposed but it looks like it was buried too deep and the soil was removed to expose it. The soil drains well, but I'm just concerned about how much water the hole is collecting during heavy rain (I live in England so we get a LOT of that).

I'm not sure if it would work, but my idea was to dig out a bigger hole so the bottom is all even and level with the root flare, then surrounding the edge of the hole with bricks like you sometimes see around trees growing in cities (I added a photo of something similar since I'm terrible at explaining my thoughts). Would that work, or should I wait until winter to dig it up and replant at the right depth?

TIA! 🫶🍎
