How about Llandudno sleazy?
Or maybe more inland like Wrexham/Cheshire way so your nearer to a airport for travel.
You can meet up with emerald and go walking 😂.
Nothing wrong with moving to Wales from England, some places are full of midlanders 😂.
Also all this about people being not being welcoming it happens everywhere especially villages and small towns, not just a Welsh thing.

Yea rusty.

Yh they can threaten all they like. Can't really see them actually taking me to court - not worth their time or money but I'll keep you posted!

I expect a few letters yet but I'm quite chilled so will watch what happens

They're usually from private companies and don't actually say they're a fine they use deliberately obscure wording to make you think it's an official fine

If you've parked on a double yellow line for instance that's a parking fine not a "parking charge notice" from a private company.

There's quite a bit on MSE about how to deal with them

After reading on here that this is a scam I have now cancelled the debit card I used to pay for it. Even though no money has left my account I thought it the sensible thing to do. Thank you for the alert

I was concerned about this when it was first posted and asked how people had paid.
Seemed like such a bargain especially with free postage. 🤔

Would have chanced a PayPal purchase but it wasn't an option.

Hope no one gets into difficulty.

I love the house you found for Lalli.Snap...

got me thinking theres a few bungalows around that area too for the Sleazy's...

and then there this one

www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/149443664#/?channel=RES_BUY

The price looks really good (perhaps Snap has some insight to the area) but apart from it being just a guide price where they hope to get more for it than advertised or indeed its dolls house size .....it looks like one if I were buying I'd want to know a bit more about.....the video tour suggests it's not huge but put a shed/cave in the garden and you free up another useful room in the second bedroom.

Today I have a nothing day...OH has been trapped in York...something to do with trains so until he arrives home at some point today the internet is mine to play with!

I dont care what happens my Rosie comes with me i wouldnt even think of tying her up to a fence.

I have had an early text from gp got to book a phonecall about a letter they have received.

I am thinking its the rheumo doc letter i got one too

If its last gp who going to call me i think i am going get a telling off

Gp and rheumo doc want to tell me stuff in english not double dutch then i would know

Sleazy good luck with injections, I had no trouble with my covid one .

Is Newtown still that awful bottle neck, I remember being stuck there each time we went on holiday to the Brecons, for a ridiculous amount of time just because of the way the traffic lights etc were set up.
Lovely bungalows but the traffic problem would bother me.

Josie, I'm sure Cyprus is safe but it's not really what you want to see is it.
The world's in a mess, I agree with tweets poor Florida it's heartbreaking and it's those without money who are stuck. To be destroyed by nature is bad enough but all of these wars are just mindless 😢
It just makes me echo yet again how lucky we are.
