Hello! I'm newish to makeup, a late starter in my 30s.

I currently own two sets of eyeshadow, one soft warm colours for sort of 'pretty' looks, and one bright shiny colours for more peacock looks (mac burgundyx9 and viseart bijouxette respectively if it matters). Neither of them contain black and I find myself wanting one sometimes.

My ideal purchase would be another compact palette that has black PLUS some more new-to-me shades I might like. Since I don't yet own a lot I thought that should be pretty easy to achieve. But from a brief look around the shops the only palettes I saw with black in were huge 30+ pan things, which kind of give me the stress, and wouldn't fit neatly with my sma

Hello, I have an extremely normal sink basin with a normal 1.5inch rubber stopper on a chain, this type of thing https://www.wilko.com/en-uk/wilko-125-inch-black-basin-plug/p/0343469

I've recently started hand washing some of my clothes in the sink, at which point I realised the plug doesn't seal the sink very effectively. Water escapes slowly enough that you wouldn't notice if you're filling it to briefly wash something, but if I leave something to soak for 30+ minutes I'll come back to find it's fully drained.

I bought a new plug in chrome https://www.wilko.com/en-uk/wilko-15-inch-basin-plug-chrome/p/0343258 and it's actually even worse. Annoying as my bath plug looks identical (though

Hi UKPF! Your mods have been busy :)

FIRSTLY, you might have noticed that our wiki has had a bit of a glow-up over the last couple of months. Every single page has been reviewed and updated, and a bunch of new pages created, including a step-by-step walkthrough of the flowchart. It's looking great - do go check it out.

Huge thanks to everyone who contributed. If you fancy joining us and writing some more stuff for the wiki, come say hi on Discord.

SECONDLY, due to the seemingly inexorable continued growth of the sub, we’re getting stricter about keeping posts on-topic, as off-topic post

I love full fat cottage cheese but it's not available in most of my local shops (which treat cottage cheese as a low-cal health food, sadface). Can anyone recommend any good recipes for rich and creamy cottage cheese? I'd be delighted with small curd or large curd cottage cheese, both are great.

I make paneer and yoghurt regularly and mozzarella very occasionally so I'm a beginner but not totally new. Most of the cottage cheese recipes I've seen online look exactly like my paneer (using just lemon juice to curdle the milk) minus the pressing into a slab, but I've tasted the curds from that process before and they're not really the taste or texture of cottage cheese to me?

I've also seen s

I recently got a custom made set from someone on insta (https://www.instagram.com/urbanbirdclothing/) and I love it, it's gorgeous, fits perfectly, and it was super fun picking all the elements of it to make something custom to my tastes and shape.

I wonder if people have any similar recommendations? Anyone on insta or etsy or similar?

Hi wonderfully knowlegable UKPFers.

Do lenders mind (/know? care?) if you increase your borrowing on your mortgage two remortgages in a row?

I'm contemplating either borrowing a bit extra when my mortgage is up for remortgage next year, and then another bit extra after another 2 year fix. Or I could wait and borrow the full amount I need in 3 years' time.

I'd be under 60% LTV both times, but borrowing to the max of my affordability compared to my salary.

I'm wondering if it's better to wait and do it all in one go, if I might be likely to be turned down the second time.

Halifax's banking app has just tried to get me to sign up to their premium bonds-ish product. https://www.halifax.co.uk/savings/savers-prize-draw.html

As it happens I currently have £5k in my old Marcus account giving me about £3 of interest per month. One £100 prize within two years would beat that.

Has anyone crunched the numbers on the odds? I googled but only found old articles from before the latest round of interest rate / premium bond prize cuts.

I understand the number of qualifying accounts will vary each month while the number of prizes stays fixed, but surely there's a rough number? Or is it confidential?

With lockdown getting to me but no car or desire to use public transport, I really fancy taking a whole day out to just walk and walk and walk and hopefully see somewhere I haven't before.

I walk at a pretty normal/brisk pace. Does anyone have any good ideas on possible loops I could do that would take all day? I don't mean strolling to The Trout and back!

FWIW I'm starting around Donnington Bridge.

I was posting an ad on spareroom and noticed in their guidance that when you're looking for a housemate, you are allowed to specify (so effectively, discriminate by) against people by age, sex, sexual orientation etc in a way that would not be legal if you were renting an entire property in which you do not live yourself. However, discriminating by race is absolutely not permitted, including when searching for a housemate to live with yourself.

I assume this cuts both ways so for example you wouldn't be able to say have a 'BAME household' the way that I currently see ads for LGBT households or female-only households.

This is reiterated in the guidance here: https://www.citizensadvice.org
