Need car advice 😬

So my old car went out completely and the repairs are NOT worth spending on that old car. 😞 Now I’m in need of one however, I’m also trying to get an apartment too but I know I will probably need a car before I can get my apartment. Should I get a reliable used newer car (car note) or should I get a cash car?

My personal opinion is that I wouldn’t spend money on a car that isn’t worth spending on. More than likely will need more repairs down the line and it’ll be more money to put in the car. Lots of dealerships currently have some deals on with it being new reg month (UK) and some incentives to help you get into a newer or another car. You could also trade your current one in and use it as a deposit.
I had to sell my VW Tiguan as it got to the point where it would be hundreds and hundreds of pounds putting into a car that I know just wouldn’t be worth it. Gutted as it was my favourite ever car! (I’ve been in the motorcade nearly 10 years now and driven lots of cars. That one was my favourite. That don’t make that model now annoyingly but traded it in and used it as my deposit.

I found it cheaper to buy a new car off the lot than a used car

I always had beater cars growing up- I financed a brand new Subaru 3 years ago(not saying brand new is the only option) and it’s been so nice to not have to worry if my car will make a trip I’m planning or if I have to bring extra tools and things just in case my car breaks down

Plus the warranties and the peace of mind that safety brings

What cars do you all recommend ? 👀 I don’t need anything big but nothing too small either. So far I’m thinking a Honda Civic… I heard they are good cars

Hello 🫶

Looking to make new friends, no matter where you are! Being at home all the time with just a tiny person for company can be lonely so I’m reaching out to see if anyone is out there in the same position - I am also a really good listener so if you need to rant then I’m here! 👋🏼🤍

Deleting app

I’m so ready to delete this app. I don’t think people actually want to gain friendships. I’ve only had little conversations and that’s it. What a bummer 😒

Socialising

I’m due on July 9th, and lately I just don’t feel like myself socially. Before pregnancy, I loved seeing my friends, making plans, going out it used to genuinely excite me. But now… I just don’t have the energy or desire for it.

All I seem to want is to stay at home, be with my partner, and keep things really low-key. I’ve been cancelling plans a lot, and it’s starting to make me feel like a bad friend or like I’m being selfish. I do love my friends, nothing has changed in that sense I just don’t feel up to socialising at all.

I’m also just so exhausted all the time, and part of me worries I’m isolating myself or that something’s wrong with me.

Has anyone else felt like this during pregnancy? Is this normal? I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who’s gone through something similar 🤍

What do I do if I can’t go back to work

I’m actually doing my first week back at work and it’s already a nightmare. I live in wales so don’t get any free childcare. I feel like I actually can’t go back to work. It’s too expensive to put both my kids in nursery and I currently have mine and my partners mums doing a day each of childminding.
Both parents are already facing challenges doing their day due to both having their own business and personal issues.

If I quit my job, could I go on UC? My partner just has a standard job.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Is it appropriate to give a card for Eid?

My neighbour has been fasting for Ramadan and I wondered if it would be appropriate to give a card for Eid. He gave us a Christmas card and I want to return the favour.

My second pregnancy and it feels so lonely. Almost no one asks about the baby, no gifts (which don’t matter but basically no attention), I feel no one is excited specially because I’ll be having the same gender.

Feels hard because you still go through all the things physical aches and stuff. By yourself!
