Top of Odessa Road, pretty much opposite the tap. Dangerously easy to pop out for a cheeky pint.

you are using the toe to look after the baby.

I said it was fun, I didn't say it was correct.

Fair do's. Although boozers is one thing we're not short of there's 5 and a tap room all within 10 mins walk of my house (not that they're much use at the min), coffee is getting better but granted we've got a fair way to go before peak hummus/sourdough is a reality.

I guess it depends what you consider trade offs? I'm 5 mins walk from all the arches on Winchelsea Road and the flats. It's also 15/20 mins walk to the centre of Leytonstone depending on how much of a wiggle I get on. Granted South of Romford Road end has a lot less going on but you can get a lot more for your money on that side.

If you're looking at leyton/Walthamstow you should have a look at forest Gate. Ticks all the boxes you've listed and once crossrail opens it'll have better transport connections than both. It's already less than 15 minutes into Liverpool Street as it is and your money will go a lot further.

Getting injured in stupid and totally avoidable ways.

Slipped on the stairs on Sunday, broke my toe. Looking after a 10 month old baby with a broken toe is fun.

I can't even remember the last time I used the dock, usually quicker to just start typing out the the app name in spotlight.

Doesn't the porlex fit inside the aeropress? I thought that was the one everyone used for as a travel combo? I could be be wrong though as I don't use an aeropress myself.

Better to over pay then claim it back to be safe, I paid the July payment early by mistake one year and it got refunded without issue.

Scrambled eggs in the microwave is an absolute abomination.

oh, Jimmy, Jimmy...

Just needs a lick of paint.

No idea, everything is hypothetical at the moment but there's a strong possibility. We were always going to do the loft and with a 2nd baby on the way it's definitely needed. We'll get an increase in downstairs living by removing the downstairs bathroom. I guess when you start looking at all the work it's easy to just want everything done.

Tbh the more my wife and I talk about it the more we're probably just going to get the loft done and see about the rest later on. It makes the most sense from a budget/stress point of view, there's also a reasonably high chance that my wife's work might ask her to set up a department in France in a year so it's probably not the best idea. 😂

We've got a 9 month old and another one on the way in May so if we were having them both done together we'd definitely be moving out during.

We're definitely getting the loft done, the side return is more of a question mark as getting the loft done would mean we could remove the downstairs bathroom and instantly get a dining area. Just need to weigh up the cost vs return of whether it's worth it. Too many ways to burn money!

Continuing on the loft conversion chat, we want to get ours done and a side return at the same time, has anyone done both before? Our neighbours had their loft done really well but they only do lofts, are there companies that do both our would or just be a case of getting 2 different ones in and project managing it?

Never done anything like this before so I'm totally clueless. I'm E7/E11 border if anyone knows a local firm.

I thought they'd hang on for the draw absolutely unbelievable that they won it. Hopefully I can catch some highlights when I get the kiddo down for her first nap.

We're going to get absolutely wrecked in india 😂

Really enjoying 3, leveling up to enemy difficulty seems really well balanced, still hard but not throw your Controller through the TV levels of frustration. Loving the VATS shooting system as well because I am normally dog shit at shooters.

I'm sure I'll end up seeing them everywhere now my horizons have been widened.

It's the barley as well, 1 and 2 are Scottish barley. 3 is islay grown barley from a local farmer.

1 is pretty much just bourbon and Tennessee whisky barrels and 2 is the experimental edition that can be matured in anything.

I've got an 8.3 on the go at the minute, easily the most fragile octomore I've had. Touch of water opens it up nicely but you have to be really careful as it doesn't take much to wash it out.

Gutted, real shame they went under, always had great service from them :(

Looks like lounge gabba fan.

Brutally easy to drink for 10%!

Go on then, Sunday funday.
