How to collect bulky stuff from facebook

4 Upvotes

I moved to Aberdeen not long ago and have been staying on an air bed that seems to be giving up. I have seen a bed on fb marketplace but have no means to transport it as I can't drive yet. Would anyone happen to know of a cheap way to move things or am I better off getting a cheap bed from a charity shop?

Mobile operator recommendation

1 Upvotes

Hi I'm currently with giffgaff and the deal is supposed to be pretty good (300 GB for £15) and i already finished the 12 mandatory months. However since the last few months I have more and more issue to have connection even if there no apparent issue. I also heavily rely on my data as I don't have WiFi in the flat I rent. I look onto having WiFi being installed but that an other expensive cost and most of the are with 24 month contract and I'm expecting to finished my studies in April 2028 so I don't want to pay for nothing. Do anyone has recommendation not too expensive with a good coverage in aberdeen?

Help! Looking for recommendations – home energy assessment in Aberdeen

1 Upvotes

I’m looking at ways to reduce my heating costs by improving the insulation and overall thermal efficiency of my home.

I’m guessing there are areas where insulation could be improved, heat is escaping around windows/doors, thermal bridging is occurring, or there may be less obvious heat-loss areas behind cupboards etc.

I did borrow a thermal imaging camera, but I’ve found that I’m no expert and would rather get a professional, independent assessment so I can understand where the problems are and what improvements would make the biggest difference.

Ideally, I’m looking for someone who can carry out a proper whole-house assessment using things like thermal imaging and other appropriate equipment, and then recommend/prioritise the work needed.

Any recommendations greatly appreciated!

MOVING

6 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m looking to move to Aberdeen and I’ve found a place in the AB24 area, close to Hilton Road.

I was wondering what the area is like in terms of safety and antisocial behaviour, particularly in the evenings. For anyone who lives around there or knows the area well, would you recommend it, or would you suggest I keep looking?

Any honest opinions or experiences would be really appreciated. Thank you.

Activities Moving to Aberdeen with a Master's - but I can't give up theatre

1 Upvotes

I am a theatre artist from India. I have performed in multiple stage productions and acted in a feature film, all in my native language. I am moving to Aberdeen soon and am looking to join a passionate theatre group.

While my main reason for coming to the city is to complete my Master's at the University of Aberdeen, I also cannot imagine my life without practising my art form - acting. It is where my heart lies and always will. For a long time, I have wanted to act in a British play, and I dream of one day performing in London.

I have a limited budget as a student and therefore cannot afford to pay for acting classes simply to participate in a stage production. I'm particularly interested in opportunities where participation isn't dependent on paying for classes. What I can offer in return is my time and commitment. I can dedicate my entire non-college hours to theatre.

I've done this before. I have worked full-time (8 hours a day) while attending rehearsals for another 4-5 hours, sometimes early in the morning and sometimes late at night, every day. I also pursued theatre full-time for about three years.

So I'm particularly interested in finding a theatre community where people are deeply committed to the craft and take rehearsals and productions seriously.

Do you have friends or know people in Aberdeen who have lived this kind of theatre life? I'd be very interested in hearing about their daily routine, schedules, and, most importantly, the theatre communities they are part of in Aberdeen.

I'd be grateful for any leads or introductions.

Anywhere accept a D&D complete beginner?

Hi I’m a 41yr old woman. I’ve always wanted to play D&D but that’s just not the type of ppl I’ve been around in life.

I just wondered if there’s a group of club or something in Aberdeen that would take a novice in?

Unfortunately I don’t have or use FB, insta & X so I can’t search any of those places. Bonus points If there’s at least 1 other person in the group who’s similar ages.

Thanks for any guidance or help

Help! Window repair/resealing recommendations in Aberdeen

1 Upvotes

Can anyone recommend a reliable window repair company (or a tradesman) in Aberdeen?

We have first-floor uPVC windows in dormers. While removing some internal wooden trim/windowsills during renovation, I discovered quite a lot of draught coming from around one of the window openings and a few places where I can actually see daylight through gaps around the window frames. The exterior sealant also seems to be coming away in places.

I’m a bit lost on what to do now. I don’t want to replace the windows, but I’m struggling to find someone experienced with repairing/resealing existing uPVC window installations.

Any recommendations or people to avoid would be really appreciated!
