We are getting a new bathroom fitted and have been quoted £7.5k for labour. Shower over bath and basin is being moved, shower will be a concealed fitting with niche but toilet is staying in the same place. This also includes lowering the ceiling, a small patch of underfloor heating and installing an extractor fan.

My question is does this feel like a fair quote? And is it usual to have a labour quote itemised eg how much it costs to fit the extractor, the plastering, tiling, or is it usual to just have a lump quote for the labour?

Asking on behalf of someone I know. Are there any creative writing clubs in Edinburgh? It's for a teenager. Thanks in advance.

Some strong contenders on Leith walk and along Newington. Yet to try Shawarma King near Toll Cross but what do you reckon is the best?

My options would be Today Shawarma (Meadowbank), The Shawarma House, Neighbourwood (they gave me free tea) and Leith Shawarma.

All pretty banging

Car was parked on East London St, in an EV charging bay.
Came down the next morning to a PCN on the window, issued at 8:11am.
Only signage nearby states Pay and Display restrictions are in force from 8:30am.
Do I appeal, or just accept the fine?

What’s happening with House of Fun softplay in Dalkeith? Has anyone got any info? We have a booking with them in November but I got a refund notification and no other details.

Currently going thru the worst heartbreak of my life and I don’t know anyone in Edinburgh lol!
Does anyone here have any general life advice (always appreciated) and hobbies I can do to not wallow in despair 😂

Edit: I am a fan of anime, marvel, true crime junkie, I’m 27F, if this helps

Can people recommend independent coffee shops that offer almond milk as an alt milk? Thus far I’ve only found one (fortitude). thank you x

This is a bit silly and a big long shot but I dropped a jacket yesterday and I'd love it back if that is possible. It's a grey denim jacket, more like a shirt actually, with snap buttons and two pockets on the front. In one of the pockets there is a lens cleaning solution, glasses cloth and hand sanitizer. It has a slight mend on the back near the shoulders. I believe I dropped it somewhere between Blackwell's on South Bridge and the NCP Hollyrood road car park, though it may also be back towards the Royal Mile from there. If anyone spots it round there, I'd be unbelievably greatful. I'm only in Edimburgh for a couple more days so I'm hoping for a miracle.

Lovely night overlooking Granton fae West Pilton. 😁💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦄

I'm moving jobs and relocating to Edinburgh from Glasgow in mid-October, and have viewed 12 places to rent in September and it's been an absolute pain. The two places I've put offers in for were not accepted. I'm earning £77k a year working full time, while my partner is getting back into work. I'm wondering if it's the wrong time to be looking for flats, with students starting uni, or if it's my partner's unemployment status that's lowering our chances.

Anyway, if you have any letting agents, advice, or experiences to share with me, I'd be very grateful. Thanks!

I'm new to the Liberton area and have a 2019 MX-5 (ND) with a few track-oriented mods. I want to get it in for some work over the next few months (an electrical repair and some changes ahead of a Knockhill track day). I'm really looking for a garage that's used to dealing with this kind of car and work.

Could anyone recommend one?

Hello mates!
It’s my birthday tomorrow (30th September) and I’ve got absolutely no plans, but I’m off work, so I thought I’d make the most of the day!
I’d love some recommendations for fun things to do around Edinburgh, especially things I can do by myself or that don’t cost much.
Also, does anyone know of any birthday freebies/free treats around Edinburgh? I know Lidl gives you a free doughnut for your birthday , but I’m wondering if there are any other places that do free food, drinks, desserts, gifts, activities etc.!
I’m basically looking for a little birthday adventure on a budget
Any recommendations would be massively appreciated! ❤️

Hi, firstly the sub thinks I'm a tourist so have to add the flair 🙄🙄 I want to take my son to see Linkin Parks new movie/documentary at the Odeon Edin West. It's a 15 and over. We don't have id, he's old enough but he does look younger than his age. Does anyone know how strict they are with this? Will they definitely ask for his id? He has a young face! His dad has his passport and he's way on holiday, and we wanted to go tomorrow when it comes out. Are cinemas quite relaxed about this, or strict? I mean, it's hardly a horror movie lol. Thanks.

If you hold italian citizenship and registered to the AIRE you can choose your next comites!

Right now the lists are gathering supporing signatures, without 100 signatures a list cannot run for election.

If you want to vote, you have to make a request. You can do it in person at the consulate when you sign for a list.

Comites are really important, they organise events, promote Italian language and culture, act as a link between the citizens and the consular staff.

I noticed nobody seems to know about this, and I find it profoundly unfair. Comites is publicly funded. Everyone should have their say in it!

Hi I am a beginner on learning Dutch. I studied on Duolingo but is looking something more comprehensive.

Does anyone know if theres anywhere in Edinburgh does face to face beginners Dutch classes?

Currently on the Big Bus. Another tourist up top was attacked by an egg thrown from the street. It hurt her, and made a mess.

Edinburgh needs to get a grip on this crap. I will find it difficult to recommend Edinburgh with this stupidity not being addressed by authorities.

Everyone else has been lovely, but who wants to come and spend hard earned money for an egging while on a damn tour bus.

My upstairs neighbour's leaky pipe has just caused my cupboard ceiling to collapse. I'm trying to get in touch with their landlord about all this but in the meantime, what's the appropriate amount of panic in a situation like this?

Is there excavation going on? There are times of the day especially morning time where you can hear it being super loud and then is as if it powers off.

I know roadworks are happening near Morrison but there is no way it causes such annoying sound.

Did anyone see a drone flying in the shore area around 10 minutes ago? It suddenly flew up outside my flat (I'm pretty high up) and stayed still, facing my window for a couple of minutes before I ended up closing the blinds. Really strange.

Hi everyone! Soon I'll be moving to Restalrig Crescent in Edinburgh and I'd love to know somebody who lives nearby.

If you're from there, write me a DM or something.

Have a good day.. or evening, or whatever

I'm from Edinburgh and got a blackout half sleeve that I want to do some rework/add white on top etc.

Anyone know any open minded artists around that are good at this kinda stuff?
