Some of you may have seen our post a couple of months ago where we were looking for people to trial our business, for those who didn't here's a quick rundown. A friend and I thought it would be cool if you could turn any photo you want into a paint by numbers kit. That way you can paint your dog, cat, partner, the whole family or whatever you want without having to be an artist.

We looked up the idea and found that the current stores in the market were ridiculously expensive or only offered kits without a frame or with a DIY frame (who wants to put together their own frame? Don't you just want to open the box and start painting). So we looked around and talked to a bunch of suppliers and eventually we were able to produce custom paint by number kits cheaper then anywhere else and already framed.

We reached out to you here on Reddit asking you to test them out at cost price and we've received some amazing feedback as a result. Thank you if you were one of our OG customers! We want to continue to grow and get more feedback and reviews though so we're re-opening the offer in case you missed it the first time around or you want to order some more kits.

You can use the code "COSTPRICEREDDIT" to get our kits for cost price (our margins are pretty slim right now, we want to be as affordable as possible). You can get up to 4 kits at that price so feel free to buy a few and plan a date night, family activity or just get your Christmas shopping done early. If you've already ordered with that code it has no been reset so you can get the deal again!

We look forward to getting more feedback and hopefully you'll love our kits enough to spread the word to your family and friends!

A friend of mine created this detailed dog training series a couple of years ago and I feel like it doesn't get the love it deserves. She's a fully accredited dog trainer and built this course over several years in order to save new dog owners money. Hiring a private trainer for your pup normally costs $100+ per hour and taking them to puppy preschool is typically $150 for 6 classes that just go over the basics (sit, stay etc.). Not to mention if you want to take your dog to the more advanced classes after puppy preschool it's hundreds more. She made this course so she can spend time with her pups whilst still helping people train their dogs.

Adrienne teaches everything covered there in this one course so you can teach your pup in the comfort of your own home, at your own pace and for a fraction of the price. The best part is, she works with you as you teach your pup, you can reach out to her whenever you run into any issues and she'll help. So you still get the 1 on 1 expert opinion that you'd get from a private trainer, all you have to do is send her an explanation or video of the problem you're trying to address or issues in teaching that you're having.

Delete this post if it's not allowed but I just thought this might help some new dog parents :)

I assume that’s idiots setting off fireworks just now in roughly the Roath/Adamsdown area and not WWIII kicking off?

Just wanna know if I can nip off to bed or do I have to start doomsday prepping

Hiya, I’m looking to take my teenage sister to get her nails done, for her Christmas present.

Can anybody recommend a nice salon? Ideally in or around the centre. To be honest, the main thing for me, over the quality of the nail art, is somewhere that feels a bit fancy and like a luxurious experience for a 17 yr old girl. It’s as much about us having a day out and her feeling like she’s being treated, as it is about coming away with amazing nails.

Thanks!

Hi everyone, I wanted to let you know about an event that takes place in Swansea each year, aimed at giving musicians from across South Wales a unique opportunity to perform in front of a live audience and receive expert feedback to enhance their playing.

anyone hear a beeping sound in the bay? been going on for a while might just call 111

update - haha turns out it was a fire

Ok I know this sounds crazy but hear me out; I keep a large number of various invertebrates, reptiles and amphibians, their diet mainly consists of insects. I also keep roaches, most are from warmer climates and are slow breeders/will not reproduce in our climate. I want to try and breed my own German cockroaches at home to feed my little ones as they reproduce the fastest, but to do that I need to find some. They are not available online (for obvious reasons) I have never seen any myself but I have heard reports that they are scuttling around here, maybe City road and other places. I have tried pest control services but with no luck either. Anyone know where they are common in Cardiff?

TL;DR: whoever brings me a tub of at least 20 German cockroaches (Blattella germanica) will receive a crisp £10 note.

I’ve been suffering with neck pain for about 8 months.

So far I’ve been to a brilliant osteopath who’s helped me before but couldn’t help this time. I then went to a sports physiotherapist who recommended exercises to help strengthen the neck muscles, didn’t help just made it worse. So I went to see a neck specialist doctor at Spire who referred me for an MRI scan showing no nerve or disc damage or anything like that. He referred me to a physio who gave me different neck exercises to do which have only made the pain significantly worse. I’m completely stuck at what to do and have spent loads of money on this already with no improvement.

Can someone please suggest the best person they know in Cardiff who’s able to help with this issue?

Hiya,

We’re a new indie-rock/pop band based in Cardiff, and we’re looking for a bassist and drummer aged 18-23 ish (not set in stone).

Drop me a dm or comment if you’re interested, we’re currently three guys aged 18-20 looking for guys or girls of similar ages to join us with the aim of gigging and going professional :)

:)

What the title says. Really missing that place ever since it shut down, does anyone know any flea markets as good as that one was?

What I really loved about it + am looking for in the next one is how cheap it was (obviously not expecting same prices after inflation but cheap would still be nice), how big it was and how "homely" it felt - really felt like its own community, you almost got the sense the vendors lived at their stands.

Thanks!

Great night last night at tramshed, three bands topped by an excellent set from oas is. Thoroughly recommend the venue and if you have ever wondered whether the tribute bands are worth a shot - do it ! Oas is was excellent, stereotonics also brilliant a few weeks back.

Anyone else hearing the constant beeping near Albany Rd?

Got my nose done in blue banana, never really had any problems there but I feel like I need a jewellery change for better healing and want to go somewhere else. Any recommendations? Ta.

Just looked out the window and it looks like the sky is really orange around Leckwith. City Stadium direction. Like, much more orange than you'd expect at 9pm in late November.

Anything on fire over there?

Hello I'm looking for recommendations for a cleaner for a relative. I live in Australia so finding good local people isn't easy. I have looked on Google but would appreciate any recommendations particularly for small eco type cleaning businesses. Thank you!

Does anyone know if Richmond Square is still operating? They're not responding to my emails and their website/social media doesn't seem to be up to date

Hey there, I am a 26 year old guy that moved to Cardiff by myself 2 weeks ago. I would like to meet some people here, but I'm not sure how to go about doing that. I work remote as a programmer, so I won't meet anyone via my work.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I could meet people? I have heard people talk about group activities on this subreddit, but i wouldnt know where to look for those. I love traveling and going for hikes. I like playing games (board and video).

Saw a lot of emergency services action on my way home, looked like a huddle of personnel around a car, but I was two far away to make anything out. I hope everyone’s okay.

I will be booking an escape room event for my friends and I this Christmas but I cannot for the life of me make a decision without looking into the videos and pictures without fearing of ruining the surprise for us.

I visited the Cardiff Escape Rooms on St Mary St a while ago and completed the Cardiff Castle Owain Glyndwr room. That was so much fun, I’m just apprehensive about being responsible for booking a room for 6 of us if it turns out to be crap.

Can you suggest specific rooms and companies that you’ve been to, difficulty level and if it was worth your time. Ideally keep it within the city centre.

Hi, is there anywhere in Cardiff with fields that are decently lit in the evening? Looking for somewhere I can throw the ball around for the dog and she’ll be able to see it. Thanks in advance

Me and a few mates are in Cardiff for the weekend and aren’t sure of the best places to watch the footy for tonight/tomorrow, any suggestions would be appreciated

Hi, is there any music big band I can join that is free non auditioned in Cardiff ( doesn't have to be free)? Kinda like what they have at universities but a non university one. Would be nice if it was close to canton but anywhere in Cardiff would be fine. I just want a casual weekly big band I can join to play saxophone in.

Planing to start my master in cardiff . As a international student I expect some part time job to sustain my living expence over there.

Is it possible to get it or I should go for other location.

I am thinking of doing the Bute Park Christmas Light Trail with my partner and was wondering whether it was worth the money. I've been to a similar thing before and it didn't live up to expectations... thanks :)

Hi, does anyone please have any accommodation recs. My budget is £50 max. Shared or single room is fine. Just want to visit Cardiff for a night or two but the two hostels seem really dodgy + bedbug reviews

Thanks in advance :)

I've just seen that the council's city car parking plan is currently open to public consultation, closing THIS SUNDAY 1st DECEMBER. The full plans can be viewed here:

https://www.cardiff.gov.uk/ENG/Your-Council/Have-your-say/Live-Consultations/city-wide-parking-plan-consultation/Documents/City%20Parking%20Plan_ENG.pdf

The public survey where you register your opinion is here:

https://www.cardiff.gov.uk/ENG/Your-Council/Have-your-say/Live-Consultations/city-wide-parking-plan-consultation/Pages/default.aspx

These plans are certainly...a choice. Hopefully if we tell them what we really think it won't fall on completely deaf ears....

Spread far and wide! I found out through word of mouth, not any official channels, which makes me worry not many people are aware of it.

Hi all, just wondering if anyone has had to deal with some moron putting grease on their windscreen overnight?

Had to park my car a bit further away from the house then I'd like last night due to someone abandoning theirs outside mine and woke up this morning to find someone had lumped a spoon full of engine grease onto the windscreen, got a pretty solid idea of who it could be seeing as I've got a very aggressive neighbour who isn't shy about making threats to us so wondering if it's just him targeting me again or are others getting the same experience.

Obviously a stupid and dangerous thing to do as as soon as the wipers went on I couldn't see where I was going, not what you want doing 70 down the motorway.

Update:

We've just seen the suspected neighbour in the street whilst unloading our car, he took his headphones out and told me that if we keep slamming doors (we don't) we'll be going to 'war' he then proceeded to swear at myself and my partner and call us both vermin.

Currently sat reporting the incident to the police because it seems like the guy has some heavy mental health issues, and I think this pretty much cements the fact it was him to do it.

2 tickets for Dracula available in the new theatre in Cardiff tonight (29th November).

The show starts at 19.30.

Tickets are for the stalls, row P.

Face value was £76 for the 2. Open to offers. Can do paypal or bank transfer and I can then email the tickets. I'm also open to other suggestions if there's a better way that protects both parties.

I hope this isn't against any rules.

Thanks.

Afternoon all, heading to the city centre tomorrow for a bit of theatre, and wondering, are there any decent and not outrageously priced alternatives to st David's? As St Ds is going to be absolutely RAMMED with Christmas shoppers and I can't be dealing with it.
