Impossible to find a rental in Cheltenham

Uni student 20F and my partner is full time employed 24M. Cheltenham area, looking at 1 bed apartments.

I've put in about 5 or 6 applications now and they've all been rejected, I've been looking for a month. It's demoralising and stressful, my partner can't come to viewings so it's just me organising and going to them.

We can't afford anywhere more than £875pcm.

Is it recommended to offer above asking price? Should I say about a gaurantor and my partner's extensive savings? I'm on mailing lists but even that isn't working.

We keep getting beaten by single applicants.

Any advice is more than welcome 🥲

Toy donation

Is there anywhere in Gloucestershire that take in children's toys which then pass these onto struggling families for free this Christmas?. I don't want to put them for free on Facebook or to some company that'll profit from them.

Climate difference between glos and bris

The past couple years I’ve had to spend some time in Gloucester/ Gloucestershire. Although from south glos I consider myself more from Bristol rather than Gloucester. ( as any sane person would do )

An example is that I worked for a while in Stroud and one winter there was tons of snow , when I started my commute there was a light dusting but pretty much nothing and gradually the closer I got to Stroud the heavier the settled snow seemed to be.

Also , I work ( now in Bristol ) alongside someone from the cam area , everyone seems to think he’s crazy when he says how bad the weather is at his home compared to down here in Bristol , it never seems to be like one area has a bit more or less rain than the other , it seems to always be a vast difference.

Can anyone offer me some insights to this or is it possible that like my colleague , I too am crazy…

Does Gloucester have sirens. Those that sound like the ones from the war?

I ask as there are sirens going off up north for the floods.

NY Fireworks in Gloucestershire

We’re new to Gloucestershire and we’re wondering if there are any firework displays for New Years at midnight?

Sometimes different venues/ restaurants do their own little display, does anyone know any places that do it/ seen any previously in the last couple of years?

We’d love to celebrate NYE at home but then drive out somewhere to see anyone doing fireworks at midnight.

We’re based in Gloucester, but any recommendations around Gloucestershire would be appreciated.

Broadband?

I am moving to the GL3 area in Innsworth and it seems that there is very limited broadband options. Does anyone have any recommendations for broadband as the only options seem to be gigaclear which I have never heard of and have quite a few bad reviews and v4 which again I have never heard of. Thanks in advance!

Nail salon recommendations

Ladies, I’m looking for a budget friendly nail salon/ person to do builder gel nail extensions for me. I have previously had experiences of doing my nails and getting them over buffed after which my real nails have become brittle and damaged. I have now let them grow (4 months) but also stress bite them.

Thank you 💕

My ghost sighting at the new inn

In April of this year I went on a ghost tour with my boyfriend and my best friend, during the night we were shown a lot of places where there had been ghost sightings but didnt experience anything until towards the end of the night.

We were taken to a room that was left in ruin, I can't remember why but you will see what I mean in the images I will add

On the wall there were pictures of the children that had once stayed there and a nanny who looked like she was in her 20s

The layout was a large square room with two rooms attatched. The first room (Where my phone was) was opposite the entrance and was more similar to a cupboard, I reached around and pointed the camera right and took 2 pictures in rapid succession

Before this I had taken a picture of the second room, to the right of the entrance, which now acts as proof that the room was empty and therefore the picture cannot have been staged

The wall between these 2 rooms was damaged and this is where i saw it

shot of room 2 (empty)

first shot of the whole between room 1 & 2

second shot of the whole between room 1 & 2

Anywhere in Gloucester/Cheltenham/Hereford/surrounding that specialises in the “awkward sibling” photoshoot trend please? Or know a photographer who does the classic family portraits? Something in the style of the lovely example photo

Looking to rent

Hi all, I'm looking to move out of my parents desperately now. it hasn't been a great place to live for a while, as soon as I turned 18 this year I have been looking multiple times a day on rightmove zoopla openrent onthemarket and even Gumtree and fb marketplace. I can't seem to find anywhere pet friendly with a Budget under 1000pm in Gloucester or Cheltenham vacinity. whenever I've tried to book a viewing I'm not able to go on the exact day it was listed and so someone immediately takes it. Well I am writing here in case there's any landlords or anyone that has connections.. I'm kind of out of options, I want to start my life (house share is out of the question) I even have the money to pay a whole year upfront and more and tax return forms to prove it, just finding the place seems impossible

Software developer.

Anyone here fluent in JavaScript, specifically node.js and REACT?

A software company is looking for someone with experience in the above languages, with the possibility of an initial 2 year contract + share options.

An interest in aviation would be a bonus but not essential.
