Student moving in!

Hi! I am a (soon to be) UWTSD student coming from Cardiff. I am really looking forward to moving to Swansea, but I have never rented before and I don't really wanna go to a student accommodation, as my partner is also moving in with me when they come to uni in Swansea too. So my own flat would be ideal!

What is the renting game like in Swansea? I have some money saved up already, but I'm aiming for around 2 grand. I have no idea if that'd be enough.

Is there any help for students coming to live in Swansea? Thanks!

Washing machine servicer?

Probably a silly question, but asking it anyways as I’m a little desperate. I just got back from a month long trip overseas and my washing machine has grown lots of mould throughout the drum. I’ve been working at it all day with hardly any success. The scent is still very mildewy. Does anyone know of any cleaning services in the Swansea area that would come and detail it?

Conveyancing Solicitor

Just preparing for a potential sale and onward purchase on the outskirts of Swansea. Can anyone recommend a good conveyancing solicitor in the Swansea area? We're not interested in the cheapest rates but attention to detail and good communication.

Italian language classes?

Hey there! :) I've been studying a small bit of Italian and was wondering if anywhere in Swansea had any group classes or if there are any college courses to learn it?

I know there's the option of a tutor but I really like the idea of studying together with others and getting a chance to meet other people on this journey too ☺️

Thank you 😊

Wild garlic areas

I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this, but I'm looking for some recommendations for wild garlic & mushroom picking please! I am in Port Tennant, but I don't drive, I don't mind catching the train or bus to places as long as the walking distance is not too much of a trek!

2 New Gaming Venues in Swansea

I've noticed a couple of new gaming places in the centre.

https://www.retro-revolution.com/ has just opened and has a selection of games across systems to play. It's in Hight Street arcade.

It also looks like The Office/Three Lamps is reopening as a gaming bar XP Gaming. Sign above the door but no details online and don't know when it opens.

Sofa removal from property

I have two large sofas which I need getting rid of. They've been under tarps for the winter. I was going to repurpose them but I now just want rid. I know the council offer a service to come and get them. Skips are a no go any more due to recent legislation, I believe.

Any other options to get rid?

Classic car show?

Is there a classic car show in Singleton Park today (6th)? I noticed a couple of signs along the front earlier this week but have only been able to find a "poster" on a Facebook page that suggests it is real. Nothing on Swansea council website or EnjoySwansea. Maybe it's cancelled due to weather and their amazing marketing people have scrubbed the entire Internet of every mention?
