We're toying with the idea of moving in with one of our parents for a (very limited!!!!) time in order to straighten out the finances a bit and find a nicer place to rent. (nicer meaning where the landlord isn't 5 doors down and constantly watching).


If we did this we'd need to put some stuff in storage. Can anyone recommend anywhere, and give me some idea what the cost would be?


Cheers

I really recommend Henfield Storage - http://www.storage-units.co.uk


Reasonable rates and no rip off insurance, padlock, etc scams that some of the others try on you. They've just opened a new place near South Bermondsey station.


How much depends on how big a storage room you want, but they have all prices on their website.

Can you not store your belongings in their loft, if they have one?


When I renovated my flat, about 5 years ago, it cost us about ?60 a month to store things, and that wasn't a very big storage room - boxes with belongings, not furniture. Have a good clear out first and see what you can get rid of first.

This is good advice. Storge costs a lot more than people think - especially when they add insurance to the top (which you're never told about until the very last minute when it's too late to back out). If you can, use whatever loft space friends and family can offer you. If you must use storage then look at some of the firms out in Croydon. The nearer to London the higher the price - so Croydon is cheaper than locations that are handier to ED. I applaud you for tackling your finances head-on and wouldn't want to see you waste money on storage if you don't have to.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......

      Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.

      Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
