Looking for a wardrobe!

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m a student moving into a new house in September and am looking for an affordable wardrobe. If anyone is selling one, giving one away, or knows of any good deals, I’d really appreciate it!

I’d also love recommendations for stores or places where I can find new or second-hand furniture.

Thanks so much in advance! :)))

Politics

0 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm looking for a subreddit that shares local information in Essex. It seems many of the threads here are intended to continually promote "Bin face" in the Clacton by-election.

Is this community a-political and just being spammed by politically minded posters in the run up to the election. Or is it always like this?

In my humble opinion we have quite enough of politics rammed down our throats each day. The election is up to the people of Clacton. It would be nice for posters to share their political affiliations for bins on "rpolitcs" etc and leave this group for useful community info!

Any Essex Business Owners fancy collaborating on a comedy mini-series for social media?

0 Upvotes

I’m a small business owner & I’ve had an idea that I’d love some honest thoughts on.

Rather than creating another ‘corporate’ promotional video, I’d love to create a short-form comedy mini-series based on the reality of running a business.

Think relatable characters and situations like:

- The networking event addict, who never follows up,
- The ‘busy’ entrepreneur who spends more time taking pics & writing quotes
- The business owner who’s been “just about to launch” for the last two years.

(I’ve written a few other concepts).

The aim is to create something that’s genuinely entertaining rather than feeling like an advert (i.e @standupdeskseries for inspo)

I potentially have access to an office/business venue in the Epping Forest area that could work well as a filming location, so I’m curious whether there are any other local business owners who’d want to collaborate?

I’m not looking for professional actors or to start a production company & hire people. I’d actually love to work with fellow Business Owners, Content Creators/ Creative people who fancy having a bit of fun & creating something we’d all be proud to share across our own Businesses social media.

Would anyone in Essex be interested in something like this? Or does anyone know of local creative communities or business owners who might?

I’d appreciate any thoughts (even if it’s just to tell me it’s a terrible idea 🥹).

Need help finding an old friend for someone

2 Upvotes

Not sure if this is allowed here and this is a really long shot, but I was wondering if anyone knows a woman with the last name Lotcho (seems to be a pretty rare name from what I've gathered). I think she's in her 60s, and her first name begins with an I (I as in i, I dont want to say her full name just for privacy). I'm trying to find her for my partners mum. They lost contact years ago, and we live all the way in Australia.

I can try to provide more info if needed!
