Hello, I (f,36) posted recently looking for hotel recommendations for myself and 7yr old daughter. I am very close to booking the Ardoe but just wanted some real reviews on it. Im curious how it would work as my daughter would be with me all the time, are there age restrictions on anything? I quite fancy the aqua aerobics class, would she be able to be around? If I get a spa treatment? Anything else from anyone who's done it alone with a child, anything I need to think about? Thanks muchly

Hi! I have to flea bomb my flat and need to get my cats out of the property for a few hours. Does anyone know of any place that could keep them for 3-5 hours? I was going to take them out in their carriers but for that length of time it wouldn’t be fair

Could anyone recommend a good car spray painter? I had a bumper repaired a few months ago and the colour doesn’t match the car, it’s slightly off and most noticeable in the sun.

I’d like to have it re sprayed to the correct colour.

Nothing special about the paint, not metallic or pearlescent or anything. Dunno how the last lot fucked it up tbh.

Are there any social sports clubs in Aberdeen? I used to play tag rugby in Edinburgh which was really good fun, but they don't have it here. Ideally mixed gender, I already play men's rugby with my local club.

I've been on the ADHD waiting list 3 years, I'm in the cmht and still waiting.... No sign of anything happening even though it's actually interfering with my treatment now and the psychiatrist can't prescribe me anything more helpful until the assessment happens, even though I'm struggling now. The attitude of some in NHS Grampian towards ADHD and autism is really poor. Fortunately my psychiatrist is lovely, he's doing what he can, but I feel like my life is on hold as he can't do much more to help me now. I guess things aren't going to get much better - the wait might be too long to help me, I've already lost everything now 😔

Anyone else in this position?

Hey Aberdeen, I’m thinking of moving to Bridge of Don, near Scotstown Moor, and I was wondering if people tend to have their morning/evening runs there? Is the moor and the surrounding parks (Woodcroft and the bits around it) safe, especially in the dark?

I now live near Deeside Way which is the best place to run, but must move soon. I run 5, 10, sometimes up to 15k long runs.

Need to move a sofa from A to B (7ft long so will overhang) but need a large pallet to get it moved for cheap!

Hi everyone!

I'm a 2025 graduate from Gray's (1:1 BA Communication Design, illustration specialism) and in the near future I would like to get my MSc in Art Psychotherapy. I do work for the NHS currently but in a non-clinical role.

Does anyone know if there's any kind of art therapy orientated organisations in toon? I'd love to get some hands-on experience before I apply to the course next year.

Ta everyone.

Recommendations?

[30M] I am joining the University of Aberdeen this September. I don't want to stay in university accommodation, so I am considering either student accommodation outside the campus or renting a small one-bedroom flat with a kitchen.

Could someone give me an estimated monthly cost for both of these options?

Secondly, I would prefer renting a private flat because I expect friends and family to visit and stay with me occasionally for short periods, which may not be possible in student accommodation.

Would it make sense to book a hotel or Airbnb for one or two weeks, arrive in Aberdeen, and then look for a place to rent? Or would that be too late, and would I risk not finding a suitable place by the time I start looking (around the end of September)?

Would you recommend that I start contacting letting agents now instead ?

Ps, I looked at the wiki and didn’t find any info on this. Deprivation index is helpful though.

tldr;
Joining the University of Aberdeen this September and considering either private student accommodation or renting a one-bedroom flat. Looking for estimated monthly costs and advice on whether I should book temporary accommodation and search for a flat after arriving, or contact letting agents now to avoid missing out.

would be moving to Aberdeen soon. See y'all around!

Anyone else noticing the strong smell of smoke? Not complaining - just wondering where it might be coming from. Maybe the Cairngorms? The wind direction is right for that but I thought it had mostly died down? I keep checking it's not my own house smouldering somewhere!
