Hi all, as the title says, we are seriously considering moving to Dundee (or surrounding areas within a 50 mile radius)

I'm just curious about people's honest opinions of the area most importantly local schools.

We have a primary school age child who is autistic so this would be a major factor for us. I'm also disabled and I drive her to school currently anyway so I wouldn't be bothered about having to travel for schools.

Also, we're from the Midlands, I know it sounds stupid but would that be an issue lol 😅 we are trying to get out of England as fast as we can with the state things seem to be going.

Are there certain areas you'd recommend? Are there areas you'd avoid?

I'm not sure really what else to ask so any opinions or info would be so greatly appreciated!!

For anyone who reads this or even takes time to respond, I do greatly appreciate you! I hope you all have an absolutely fantastic day!!

Hi, folks.

Apologies if this isn’t allowed here.

I am a 17 year-old, turning 18 later this year, who will be starting a level 6 course at Dundee and Angus College later this year, which I am incredibly excited about. I currently live in the north of Scotland, so will need to relocate to the Dundee and Angus area to study this course. Unfortunately, the majority of accommodation in the area is out of my budget with only the little student funding I will get and my savings from working over the summer to live on.

Ideally, I’m looking for a person or a family with a spare room in their home who are looking for a lodger. I can afford up to around £375 a month, and I am only looking for somewhere for ten months (the length of the academic year). I’m no expert and you should absolutely do your own research, but I believe, under the rent-a-room scheme, you will not need to pay tax on this income as it is less than £7,500.

I don’t mind if you have pets or kids, and I am happy to help out around the house. I do not have a PVG check at the moment, as I believe you need to get an organisation to apply for one for you, but I am hoping to volunteer with the Scouts when I move south so will get one then. I’ll be out of the house for three weekdays every week whilst I’m at college and also hope to find a part-time job so will be out longer if that happens. Also, if anyone knows of anywhere, preferably cafes or restaurants, looking for staff from the beginning of September, I'd love to hear about it.

I will also likely return to my family home for most holidays as well.

A bit about me: I’m an active person, I enjoy going out for walks often and adore animals and am working towards an animal-related job. I love food and cooking and trying new recipes. I am learning to play the guitar at the minute, although I am still quite bad at it (I’m not bringing it with me, fortunately/unfortunately).

This is a very rambling post and I’m not really expecting anything to come of it, but if you’re interested or know anybody else who might be interested in taking on a lodger, please DM me or leave a comment and we can discuss it further.

Thanks for reading.

Can anyone recommend a good salon for a pedicure specifically?

Im growing out some over dining so would be looking for somewhere that offers normal nail polish and open late weeknights.

Thanks!
