I used to be with Mr Day at Southernhay but he’s retired. I’m interested in good experience and also dealing with nervous patients rather than cost - just looking for a really good dentist I can trust.

Hi all

My roommate lost her smoke tin over the weekend near the arena in pinhoe. It's a little brass colour tin with a picture of a dinosaur on the front. Let me know if ya find it, its sentimental to her

Hi my partner and I met and used to live in Exeter and we would love to have our wedding there or nearby.

We’re not looking for official wedding venues because they are very expensive. Instead we’re looking for any private hire pubs / restaurants / village halls / dry hire venues we can host 40 people for dinner and drinks etc. happy to have our civil ceremony somewhere else.

Ideally we want to spend less than £5,000 on the venue hire and food for everyone.

Has anyone got any suggestions we can look at?

Thanks.

Has anyone had an experience of getting solar panels installed on their house living in one of the conservation areas of Exeter?

It looks like I need to apply for planning permission and pay an additional £600 for the planning application? Am I missing something surely this a little backwards

1. I'm looking to make a monitor stand. I'm thinking of wanting to do something with a live edge wood. I hope that's the right term. Is there any places around Exeter where I could get some live edge wood?

2. I'm also looking for two long thin bits of fabric. Looking around I can find places where I can buy fabric that matches the height but not the width. So I'd be required to cut it but I know for a fact if I cut it I'd end up with an uneven cut. So I'm looking for fabric to a size 226x22cm. Is there a place or person that anyone knows that could help me?

Any and all helps and suggestions will be appreciated

Hi everyone i live in an accommodation owned by francis louis and i was supposed to move out today to a new place but the new place is going through a tenant referencing and its taking longer than expected because francis louis hasn’t approved my residential check yet so i mailed them and told them that my move in is delayed because of you guys and i wont move out of my current accommodation till I get the keys to the new place. Can they force me out of my apartment? Change the locks or something?

Over the past year I’ve been really unwell with a sudden illness that has resulted in multiple trips to RD&E, admissions to several wards, A&E, ambulance, surgery, tests etc.

I’ve now had the surgery I needed after a 4 month wait, and I’m at home recovering. ❤️‍🩹

I just wanted to share somewhere how incredibly moved I feel about the NHS / RD&E staff. It’s hard to put into words but here goes. I’m not on Facebook or anything, so here felt right for me.

I have experienced something every time I come home from the RD&E. I can only describe this as an ‘afterglow’. This feeling lasts for months. It’s simply because of the outstanding care I have received from all members of staff I have interacted with, which must be in the 100s now!

Of likely over 100+ staff-patient interactions I’ve had over the last yr, I can only remember 2 people who were a bit off.. which I think statistically, is pretty amazing..!

From the receptionist to the porters, surgeons, admin, test result team (bloodworks?) doctors, nurses, auxiliary, housekeepers, paramedics, catering team (and many more I have probably missed!)

The thing that always gets me is they are literally just doing their job - but the kindness I have experienced has really healed me (emotionally/mentally) after going through so much (physical) trauma.

THANK YOU 🫶😭❤️

So apparently we're just cool with genocide now?

Hi all 👋🏻 My partner and I are planning on moving to Exeter next year. We currently live in Bristol, I grew up in Cornwall, so we are migrating a bit further down south and want a smaller, more wholesome, quieter place to settle now.

We will both be 30 next year, I'm a qualified art teacher so would be looking for that sort of work, both of us are creatives. We want to start a family over the next sort of 3-4 years so this obviously comes into the decision of where to live.

I've been to Exeter quite a few times over the years and my partner and I have visited together a few times recently before deciding we absolutely loved it and settled on it as a place to move to. But my question is for you all, which are some areas to look at that you would recommend AND avoid?

We both drive so aren't too bothered about being super close to city centre, it would be nice to live in an area that has a couple of shops/cafe's nearby (ish) but also not a deal breaker.

We also aren't rich lol, so somewhere wholesome but good value would be the sweet spot!! We will also probs rent first, before we buy a property, but it's good to get locals who really know the area's advice.

We stayed in St Thomas previously and that seemed like a nice area, any other suggestions would be fabbbb

Thanks in advance!! 😊

Some good news for local families with loved ones using Hospiscare - a new family accommodation space, The Lodge, has opened at Hospiscare'a Searle House to provide a comfortable place for relatives of loved ones receiving care.

Having stayed at a children's hospice with my own family during my sister's life, I know that being able to stay close by can make an enormous difference.

This fantastic project has been made possible thanks to £898,600 in Department of Health and Social Care capital funding, supporting Hospiscare in continuing its incredible work for people and families across our community.

Hi everyone, I'm coming to Exeter for a few days, and I am looking for independent restaurant recommendations in and around the city. Do you have any local legend eateries, hidden gems or locals favourite restaurants. Thanks so much.

hi, I’m looking for a room, studio, or 1-bedroom property in Exeter, ideally within walking distance or a short bus ride of the city centre. Happy to consider a house share or living alone open to anything that fits.

Looking to move in from 4 Sep.

If anyone has any leads, knows of anything becoming available, or has any recommendations, I’d really appreciate it if you could share.✨

The Macc Lads are a rock band from Macclesfield, formed in 1981 and long celebrated as one of the UK’s most notorious cult acts. Self-proclaimed as “the rudest, crudest, lewdest band in the land,” their music blends punk energy with tongue-in-cheek humour, fuelled by raucous live shows and lyrics steeped in mischief. Across the 1980s and 1990s they released albums such as Beer & Sex & Chips n Gravy (1985) and Live at Leeds (1988), cementing their place in alternative rock history with songs that were as provocative as they were anthemic.

Though often controversial, The Macc Lads built a loyal following through relentless touring, with gigs becoming infamous for their chaos, comedy and crowd participation. After disbanding in the mid-1990s, the group reformed in 2018, returning to the stage with a sold-out tour that proved their cult status had endured. Today, they remain a quintessential example of British rock irreverence—raw, rowdy and impossible to ignore.

Tickets £26

NO2/ laughing gas I’ve tried both tips, newsbury scrap yard and a gas shop, but it seems nowhere will take them, does anyone know a scrap shop or junk yard that will take, I will deliver them so no need for collection

Some really positive news for children's social care that may interest members of this subreddit.

The Government has announced a £3.46 million investment into children's social care across the region, including funding for a new South West Fostering Hub to help local authorities recruit, assess, approve and support foster carers through a shared approach.

I'm really pleased to see this investment; by strengthening support for foster carers and helping recruit and retain more people, we can give more local children the start in life they deserve.

I've messed up my Achilles tendon pretty badly and after mid-October I'm going to need some help getting it as close to full health as I can

Anyone know a good, reliable physiotherapist within hobbling distance of one of the train stations (or failing that a bus stop)?

I have to travel from Exeter Airport this week and I will need to rock up an hour or two early and take a few calls on Teams before my flight.

I seem to remember that you got one hour of free Internet access, which is no problem – just wondering if anyone has any experience of taking calls at the airport departures and any tips? Mainly, if the Wi-Fi fails or is rubbish, has anyone had any success using 4G or 5G there?

Cheers 🙏

I just went out the front and walked round to sainsburys and the whole area stinks

Hi, I have a bit of an odd request:
Does anyone know of a park in or near Exeter that has one of those walls with a goal painted on it? I dont remember having seen one at all in Devon in years of living here, maybe its a Southeastern thing?

A friend and her boyfriend are stopping in to visit me and my family on their way to Cornwall this Friday. We’d like to go out for dinner with them, ideally somewhere on our side of town (Pinhoe). Does anyone have any recommendations for anywhere toddler friendly near us? Any type of cuisine works! Thank youu
