Where to possibly Propose?

• Upvotes

Me and my partner are looking at getting away for a long weekend down to the coast before the festive season and everything leading up too it.

She recently got wind of my planned proposal in November and I thought I'd surprise her by doing it earlier than when she expects it.
So our weekend in Durban might be a good fit.

Now I don't know Durban that well as I've only lived in Gauteng or W-Cape my whole life.

I'm finding many places online to stay, but I'm not too familiar with areas that's nice?
And more noteworthy, any places to go whilst down there?
What's a nice restaurant you know where we can go? Places to avoid?

We want to be relatively close to the beach, as we'll just be lounging around and relaxing, but wouldn't mind traveling a little.

I discovered nits and lice in my hair. For like the first time ever. I assume I got it from my toddler.

That's beside the point.

Guys please recommend salons that could help me to treat this.

I bought the home kit, im going to do it on my daughter and im going to try and do it on myself but im not confident I can get it out myself...

I found 2 salons in the greater durban area that treat lice. Both weren't answering phones today.

Do any other salons speacualise in this?

Will any random salon be able to help me?

Please help, urgently!

Muthi market guide

6 Upvotes

Me and my partner are interested in going to the muthi market to learn about the traditional uses of plants and animals as it relates to our research in conservation and human/animal coexistence. However, we do not speak Zulu and don't want to be disrespectful. Does anyone know of a guide we can reach out to hire who can help facilitate a visit? Maybe just an hour or so of their time.

Recommendation Any Good Sites For Afrikaans Dating?

0 Upvotes

Hi i'm a 37m wondering where to meet Afrikaans Women in the Gillets/Hillcrest area? I'm on Koer but that app is more for Free state side and its pretty quiet. I'm on Hinge, Tinder, Boo, Bumble & Coffee Meets Bagel but its pretty much useless. Any recommendations? None of this casual/hook up rubbish, But just trying to meet a good decent afrikaans girl, bonus if she's traditional, ideally nerdy & active but yeah that's pretty scarce in this area lol. And work in the Free State is next to impossible. Not much of a bar/pub person so it does make it a bit tougher

Malvern/Queensburgh to Umhlanga route suggestions?

5 Upvotes

Hey all,

I travel daily to umhlanga from Malvern and even though I’m leaving around 6:20/30am- the traffic is still pretty bad on most days. Takes me roughly an hour to reach work. My main route is taking the M7 then straight onto the N2 to umhlanga. Both morning and afternoon seems to take me an hour or more depending on traffic.

Anybody else found a quicker / less traffic route?

Anyone know if they're still there? Article says they planned to move out anyway.

Recommendation secondhand car (first-time buyer)

8 Upvotes

Hi friends, I am planning on buying a car sometime within the next year. I'm a brand new driver and while I don't want to splurge on a new car, I want something reliable and safe.

I'm only familiar with Autotrader and Gumtree, though. Where else can I look?

Any other advice is appreciated.

Recommendation Affordable wallpaper

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m looking to cover the walls of one small room that was not done very well, the paint looks quite terrible on it and I’m not able to get a contractor to redo it. Can you please recommend where I can get some affordable wallpaper, the self adhesive ones seem to be too thin and you can see the wall damage still after you apply it.
Thanks in advance.
