Whats the big thing on the left?

Its Geralt from The Witcher 3 Collector's Edition.

Do they get dusty?/obvious it's dusty?

I might consider one of these too.

Not really, but my house as a whole doesn't really get dusty for some reason.

At my parents house, my dad is trying to convert an unused room into a second lounge; TV, couches etc.

Only problem is that the carpet in the room has many stains, some of which are nearly 10 years old. Would hiring a carpet cleaning machine get these stains out or do they only work on fresh stains?

Yeah, should do. We used to get ours cleaned and they looked brand new afterwards.

Wooden floors ftw.

Yaasss I bloody hate carpet. I can't wait til we rip the carpet up at home (we have carpet in the rumpus/study/2nd lounge and bedrooms) and put more floorboards in.

 

[Quivorir]

Ripped up the carpet in our house and the end of last year and put floorboards. Makes the house look a million times nicer.

My place had been a rental property for a while, and the idiots had laid a cheap arse, light coloured carpet. It was a great day when that came up.

I just reckon it's filthy.

Vacuuming doesn't remove dirt, mites and bacteria. With floor boards or tiles you can clean it properly with disinfectant. I have a lot of allergies, carpet is a big enemy of mine.

We don't have rugs. Just floorboards, carpet and tiles depending on the room.

Is there now a direct link from the Bay 13 thread to here?
Swear every second post is some in-joke at the moment.

We got new carpet in our place last year. So much better than the original. Stains just wipe off it which is handy with a couple of kids.

We have new carpet in our flat too. (my flatmate is on a bit of a renovation "spree"- got that, kitchen and next up is the front fence)- it's really comfy, I lie on that sometimes watching TV, no need for the couch.

 

[Catfish Alley]

We've replaced all the flooring actually. It's a bit if a mix. Hardwood kitchen, slate tiles in our bathroom and regular tile in the other. My wife caused a minor flood so that gave us an excuse. Haha.

I have an old bank account that I haven't used in a while, as in maybe 7+ years now, but I've been too lazy to close it.
Anyway, I still get the statements in the mail and of course it's always empty but I got a statement a few weeks ago and it said some random person has deposited some money into my account by the way of an ePayment.
I gave them a call to get my login number for online banking to check it out and when I logged in I noticed there was another payment from the same person, with roughly the same amount.
One payment made on the 16th and the next was the 22nd the following month (which the statement in the mail did not show).

My question is, what do I do here? I don't really wanna take someone else's money but I'm not looking to go to a lot of effort to get it back to them.
If it's an easy process, I'm fine with doing it but I can't really be bothered dealing with a long process.
It's not a big amount - both equal just over $100.
I'm kind of keen to close the account sometime soon as well.

You can get in trouble can't you. If you don't notify the bank or is that not a thing

I think if the people look into it and claim they've sent it to the wrong person, I'd need to send the money back.
That is fine with me and I've just left it for now to see if anything comes up. I'd contact the bank before I'd think about taking the money though.
I don't mind leaving it for a bit longer but I'll contact them about closing the account as well as knowing where these funds are coming from, unless contacting them sooner might be better. I just don't really want to get into a whole process.

 

[RickSanchez]

Just had another look, and it was 16th then 2 months later another payment on the 22nd.
Didn't really look at the note before and after looking at it, I probably should call them tomorrow.
If there is anyone that works at a bank or has dealt with this situation before I'm happy to get extra advice.
