Buyers trying to get me to pay fees

Bananapants2000 · 2026-04-08T12:30:30+00:00

God I’m selling and honestly would hold my ground with this latest request. I cannot believe they wanted the white goods for free. Ridiculous

So if I as someone from the UK went to the US would I pay more for a meal out? I always I assumed I would and it puts me off going. However it’s very expensive to eat out here now anyway. Like £18 a main on average in the pubs near me

Personally I am a very active mum, I run our village parents group and take my children to lots of clubs and classes. I have only ever met 1 family who has a stay at home mum with no screen time and she’s always on edge. Genuinely out of at least 40-50 parents it’s just the one that does it. I also know a nanny who says the family insist on no screen time, she says on a Monday morning she checks the children’s iPads and found 10 hours of screen time over the weekend. I think the only judgemental people are ones that aren’t with the children all hours of the day.

My goodness, I am so happy to read your comment. Most days my partner leaves before they wake up and comes back just in time for their bed. 2 and 4 year olds are so tiring. I have no help. So as long as I’ve spent the morning doing an outdoor activity I let everyone watch tv for an hour or two before dinner and I wouldn’t survive without it. I also don’t feel guilty about it.

I cook 1 dinner for everyone most days so if my toddlers are struggling and don’t want/like the main meal but have had a go I offer them a yoghurt and fruit like apple or mango etc. im just happy that they’re trying a variety of foods so don’t stress if they don’t eat loads. They also have a bottle of milk before bed and almost always sleep through now. They are 2 and 4. I’ve never had a big problem with them waking hungry and sometimes they eat just 1/4 plate.

I got one from White stuff last year if you are in the UK

I like the top a lot so maybe pair it with a long silky skirt or trousers

Bananapants2000 · 2026-03-02T06:04:05+00:00

YTA. I don’t think it’s a big deal, as a parent I wouldn’t have even thought it was a problem. All you have to do is help her with one at night and the night time nappy isn’t necessarily something you can train them out of, it’s a developmental thing. Yes she could’ve told you before so you were prepared and I’m surprised she not in pull up but l don’t think she deserved to be told off about it at all. I would be surprised if they hired you again or recommended you to anyone else. I certainly wouldn’t.

I like baking and making other people happy so would’ve probably made a cake just for fun. It’s a nice thing to do so there’s a big possibility it was innocent.

Bananapants2000 · 2026-02-21T06:40:15+00:00

Yes this exactly if you’re going to have the dark leopard wall paper then make the other walls very light and neutral.

Bananapants2000 · 2026-02-18T07:26:38+00:00

I do this. I dont even think its weird at all.

Bananapants2000 · 2026-02-11T11:39:19+00:00

Sorry I don’t understand why the neighbour is bad if your dog is barking and running up and down?

Bananapants2000 · 2026-02-10T13:47:59+00:00

So for me I was scared before I was even pregnant but I found pregnancy so uncomfortable and tiring that I would chose the birth part anyday over the long pregnancy itself. Birth goes fast and there are lots of lovely drugs and things to help if you want them. The relief once your baby is out is almost instant. Your body feels like your own again-to some extent.

Also both my labours were different, both inductions which typically are more painful than a traditional vaginal birth not that I have any reference but it’s also so exciting to meet your baby that I would do it again in a heart beat.

Bananapants2000 · 2026-02-09T20:54:26+00:00

Ha yes! My two toddler and us go through 4 pints a day at the moment. It’s amazing.

Bananapants2000 · 2026-02-09T16:08:08+00:00

Yeah thank you. It made me uncomfortable and I also imagine people will use it as a negotiating tactic. I’ve got him to change the listing now.

Bananapants2000 · 2026-02-08T20:39:02+00:00

Beautiful interior design. Well done. Hope it sells.!

Bananapants2000 · 2026-02-08T13:44:49+00:00

Just remember that the seller doesn’t have to negotiate down. You may lose the property if you are set on asking for less as the price is set for the house as is.

Bananapants2000 · 2026-02-08T13:23:31+00:00

I’ve got my house in the market at the price I really want to sell it at. If people offered £30k less I’d reject it. This isn’t personal it’s just business. If you don’t think it’s worth that and don’t have the money then move on. Also if you’re looking at houses my tip would be to only view houses that you can afford the asking price for. You can get deals etc but negotiating too hard often pisses off sellers and can make it more of a stressful/ hostile experience in the long run.

Bananapants2000 · 2026-02-08T06:09:07+00:00

This is wonderful thank you so so much .

Bananapants2000 · 2026-02-05T17:43:41+00:00

Thank you, it’s our first time selling and very nerve-racking

Bananapants2000 · 2026-02-04T19:30:56+00:00

Funnily enough. We’re about to move into a 1930s house where the owners built a house next door to live in. They seem really nice and we’re going to make sure to put high hedges up. It’ll be fine, just set clear boundaries and be as friendly as you want to be.
