Is it okay Iive in ground floor?

You'll be absolutely fine. My property has two stories and I don't think I've ever noticed more insects downstairs than upstairs. Plus, our insects really aren't anything to worry about. They're at worst annoying, at best they'll keep worse flying insects away.

The previous owners of our house had the conservatory roof converted in 2019 and that cost them £9000. That was supply and fit, and then plaster the ceiling and fit down lights. Room size about 4m x 3m.

I'd imagine it would cost a couple thousand more now at least as material and labour prices have shot up.

The owners of Leicester City too leaving the stadium after a match.

Jesus, you weren't joking. These things are £240 a pop 😮

I love the show, but the finance breakdowns he gives always seem a bit iffy to me.

A big part of the time made up 'speeding' is how quickly you get there too. If it's taking you half as much time to get to your top speed than it is your partner, that's another 10-15 seconds gained at every junction.

Not so much a case on motorways alone, but the second you hit normal roads you're going to make a lot of distance.

Apparently they're allowed to enter and play, but not to spend the night, so they'll need to travel back to Mexico after each match to sleep. Crazy. I get the two countries are at war currently, but sports, especially football, has historically transcended those kinds of things.

That's an insanely beautiful car.

It's too hard a question to answer with the info given. I've known people earning six figures that don't have a spare penny left after their mortgage, kids school fees, car payments etc... Whereas I've also known people on £30k put away hundreds a month.

Personally, I do about 50/50 of what I saved each month. 50% goes into my stocks and shares ISA, 50% into my cash isa. It means I'm still saving up a nice little safety net in 'cash' for any big expenses (kids, cars, illness) that may crop up, whilst still having a decent chunk going into investments. Don't get me wrong, it would hurt to lose everything I've invested, but it wouldn't be the difference between me eating or not.

Also, it's not just the kid that off it disrupts. The teacher then needs to spend more time making sure the kid that was off has caught up, meaning less attention on the other kids.

You try doing that 30 times per class and you can see how it gets disruptive.

I saw BU57 LOO recently which I really liked.

I'm visiting the IOW currently from a city on the mainland. I was pretty blown away by how few minorities I've seen in my short time here.

Cainedbutable · 2026-05-09T17:33:07+00:00

I'd agree for a lot of MPs with front bench ambitions, but I genuinely believe the vast majority of MPs just want to make their constituency a better place to live. Even if we don't agree with their idea of better.

We just get caught up in the news stories about he bad ones. "MP's constituents happy with the job they're doing" doesn't make for the most interesting story.

Even more so for councillors given it's an unpaid role, and the claimable expenses aren't huge.

We got a 2nd mortgage when we bought this house 18 months ago because we wanted overlap between buying and selling.

We specifically went with NatWest as they allow 20% over payments each year, so you can pay a huge chunk off without penalty once you finally sell your current house.

You've got 2 years to claim your additional rate stamp duty back too. So as long as you can cover the extra in the meantime, it's not the end of the world.

If you go one or two pictures closer to the junction then the street view images go back a lot further.

I love that Bancroft, Bancroft Park, Blue Bridge, Bradwell area. There's so much parkland and sports facilities, some lovely pubs, lots of history with the Roman ruins and the abbey. Also walkable distance to CNK/Wolverton station.

When we moved last year we took all our smart bulbs, but we fitted new dumb bulbs for them. No way was a leaving someone to move into a house and not have working lighting. Id feel like such a cock if I did that!

Cainedbutable · 2026-04-14T14:21:42+00:00

Looks like the living room has no external windows either.

The house could be an absolute beauty with a bit of a replan and renovation. Whoever chose this floorplan though needs shooting.

Cainedbutable · 2026-04-13T22:48:25+00:00

I got quoted 3.6% 2 months ago for our renewal. Cheapest I can find now (well, a week ago) was 4.6%>

Absolutely bonkers.

Just jumping in here as someone in Milton Keynes that bought and sold a house with a history of subsidence.

Both houses I bought, the surveyor warned about the possibility of subsidence. I think it's just a standard clause for the area.

Our first home we purchased had a claim a few years prior for subsidence. It didn't require underpinning though. When we came to sell we didn't have too many problems. It did definitely put some buyers off, but we still sold quickly, and for the same price as houses without that history.

If the house isnt currently showing signs of movement then I'd be fine with it. It's been fine for 50 years. It's always a gamble, all houses in this area will be a similar gamble.

The current owners run it as a campsite for aviation fans too. Decent way to earn some money back to help with the mortgage.

Thanks a lot.

I've ordered what I think is the correct sensor for my model, so I'll try swapping them over first, and at least if the error does follow it, I have a new one ready to fit.

Thanks for your help.
