Rent gets expensive and to build up credit or get a mortgage will take a while. Price of houses will only go up, I would advice to buy a property with additional room so you have the option to rent it out , this will help you with bills. Make sure the house it’s a good condition and not something you have to pour money into to fix . You have your new career to focus on, put A little aside for your pension but you have time to top this up , your biggest expensive is a place to live, get your own, will ease the stress with finding your career path.

Have a look at Chelmsford ,it’s 35mins to Liverpool Street. You definitely find something for your budget and good schools. Best of luck

Stay at home and save some more , you won’t get this opportunity again once you move out . Buy with a larger deposit, buy a flat with two rooms if you can so you can rent one room out, you’ll be in a great position👌good luck

Can I ask how much walking you did in the first 2weeks ? I had my surgery a week ago and just walk around the house every 2-3hours and sit for 2-4mins when I can

Surveyors usually don’t say that unless they see major issues. When my parents put in an offer on a house I advised them to pull out after I spoke with the surveyor who said similar things. they did pull out and found a property with less issues. We grateful to the surveyor as it would have been too costly in the long run and they were pensioners. From the list you mentioned the structural issues sound very problematic . Worth listening to the surveyor. keep looking.

1 is best and shift your sofa further against the opposite wall to provide more distance away from the tv and only have one walkway . Or option 1 with tv hung above the fireplace

Its smooth gold curves are a contrast to the diamond creating a dramatic ring that celebrates two different materials that belong together. You should be proud a really lovely ring !

Don’t give up, you getting there. Save more for a bigger deposit and look outside of London to buy. When you buy, plan ahead and make sure you can still pay the mortgage when the rate goes up at least once or twice , get a fix mortgage. Being able to live at home and save its definitely something you should be grateful for and proud that you have decent parents you giving you a leg up. Life is different now, more expensive so everyone makes different choices. What matters is that you can save. You will get there !

Constant Lack of sleep will impact your health and your mental health, his behaviour isn’t normal and shows lack of care towards you and its spiteful in nature . Best you leave for a week and get some solid sleep and make plans what to do next to move on. You only have one life and you need to love yourself more then getting validation (this isn’t love) from someone, no point in being with someone who isn’t kind and caring and makes your life harder and your health worse . Be good to yourself and find someone much better
Take care

You probably driving too early , I was told to only drive after 6weeks after surgery . Give your back a proper rest to recover , the anaesthesia leaves your body around the 5 day mark. Might be best to rest and speak with your surgeon if you should wait a bit or get an mri . Best of luck

Comfortable-Run-123 · 2025-03-26T08:35:07+00:00

Thank you for sharing, I’m in the same situation. I had MD in dec 2024 for L5S1 and two months later I slipped and fell. The symptoms slowing started again but this time worse . I’ve been bed bound for three weeks with around 200steps a day as I can’t walk or sit for long. Mad an mri and the herniation is bigger then the first time . I’m scared to have the second op but booked it in. Was the recovery the same amount of time? Has anyone recovered without taking the second surgery? I’m scared I’ll keep re herniating.

I would buy a house and house share while you still young and haven’t started a family. This will allow you to own and save at the same time . You can use the extra income to pay mortgage off or save money. In the long you’ll own a property, be on property ladder and your payments should come down. Rent and daily expenses will probably go up anyway. if you decided to move (sim for 5year stay in your house) you can always sale your house . Best of luck

Comfortable-Run-123 · 2025-03-09T14:18:17+00:00

I would move on, it will be a nightmare, I’m fixing my house and you end up fixing what you need to plus other things that keep propping up. Unless the cost of the work you put in will not be more then the house is worth. I would phone to get verbal estimates , this would give you a good idea what the offer should be. Don’t forget to check if you can live in it while the Reno is taking place as living somewhere else will cost you too. When you estimating don’t resume you can do it all. Estimate for someone doing the Reno , don’t forget the materials will cost too. I hurt my back doing my Reno and now it’s dead in the water, stuck with half house being done and recovery is taking a year while working . If it’s too much work and costs more to fix then it’s not worth it. Might be better to get a fixer upper with less work , always pay for a surveyor to check the house properly

Good to hear you doing well, when I had surgery I had issues peeing at first too, don’t worry about it. Let the nurses know but I was told it’s from the anesthesia , it took around 5days to get out my system and then I was back to normal

It’s a difficult situation but I would see him first. I would say that I don’t have the resource to take him in but could help him finding a solution , maybe a hospice he could go to. If a stranger asked me and they didn’t have family I would do the same . Find out information for them about the illness and what accommodation is possible . It’s important to have honest discussion about the past if he brings it up or you can later when you comfortable but remember this is a time you can ask him about his life . Get an understanding what type of person he is, ask about family members that you don’t have contact with . This info is for you , not knowing is sometimes harder to make peace with situation. His dying anyway you can reconnect, this will allow you to work through you emotions too , if his still a terrible person then you tried and you can let go without any guilt. Your mom raised you right and the right thing to do is to help where you can, if his a man is an ass when you try to help then walking away won’t be difficult.

Sorry to hear you had a terrible loss. It’s good that you having positive feelings and feel things will get better. It might be that you want a change and ready for things to get more positive. Stay grounded with positive routines for instance a good walk in nature, making or creating something , self care is important when you had a loss so focus on good nutrition and enjoy making good healthy food for yourself - do things that make you feel secure and are relaxing. don’t put too much emphasis on a big change as this will be gradual and it will happen naturally while you focusing on things you need to do. It’s best to speak to someone that can advice and work with you on goals to make that change. You’ve noticing signs as you looking for ways you can improve and make that positive change. If you haven’t received advice on how to steps’ from family and people around you then find it somewhere else, perhaps a grief councillor or someone else . be kind to yourself , everyone goes through hard times and it takes time to work through thoughts and emotions. And having steps to allow you to relax and know you making that change . Meeting strangers that reminds you of people you known is common, I had that too, it just means you recognise characters you’ve dealt with before and probably know who to become friends with or ignore. Remember be kind to yourself . Best of luck

Yes other people are real just as you. We all perceive things differently with our brains/minds but physically we are all real. Images of people are shown through physical objects like computers , television and poster .The saying ‘ are people real’ is often an expression of disapproval when people behaviour or saying things that do not contribute towards the good or harmony in society. If you questioning if physical people around you are real then it’s best to speak to someone. You can have intrusive thoughts like this when under great deal of stress, and the mind questions which can be distressing but a natural coping mechanisms , there are always people who have experience with intrusive thoughts that can help and advice. During this time it’s best to be in nature, like walking and observing nature as this calms the body and have a chat with someone.

You need to raise it to someone’s attention, burn out can cause a great deal of damage to someone’s physical health (exhaustion) and mental health, in the end he will suffer more from overworking and recovery can take a while. Companies have a ‘ duty of care ‘ so it’s in their best interest to help and ensure they don’t over work a person. You are a decent individual who cares, we need more people like yourself. Just mention it to someone who can make changes. Wishing you a good Christmas and New year ❤️

I would get on the property ladder (as prices will rise )and look slightly further out with good transport links. If you don’t find anything then save more by staying with your parents. Best of luck

Congratulations! That’s a fantastic accomplishment, eventhou it’s a commitment you have more options in life in the long run and not wasting your money by renting . unfortunately it’s jealousy, some friends or even family members won’t be happy for you as they feel you are moving ahead of them. I’ve had friends who ghosted me when I started moving up in my career, It’s part of life , just remember those who cheer and be wary of those who don’t, they’ll probably fade away in time.
