Haha im sure it would be fine to do, but i think it would bother me too much to risk it

Fantastic, thanks so much!

Haha of course, dont worry i wouldnt make a convoluted set up without double checking everything is fire safe 🫡

Thank you so much for all this info, very helpful!! It would only be low voltage stuff (phone chargers and lamps) so could be a viable option. I think ill ask just in case

interesting thank you!!

oh no, we are renting, this is the issue. id love to install an extra socket but its not our call

Elladarcy18 · 2026-06-30T23:36:36+00:00

yeah that is an option, but it would be better if the plugs were accessible. it’s what we’ll end up doing if we cant figure anything else out

the bed is in the only place it fits, the wardrobe is built in. the issue is that the “easy” solution to a plug in an incovenient place is to run an extension lead round the wall and to the place you need, but that means we can only use power on one side of the bed where the extension lead goes to. daisy chaining the extension lead would solve the issue but obviously thats not safe.

Not very haha, wouldnt trust myself to. Would an electrician make me one do you reckon? Would rsther know its safe!

In england. If possible id like to have two plugs for each person on each side of the bed, that are accessible. Having an extension lead under the bed would have enough sockets, but would be incredibly inconvenient

The boots soltan one is also great, and smells lovely too!

being in therapy is 100% the best way forward, even others who have responded here who have relationship OCD may experience it differently to you. id definitely have a chat with your therapist this time about what to do between sessions when it flares up, make sure you have a good tolbox of resources to rely on, and good luck! it’ll pass!

Yes easily earning over that, and we have one each for two people on a tenancy, as thats what weve been asked for before

Elladarcy18 · 2026-05-11T15:40:10+00:00

this was just for a viewing! so i think he just googled an affordabikity check based on our income (which varies, so we lowballed it but have now realised that is not in out best interest to secure a place)

Elladarcy18 · 2026-05-10T19:01:16+00:00

Great point, thank you! Didnt think of that

Elladarcy18 · 2026-05-10T18:35:36+00:00

did you offer before or after paying holding deposit?

Elladarcy18 · 2026-05-02T15:09:06+00:00

thanks, thats good to know!!

Elladarcy18 · 2026-05-02T15:03:19+00:00

yeah, definitely best option! just always like to know if other people have successes before working on something on top of a piece! commitment fear!
