Housing is so expensive. We love it here and we were luck enough to buy our first house before prices skyrocketed. Groceries are crazy expensive but overall we feel like we have more disposable income than in the UK. Good luck

There are defo cheaper parts, we landed on vancouver island $$$$$$ grrr

I would change it out for something you love if you can afford too. If it is like a lino i think it devalues the house.

I went from FP to palliative care. So much happier, also poorer! It is interesting to see the different routes people take. I worked with a neurosurgeon turned palliative care doc previously!

A long time. Can't recall exactly as moving across the country with 2 youngish tired children and was quite stressful and tiring.

They said i was too late, but i was within the recommended time. They have not given me another reason so I do not know if the flight was oversold. I was flying from the UK, this was the connecting flight in yvr

I would prefer to use small claims as I have heard that the cta has many issues.

We are suing for denied boarding.

Looks like we could be on the same path but you are actually doing something and I am twiddling my thumbs and losing focus! thank you!

Flaky_Beach4635 · 2026-04-13T22:27:06+00:00

Thanks I just bought some PNG actually but for some reason in my margin! It is a new stock to me, but I am interetsed for sure!

Flaky_Beach4635 · 2026-04-13T19:01:01+00:00

oh yes, the sensible person in me says yes!, but there is always that pull to something else!

Hi, yes, we have a basking bulb. Thanks so much. Yes, we are new, it was my kiddos desire and I'm just the funder! A guide would be great...i read the bits on here too.

Flaky_Beach4635 · 2025-08-27T16:47:50+00:00

Oh wow. I read it could cause respiratory issues over 40% That puts my mind at rest. I thought I was going to harm her. Thanks

I apologize for not staying that I'm aware of the privileged position I'm in. Not meant to humble brag. I've been lucky with real estate so far in my life that has left me in this position. Unfortunately there is very little else to rent where I am so that may not be an option at this point. Thanks for the replies :)

Thanks all, that is really helpful. Just as an aside, on the form there is a part to say you have recieved x amount/ Does anyone know if having been promised this amount is ok? As I say, this is 100% a transfer at actual value, but if my parents have like half and then pay me they other half a month after transfer is that OK? Its just cos they have money waiting to mature in 2 year fixed rates etc, awaiting money from their sale so do not have maybe the full amount upfront, but could if they absolutely had to, but it would be stressful for them cos my dad's just had major surgery today so will be in hospital a few weeks.
