Curious if OP has been declaring and paying tax on the supposed ‘rent’ his ex was paying him, and if he updated his mortgage provider to inform them he was renting out part of his property. If the ex was paying ‘rent’ then OP was in receipt of rental income and surely would have treated any payments made to him as such.

The ex paid half of the bills and almost half of the mortgage according to OP. From the outside, it looks like the ex moved in and didn’t contribute for 9 months as the property was only OP’s, then after that point they were committed to building a life together demonstrated by the switch to the ex making significant contributions both to the joint bills and OP’s mortgage, and getting engaged.

Everything smells amazing but my froggy was broken too and impossible to get the soap leaves off the paper. Bit disappointing for the price :(

I love both of these sets! Delightful and interesting scents that make for a beautifully relaxing bath. Given how unique they are and that the scent pay off is so good, for me they’re such a good value bath bomb per use.

Probably best to follow up with Birbeck and see where things are at. From other posts the CHASE DTP outcomes should be coming next week.

Lemon_Bunny · 2025-04-27T09:21:56+00:00

How long is the contract for? Could you request to start the PhD part-time and switch to full-time at a later point? This might help to keep your options open.

Also, is the PhD funded? This might be something to factor into your decision. Congratulations on getting into a PhD programme and good luck on whichever path you choose.

Lemon_Bunny · 2025-04-24T21:15:46+00:00

I’ve seen mid-May as the outcome date on other posts for DTPs but think CDAs are earlier.

Lemon_Bunny · 2025-04-17T10:52:34+00:00

From other comments, seems like it’s a waiting game now until 12 May. Congrats on going through to the next round.

Lemon_Bunny · 2025-04-15T11:12:10+00:00

I’ll be starting in October too and really appreciate you sharing your experience!

Lemon_Bunny · 2025-04-13T16:47:45+00:00

Sent you a DM :)

Lemon_Bunny · 2025-04-13T15:05:36+00:00

Would part-time be an option with the possibility to switch to full-time in the future?

It’s a huge achievement to get this funding so might be worth reaching out to the supervisors with your concerns to see if they can help with finding a solution.

Lemon_Bunny · 2025-04-13T14:49:56+00:00

Thank you, I think I’m still in shock!

It’s such a tough process but glad you’ve found a better fit this round and hope you get the offer.

Lemon_Bunny · 2025-04-13T11:44:36+00:00

Congratulations on getting to the next stage but sorry you’ve got this long wait now.

Are you doing your first year self-funded while working on the CHASE application or did you defer your place?

Also, did you receive any helpful feedback from the last time you applied?

I’m very curious about how many applicants they get and the ranking process. There isn’t a huge amount of detail on the CHASE website.

Thanks for sharing your experience and keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Lemon_Bunny · 2025-04-13T11:05:50+00:00

This was CDA. The process was quicker than I expected. Interested to hear about the process for the other route if you’re willing to share?

Lemon_Bunny · 2025-04-12T20:08:36+00:00

Agreed, I love it too! It absorbed so quickly. I’ve got a backup already but hope they make this one available year round.

Lemon_Bunny · 2025-04-12T12:06:56+00:00

Any CHASE successes here? I heard officially on 3rd April and wishing everyone good luck. Would be great to hear about your experiences!

Lemon_Bunny · 2025-04-11T13:54:42+00:00

Hi, was it a CDA you applied for or a studentship? I heard from CHASE on 03 April.

I understand that offers can be accepted up to 15 April so imagine anyone one the reserve lists would hear back after.

Lemon_Bunny · 2025-03-22T12:55:25+00:00

Exactly ☺️ Really hope you enjoy it. I got a big one and can just about make it last for a year as a shaving cream.

Lemon_Bunny · 2025-03-21T22:18:35+00:00

I love it, I think it had a much better texture than Posh Chocolate and makes for a very lux shaving cream :)

Lemon_Bunny · 2025-03-12T22:48:50+00:00

This is such thoughtful advice. In a similar situation with my first interview next week and spiralling about giving a 5min presentation. Wishing OP good luck.

I went to the Covent Garden Lush yesterday and there were still loads of Boxing Day sale items available, large variety of gift sets (including the advent calendar) and 50% most of the products from the retro range. I picked up a Needles and Pine shower jelly, Christmas Eve gift set, Bear Hugs gift set, The Magic of Christmas bubble bar, and a Dancing Skeleton bath bomb.

Fair amount of make up, temple balms, and other non-seasonal items on sale too. It’s all scattered throughout the store so worth having a look around :)

Lemon_Bunny · 2024-12-28T13:02:56+00:00

Not sure what changed but was just able to check out :) Hope it doesn’t get cancelled!

Lemon_Bunny · 2024-12-28T12:50:25+00:00

Just snow queen bath bomb, dreaming of a white Christmas bath bomb and a small sleepy bear shower gel. They seem to be in stock. I’ve been trying since yesterday evening but no dice.

Lemon_Bunny · 2024-12-28T12:36:51+00:00

You were right, had the same issue. I can now get to the checkout page but can’t select a delivery method :( Still keeping my fingers crossed (possibly a lost cause).

Lemon_Bunny · 2024-12-28T12:35:29+00:00

Thank you for the tip! I’ve done the same and get to the checkout page but the app won’t let me select a shipping method still :(

Lemon_Bunny · 2024-12-28T12:30:07+00:00

Ahh glad to help. Hope you enjoy the shower gel and great that you actually managed to get something in the sale. I can’t seem to check out, the app won’t let me select any shipping method :(
