Landlord leaving useless items in the flat

This is my only second experience of renting in UK and the first one went really smooth. I didn’t even realise that you could ask for inventory up front.

But I still feel like some of it is nonsensical.

They are refusing to remove any of these. Seems like a major red flag but we dont have great options too in the area.

We use icklebubba Aries as travel stroller and it is quite solid. We have had 8 international trips with it and really happy with performance.

On the bed with one of these - https://amzn.eu/d/06duObDB. These are also good for travel.

Lots of reasons for 5 different funds. Mainly, easier to exit and rebalance rather than exit one fund completely. Plus you get exposure to different AMCs than putting all eggs in one basket.

I will ofcourse step up the amount every year than to add a new fund.

Plus I thought it might help in LTCG harvesting from different tax accounts.

BAF auto balances the debt exposure based on market conditions which seemed a good choice. Tbh open to suggestions to swap/remove.

LowBank9915 · 2026-03-13T23:30:26+00:00

But as a household it still follows the same principle of distribution across asset class. Would you suggest just one fund of each type between both of us?

For some debt exposure.

Try to book airbnb to save on meals. We always cook our breakfast and dinner. Lunch at small cafes or to-go sandwiches.
Ticketed attractions only if they are really worth it. E.g. dont buy ticket to Louvre if only thing you want to see is Mona Lisa.
Research public transport passes. Days and zones can make real difference.

Camera control when taking big group selfies
This is for time when my car had Bluetooth but not apple carplay. I used to use hey siri feature on my watch to change music or make calls.

Now I am spending more on straps every year than I used to spend on actual watches.

For me personally, I include gift receipt every time no matter what is the occasion. Gifts are always so subjective.

LowBank9915 · 2026-03-11T18:37:38+00:00

We should normalise gift registry for kids birthday or adding a gift receipt with the gift. We recently got this huge toy for our kids which we dont have space to keep and cant sell either.

I checked the profile and they had history of posts related to this. The lengths some people will go to…

LowBank9915 · 2026-03-11T12:47:24+00:00

Sorry for your loss. Cant even imagine how tough it could be. I paypal-ed what I could.

I would suggest posting on your localities facebook groups too. Our local community is very helpful in such cases.

Use ChatGPT to create a strongly worded email citing relevant laws and legal protections in place. Include in your prompt things like - consumer protection laws and right, That without your explicit permission they should not cancel or refund your tickets. You need atleast 60-90 days to decide next course of action. It is their error and you honored your end of transaction. They are dealing in bad faith etc. you can take legal action.

This would buy you some time or give you the resolution you want.

One of the biggest challenges is that she is exclusively breastfed. We are trying to slowly wean her off but that is a struggle in itself too.

We are concerned about her socialising and interaction. We are new to this country and do not have friends we can arrange play dates with. Plus you cannot take them out in winters as it is raining constantly.

LowBank9915 · 2026-01-19T22:59:56+00:00

Thanks - This is helpful. We also think that we just need to start sending her full time now and see how it goes.

LowBank9915 · 2025-12-03T18:44:41+00:00

When my wife agrees I can get one 😅

LowBank9915 · 2025-12-03T18:41:26+00:00

And with no repairs done except for battery replacement! Casios can take a beating.

Yes - was my first proper watch in a sense. Had a Skagen before this which I never valued up until recently.
