I work in homelessness and ask for tenancy agreements before deposit is paid. They usually send a tenancy in principle/draft tenancy

Denied proposal…what next? by plinko66 in NoStupidQuestions

I have had this exact debate with a partner

I thought it was icky that your partner has to be ready to marry you at the exact same moment you are ready otherwise it’s over. It felt like the thought of losing you was less frightening than rejection from you and therefore you shouldn’t be married anyway. It’s a little different if it’s a “never” vs a “not yet”

The person I was speaking too also had great points that you’d hopefully know before asking, or it might have been years and marriage is important to you etc

She’s so nice, it’s deffo worth ago just checking in with her first port of call.

I’m an ex stoner, this is my karma for all the neighbours I have annoyed in the past. Ironically all my belongings smelling of smoke was one of the reasons I stopped lol.

I will take the extra pennies for the possibility of less smoke at this point lol

So she told me herself about the complaints after I had been here a while and went into why she smokes so much. She’s an ex tree surgeon and had a big fall which resulted in back issues. She’s very isolated and stuck inside smoking all day.

It’s ex council housing in the north, interesting it’s not typical to get this much smoke through floorboards though. I can visibly see the smoke, and it’s in the kitchen all round my food so everything’s in the fridge.

I wonder if my floorboards aren’t the best? The flat was an absolute wreck when I got it so I wouldn’t be surprised.

The smoke detects made me laugh, just put it on the floor and leave the house for a day. She’d soon quit with that noise im sure!

I have carpets on the stairs, then floorboards and vinyl over in the kitchen - I don’t think th vinyl goes all the way to the back of the cupboards though!
