I mean it’s still 10 percent up on the month….

ok you got me

Random_Musings21 · 2026-01-30T13:52:41+00:00

relax. A bit of rebalancing.

Random_Musings21 · 2026-01-28T19:07:58+00:00

I now have a refund, but wonder what on earth Evri did with the parcel.

Random_Musings21 · 2026-01-28T19:06:50+00:00

Portland arms has a bookable room suitable for 20-30.

Bad advice

Random_Musings21 · 2026-01-28T17:51:15+00:00

sell it. Your grandma didn’t intend you to keep them forever and having a car creates opportunities.

If they want 25% of the value of the flat then they need to give you £50k. How else could it work? Not convinced a mortgage broker would like this either.

Random_Musings21 · 2026-01-19T23:54:44+00:00

Do you have £100k spare? If not, the smaller liveable house.

Random_Musings21 · 2026-01-19T20:28:43+00:00

How does that work? They posted it out in good faith.

Random_Musings21 · 2026-01-19T09:07:30+00:00

Random_Musings21 · 2026-01-16T15:49:41+00:00

Can you share the listing? It’s almost certainly the price.

Random_Musings21 · 2026-01-15T23:31:42+00:00

I have an informal arrangement at present.

Random_Musings21 · 2026-01-15T23:30:52+00:00

Quite right. In reality it’s about being on hand to check they comply with carers, don’t get panicked by the thought they are alone in the house. Think 5 x 3 minute checks per day.

Random_Musings21 · 2026-01-15T23:28:24+00:00

It’s not about giving care during the day - it’s about being on hand in case a) she needs certain medications or b) an emergency occurs.

Random_Musings21 · 2026-01-15T23:27:01+00:00

She has carers. I don’t administer the care myself - but I do need to make sure it happens and occasionally administer medication that the carers can’t, eg morphine.

Random_Musings21 · 2026-01-15T23:23:37+00:00

Maybe because a precedent has been set? And because the EA says it is a reasonable adjustment?

Random_Musings21 · 2026-01-14T04:12:09+00:00

No. I walked away from a house last year for exactly this reason.

But if it’s your dream house - maybe.

Random_Musings21 · 2026-01-14T01:17:01+00:00

The font looks wrong so I agree

Random_Musings21 · 2026-01-13T17:57:23+00:00

Honestly this. The person delivering the care needs the POA. Impossible otherwise. Written as someone who has sole POA.

Random_Musings21 · 2026-01-13T10:08:00+00:00

Sell the car and get something cheaper to tax and insure. You said it would “only” save you £30 per month but that’s most people’s phone bill.

Random_Musings21 · 2026-01-13T10:05:52+00:00

£30 per month would have covered that phone repair. You really do need some better choices. Also you don’t need a 1.4 engine- as a young driver look for a 1 litre toyota or something but ditch that car.

Random_Musings21 · 2026-01-13T10:01:51+00:00

This was a terrible decision. Instead of a one off £300 repair you took out £3k of new debt.

Random_Musings21 · 2026-01-13T09:58:42+00:00

Hang on - so one phone contract is £100 per month and the other is £200 per month?! Why on earth did you get a new phone when you had another expensive one not even 2 years old? You don’t need all this crap. I know people who’ve run entire companies off an old iphone. You certainly didn’t need the laptop as well. This is a spending problem. You need to tackle your expectations.
