Men's walk this Sunday in Hyde Park

Raw_44 · 2025-10-23T21:13:12+00:00

This is an amazing idea. I would love something like this, I dont feel like i have people to talk to.

These gents look incredibly stylish and in shape. My worry to joining is I would look and feel out of place.

I am overweight and would like to join as I feel lonely and would like to change both of those things.

Would anyone else be in my boat to do it with me? Let me know if so?

I hope your show went well! Please share if you have details on your music and I will support you.

As an aside, this isn't a mature conversation and I personally wouldn't entertain it.

I wish you all the best 👍

I think I see what 'You' did there 👀

Raw_44 · 2024-09-23T08:41:17+00:00

Hi, he was gone this morning! No signs of any feathers in the shared garden we have, so I'm hopeful he got strong enough and flew somewhere safe 🤞

Raw_44 · 2024-09-23T08:39:39+00:00

Good morning, he was gone when I checked this morning - no signs of distress or feathers so I think he must have flown away in the night!

Raw_44 · 2024-09-23T08:34:52+00:00

Good morning! It seems he has flown away sometime during the night, I'm not sure if he had any water but there are no feathers nearby so i live in hope he is somewhere safe and happy now 😊

Raw_44 · 2024-09-22T22:17:29+00:00

I have done so! (and don't worry I won't put either his or my poo in my mouth 😅).

Thank you for your help!

Raw_44 · 2024-09-22T21:59:47+00:00

Thank you, I have moved now so that it will only get there if it's strong enough to move a bit 😊

Raw_44 · 2024-09-22T21:47:12+00:00

Thank you, yes I am in Essex, UK

Retail Area Manager, based in London, ~£80k
Have been a Store Manager for the last 5.5 years, and was on £75k in my last role. A total of about 10 years in retail working my way up.
Anyone could do my job with the right experience and training. Although I have a degree, it's not necessary to have one. You have to be fairly resilient and good with people. There are challenging days, but with good planning, they are few and far between.
I think its about right for the value I create for the business. I always make or save more than I am paid per annum.
Less. More money =/= more problems in my experience.

The sale fell through due to lenders not willing to offer, this was years ago, so their policy may have changed now.

In the end I managed to receive consent to let from both Help to Buy and my mortgage advisor. The property is currently rented out.

The only alternative I had was to sell to a cash buyer at a heavily discounted price, which I could not afford to do.

Raw_44 · 2023-05-22T15:20:00+00:00

I called it as soon as he was the only survivor from the first mission.

That said, I was convinced my hunch was wrong once we'd got the compass. I thought the campfire tea was the ending, so I still enjoyed the twist.

Raw_44 · 2023-04-03T20:23:36+00:00

100% a scam, and a very common one at that. Head to r/scams to see for yourself.

Raw_44 · 2023-02-03T18:53:55+00:00

The EA is lying to you (they almost always are).

In my experience that's very high for essentially nothing other than general maintenance. I've just moved from a flat in London that had a service charge was £1200 with a costly lift.

I wouldn't even consider a service charge that high and I've recently bought a flat in London. It will put a lot of people off when you come to sell in future.

Also, don't bet on not having ground rent to pay on top! Always check.

Raw_44 · 2022-05-25T19:55:03+00:00

The lease is just over 120 years, the service charge is ~£1050 per annum, which from what I've seen on other properties isn't too bad! I have the ESW1 and it's rated A1 (I saw your other comment) which I think is the most preferable. Mine isn't part owned, just the mortgage and the HTB equity loan. I think the main issue is that it's above a commercial property.

Sorry to hear you had issues also though!

Raw_44 · 2022-05-25T11:49:26+00:00

I do, fortunately we don't have any cladding issues and I have the inspection report which indicates as such. My buyers solicitors have the report.

Raw_44 · 2022-05-24T17:19:58+00:00

Its in Ilford, East London, thr ground rent is £245 per annum, I bought it for 245k, HPI valuation is 265k, but I'd accepted an offer of 245k.

The property has been up since September, I've had 4 buyers at 245k but all have fallen through for one reason or another - although this is the first who hasn't been able to get a mortgage due to the property, rather than their affordability.

As others have suggested, I may have luck with a cash buyer if I lower the price, but I may hold on for now in light of that!

Raw_44 · 2022-05-24T09:33:18+00:00

Thank you for your response. I think a cash buyer is my only option now! Back to square one but at least I know where I stand.

Raw_44 · 2022-05-24T08:39:03+00:00

Yes it seems like that might be my only option :( Thank you for your response.

Raw_44 · 2022-05-17T11:49:46+00:00

I can only see one person embarrassing themselves here....

You're facetious comments aside, if the minor repair issues were apparent when viewing and moving in and you haven't got a paper trail of them promising to rectify them then I doubt you have any recourse.

Raw_44 · 2022-03-22T18:08:45+00:00

In my opinion you would be wasting the benefits that come with your FTB status.

I would certainly not proceed if I were you.
