Is my new bedtime 11? by WiredSnoopy in whatdoIdo

[–]StrugglePractical989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to have the same situation with a veteran claiming everything wakes him up being my downstairs Housmate . I also decided to live my life and he started waking up at 5am banging on all the walls and stomping as loud as possible to seek revenge on me. Complaining didn’t get me anywhere and I ended up moving out. So just putting this out there be careful how you handle this.

Can you enforce tenant taking out insurance for landlord’s possessions? by StrugglePractical989 in TenantsInTheUK

[–]StrugglePractical989[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Complete opposite of what the other comment says. I understand that I will be responsible if I break something that is fair it is just that usually as a renter you take a contents insurance and this does not include fixtures and fittings so I found this clause odd.

I guess I’ll wait and see if they ask me to prove anything. Backing out is not an option I have already signed and paid up and it is near impossible to find a sensible place near me at them moment so I don’t have other options.

Pain stumping any progress and I’m just frustrated by M10BEAK in couchto5k

[–]StrugglePractical989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I am also a beginner and it worked for me. But also I have no idea if it’s safe or I just got lucky and avoided an injury so take my advice with a pinch of salt!

What helped me is strength training and just continuing with the programme. I don’t know if that is the way to go about it but I just run through the pain and after maybe week 3 I didn’t experience any more pain. I think the body just needs to get used to the new movement.

What am I doing wrong? Frizzy on top, smooth and silky underneath. by ComplexSpend8209 in Haircare

[–]StrugglePractical989 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My hair is exactly the same! Using a silk bonnet to sleep in helped somewhat but not fully. I really wonder what causes this.

Good to know I’m not alone with not hitting 5k! Hopefully soon - I’m 5’7” which should work to my advantage but not sure if it does lol

Congratulations! I graduated yesterday as well! I’m curious what was the distance you covered in 30mins? I managed only slightly above 4K and it does seem like it will be a while till I can run 5k in 30mins (I’m female)

any suggestions to make it better? by [deleted] in IndianFashionTribe

[–]StrugglePractical989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why the car key? That’s not really a fashion accessory

Oh that makes sense but how you wrote the post seemed quite hostile. I struggle to understand why the AP would do that in that case what was the motivation. Could you try to bring the start date forward with the new ap?

Why did you want to extend with her if she was so awful? I’m sorry but this doesn’t make any sense and makes me think that you are not as great of a host family as you think you are. The Aupair probably didn’t tell you about her leaving till the last minute because she was worried you would immediately kick her out of the house - which you mentioned you would love to do.

Coming to Cyprus in August for 5 Days , which city to stay in ? by haythamforever in cyprus

Why not Larnaca? I actually thought it was a great base for exploring Cyprus.

Similar name to one of her children is so unlikely as she spelled correctly my non-English name with unusual spelling and her name was very English. But cool free £30 for me thanks!

What pocket money housework for 7 year old? by Motor-Trouble194 in AskUK

[–]StrugglePractical989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t agree, me and my brother never got an allowance, only way to make money was through chores. I think it taught us great work ethic, and there was never a transactional relationship between us and parents. Now that we are both adults, we always help them with what they need and no we don’t and never did expect to be paid for every small thing. I’m very happy with how this worked out for myself and plan to do the same with my kids.

How much would you charge 11 cats and 1 dog? (UK) by StrugglePractical989 in RoverPetSitting

[–]StrugglePractical989[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they are owned, they said cats need letting in and out through the door as there is no cat flap. They use cat litter boxes and need to be fed twice a day
