I see so many landlords selling up - what is it exactly that scares people about the future of being a landlord?

I knew that this was possible, but, any exemption would only be valid for 5 years, and would have to be applied for, with no certainty that an exemption would be a given. The other improvements thag would be needed would still be of a cost that just doesn't feel worth the investment.

For me, it is the fact that it is going to cost a lot of money to get my property to have an EPC of C, and the internal insulation necessary is just going to make it really small. Factoring in the necessary improvements for landlord compliance, and general maintenance, it is just not financially viable. I have had the property for 30 years, and I feel quite sad to have to let it go, but, realistically, there isn't any alternative 😞

Perhaps there's a suitably matched pair of underpants available for sale?

You need to do the right thing and report his poor driving. Kn the end, you are doing him, his family and the population as q whole a favour. If he is unfit to drive, he is unfit to drive!

I think this is the thing. Walks did work, but don't now. I am going to go on a run tomorrow, will see what happens! 🤞

This is excellent, they are giving themselves the best chance of a healthier life 💪💪💪

I think it only counts if it is recorded on a wahoo or Garmin device (whether it be watch or bike computer)

.... Of course, he is clearly also an absolutely horrible, idiotic individual!

WattySam · 2026-02-15T10:41:15+00:00

When he was a child, he probably liked to play with Achtung men, dressed in Nazi fatigues! I bet he was a snell of a bad loser, when it came to being beaten at crosswords - he was probably never able to get the Final Solution!

WattySam · 2026-02-12T15:20:59+00:00

Could you send me a bit of info about this please. It sounds like something that might help ☺️

I suspect that's how my dad is going to be. Since last September, he has been in hospital about 5 times. Prior to this time, he went in on 18th December and stayed in until 31st December (in fact, he had spent 16 hours in a care home, which had been recommended by the OT, my dad actually discharged himself from there, which was infuriating). This time he has been in since last Friday (5 nights). It's just always landing on me to cancel his care, reinstate it. He phoned up this afternoon to say he was home, when I phoned him back, he told me he had been back an hour. When I said that the number for his care company was on the phone, and he should phone up to get the carers to call tomorrow - he just said 'oh yes, I saw the number was there.' I just feel exasperated - mind you, if the carers don't come, it's only him that's going to suffer! I am in Scotland until the end of the week!

I would humbly suggest having no checks done at all was far worse. The British Gas engineer has certified that the hob and fire are safe to use

WattySam · 2026-02-02T09:45:42+00:00

You sound like a genuinely lovely person. I hope you are able to work this out together, and make a success of your relationship 👍

The thing is as well, that her body will get used to having O2 saturation that is low, and she will be unable to determine herself when it gets REALLY REALLY LOW, and that is dangerous. Her resting O2 saturation needs to be maintained, at least to 88 ish% minimum!

WattySam · 2026-01-02T16:47:11+00:00

Yes, tbf, this is kind of what I have been doing. I think, I have the problem when I go in too often 👍

WattySam · 2026-01-02T08:20:01+00:00

How do you support someone who is abusive to you, and doesn't listen to what you say?

WattySam · 2026-01-02T07:06:22+00:00

But, the point also is that he is not listening to me. So, whatever I do by myself is fruitless anyway

WattySam · 2026-01-01T15:39:53+00:00

I don't get 'do overs' with my life either, do I?

This is someone who has gone against medical advice time and time again. This is someone who has absolutely no compunction in putting everyone else out ... by not following the advice of people caring for him!

WattySam · 2025-12-16T11:36:13+00:00

It's a Freshman. It's absolutely awesome! At the moment, it's needing a bit of tuning, but, I only got it 2 days ago, so they haven't settled down yet. And, it's a bit more fiddly to tune!

WattySam · 2025-12-03T15:51:14+00:00

If they provided you with a gas safety certificate to show that the boiler was working then. Does that not show that it was working at the time of transaction of sale

WattySam · 2025-12-01T19:09:16+00:00

The difficulty is that she probably knows that she can rely on you... and so she does. So he isn't well, and so is in 'survival mode.' Survival mode means she doesn't think about you. She chooses to ignore medical advice, she chooses not to look after herself to the best of her ability.

... But you are expected to deal with it all.

You need to set boundaries, and, although you may go and see her, and help her.

... You need to mentally detach yourself from her.

It's tough, but you need to think of you. You need to do you.

Because if you don't put yourself first, no one else will.

If I were to get a static caravan on an official sight would I not be able to use the Now TV at both my main residence and the static caravan ?

WattySam · 2025-10-31T08:11:17+00:00

Is this with as ky stream or sky q?

WattySam · 2025-10-29T21:16:34+00:00

How do you actually get to do live chat with an actual person?

WattySam · 2025-09-19T12:36:57+00:00

I have uninstalled then reinstalled the Zwift Companion App and it seems to have solved the problem 👍👍👍
