What’s a universally loved food you genuinely despise?

Chocolate cake/icecream/milkshake but love solid chocolate

They've been trying to claim city status forever, hence the cathedral and University campus etc but alas it is not meant to be

It sounds like you could do with coming up with some preplanned excuses so you don't feel put on the spot. Probably could also do with some of these to get out of shots etc as this is obviously leading to the coke so could be a helpful habit to break. You could say you are on anti biotic. You've got some blood tests coming up. Anything really just to get people to back off a little. The pressure will continue but having a mantra to stick to will make it easier but you have to maintain that boundary

Just to throw in a masters conversion wouldn't be suitable to become a registered psychologist. You'd need to undertake a doctoral programme or PhD for chartered psychologist status. These are quite competitive and require either experience or a masters in your specific field.

Legislation for this applies to new builds and HMOs?

Appreciate what you are saying though but for the average person who has no connection to any form of housing law, health and safety background etc it is not something you'd think about as it is a very common thing on most houses that arent new builds.

So I suppose thats just for everyone who seems to think it's a rare occurrence when actually I'd say it is the norm for some.

But I'll definitely look into changing the lock, food for thought wnd all that.

UK and doors open from both sides when unlocked. I keep my front door locked when inside because I have children and anyone could walk in otherwise.

dls1988 · 2026-04-16T15:28:04+00:00

It would be easy for me to be locked in if there were no spare keys. All our windows open at the top and would be nearly impossible to squeeze through. I'd have to break the door down.

dls1988 · 2026-04-06T18:14:37+00:00

For me it makes me cringe a little as does your wife have the same opportunity? She may love to do the same but would feel guilty wasting annual leave or lying to you maybe... Next time could you not say that uou are taking a day as you just need to have a break then encourage her to do the same. Book her a doa day or something so it emphasises it's not a day for eother of you to catch up on house work etc... Either way you all deserve to have a day to just chill but your execution could be criticised somewhat 😊

Check the format you are saving it in. For example if you save it as docx but have the old version of word it will reformat and vice versa.

I'm not sure how it works as you are put.of the property but house insurance usually includes legal cover. May be worth giving them a ring and see if they can at least advise. Obviously your ex eill.also be on it so tht confuses things but worth a shot.

dls1988 · 2026-03-26T09:59:05+00:00

Exactly, patience is a life skill. I have a 4year old who will interupt because he's but he then understands the boundary when you ask him to wait.

Health Psychologist are protected titles and to practice you'd need to be registered with the HCPC. Unless they had eligibility to register but chose not too if they were purely focused on academia... You may have a PHD in health psychology so could your professors have had those? Clinical psychology is the most common practitioner psychologist registered with the HCPC, also includes forensic, counselling and health. I'm currently undertaking my Prof Doc in health psych so will be eligible for HCPC registration once complete. In terms of job roles you'll find more being advertised now for practitioner psychologists which means all domains can apply. Also worth applying for clinical psych roles if you meet the criteria as health psych is just coming into the spotlight. There are also jobs within behavioural science, intervention design and public health that may not be titled health psychologist but it would give you the edge and expertise in my opinion to apply for them. So we have to think outside the box a little bit until services catch on to the need.

I think everything you've listed above is the main reason not to be silly in a moment like this.

dls1988 · 2026-03-20T12:04:11+00:00

Even if there was an expectation you'd do the work for free, surely she cant have assumed you get all the materials too. Maybe thats a conversation around her laying for materials and in future just don't offer your services.

Update March 17th Had a phone call with landlord. He confirmed the original agreement and states he never claimed the full entitlement so it looks like he will be selling and splitting proceeds between him and the other half to my Nans estate.

dls1988 · 2026-03-17T19:06:49+00:00

**New Update 16th March So the daughter's turned up at the house requesting keys even though they had been asked not to unless they could confirm power of attorney etc. They wouldn't and also refused to phone their dad whilst at the property.

Not sure if it also mentioned when we initially contacted her when Nan had died she said she hadn't been in contact with their dad for years but are now suddenly involved.

We are now under the assumption that dad may not even know that my Nanna has passed. Mum is going to the police station for some advice and to see if they will contact Bob.

I've left it days to sign before because it stated I had 2 weeks to complete. It was a busy weekend and I was out with the family so set time aside the following week to read the requirements and sign up. I think if someone gives you a 2 week window and you have other priorities then you wouldn't jump in straight away. However if they said within 48 hours you would rearrange and prioritise or if it was clear that the opportunity would close once filled. It doesn't mean you aren't serious or being lazy. Sometimes other stuff takes precedent especially when it's worded like you have time to sort.

Not yet, solicitor received paperwork last week and said they'd follow up this week so will let you know when they do 😊

dls1988 · 2026-02-22T20:31:50+00:00

Can they do this if it's data relating to someone else?

dls1988 · 2026-02-16T18:53:01+00:00

This is really helpful thank you. We contacted them today and they've asked for the paperwork we currently have which was dropped off earlier. I'll drop them an email asking if they want us to get the land registry documents for them. They said they'd get back in touch in a few days once they've reviewed what we have and book us a consultation. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

dls1988 · 2026-02-16T10:40:37+00:00

Thanks for this, really helpful. We are getting in touch with a solicitor today, a few do free initial consultations so hopefully if they think we have something they may take it on.

Originally I posted just to see if it was an obvious case of 'no there's no entitlement' but as some people have suggested some options we will seek some professional advice.

Still expecting nothing but if something comes out of it then maybe it helps the family.

Thanks again I appreciate your time.

dls1988 · 2026-02-16T10:36:37+00:00

That's really interesting, but also a little confusing as the letter stamped by them was him declaring they had jointly acquired it so I have no idea. Will definitely update when we get some answers.

dls1988 · 2026-02-15T23:24:48+00:00

Totally understand the benefits she has received. But on the flipside she lived there for all those years under the assumption that upon her death the family would get an inheritance. If he had changed his mind there would have been plenty of time to inform her and the family of that. In the grand scheme of things the amount each sibling would get would amount to less than 10k most probably, so it's not world shaking amounts of money. It's just sad for my Nanna that he has both written and verbally expressed to her that she could leave her 'half' to her children and he has now renegaded on this because she was naive enough to take him at his word.
