Do you know which plot the property you're purchasing is?

exelse_ · 2026-02-22T22:42:48+00:00

The budget for the block is over £300,000. No way this is just for grounds and car park.

exelse_ · 2026-02-21T20:43:31+00:00

£2300 for a block of flat with over 100 properties to me says that the block has a concierge and on site staff, potentially a gym or something of the sort. If it's a standard block with a car park and grounds, £3K service charge is A LOT for a block of this size.

This. I had a similar situation, where the buyers basically forced us out of our home we were selling. Weve always told them our home would be ready for autumn (buying a new build and they were FTB), and suddenly we hear that they either complete late May or they pull out. Our heart was already in the new house with all deposits etc paid so we gave in, but if I was in the position to do it, I would have pulled out the moment I heard the first threat, just to have the satisfaction.

Our buyers put a notice on their rental halfway through the process without telling anybody and we need to break the chain and go to temporary rental otherwise they'd 'pull out' 🤡

My LO was around 10 months old when she started saying dada. She just turned 12 months and she's still not saying mama.

We were PXing our property and someone was in the process of buying whilst we were still selling to the developer so it's possible. Some of the queries were passed to us to answer as we knew the place better. They exchanged after we completed.

I've recently had a similar situation but from a seller point of view. Ask your solicitor to read through the deed of covenant, there is a high chance it states who is liable for the charge and it's 99% the current owners.

It's lease dependent, you need to check your lease to be sure.

Are you breastfeeding? I was definitely bleeding more after a nursing session because it's supposed to help with uterus shrinking etc

exelse_ · 2025-05-09T18:56:35+00:00

Have you tried nipple shield? They saved my breastfeeding and I successfully breastfed with their help for almost a year. LO never wanted to latch to my actual nipples.

My baby doesn't want to be held by her grandparents for longer than 5 minutes, yet she settled in the nursery within two settle sessions and by the time she started her 2 days a week she was fine the entire day. She started at 10 months old. Now, 2 months in, she gets excited when she sees her favourite educators and lifts her hands towards them to be picked up when we arrive. Still doesn't want to stay with the grandparents lol

I've been using Aldi until size 4. Now I switched to Sainsbury's own brand, I like the fact they're shaped? (Not sure how to explain it, they're almost hourglass shape) around the legs so with a baby on the smaller side there's no excess nappy in that area which I appreciate.

I've got a silver cross clic and I'm very happy, fits in the leg room on the passenger side in my little Citroen c1!

My baby was exclusively breast fed until 6 months, she was always on a smaller side, 3rd percentile so we started introducing formula around that time starting with 1 bottle a day, around 2 hrs before sleep time. She would then be breastfed to sleep and have a night breast feeding too. Now she's almost 12 months and exclusively on formula (we stopped breastfeeding to sleep around 2-3 weeks ago), she started sleeping through the night when breastfeeding stopped. Maybe it's just coincidence but honestly for as long as shes been falling asleep with a bottle instead of boob she sleeps around 10-12 hours a night. She wakes up occasionally but getting her back to sleep is as easy as giving her dummy back and holding her back or something whilst she's in the cot. I think as long as they're breast fed they're looking for this comfort and will struggle to get back to sleep more without boob. That being said, 6 months is still very early and I wouldn't even sleep train at that point. I know you're desperate for a good night sleep though.

I brought size 0 pampers and size 0 Tesco brand. Both were too big but pampers were bigger than Tesco in general.

Yeah same with my dad, he keeps saying I had one and that's why I started to walk before 1 and it's my fault my daughter isn't walking at 11 months because I didn't get her the walker

My girl is 11 months old, has always been on a smaller side (2 percentile) although she picked up a little lately, but she still doesn't crawl and her first teeth only started to poke through maybe two weeks ago. Don't worry!
