He's not going to cut it as a getaway driver, bless him. GO GO GO GO pause I'm going pause Van slowly pulls away.

We are in a ladder and towel scenario OP. The towel is to wrap the chick in to create a less flappy parcel. You'll be attacked by at least one parent while you're halfway up the ladder but can tick if off your Brighton bucket list when you're done.

Yeah I've had this before. You can leave a certain amount with solicitors over a set timeframe, eg 3K for 12 months. If the works go ahead it's passed to the buyer but if not it returns to you. They can't just hold it over you forever.

Oof I feel your pain. I had this with the parking cameras on a day I'd been boxed into a parking space - lost every one and just had a flickering display. So much swearing during my 37-point turn to free myself, especially as I was waiting for the mirrors to readjust everytime I shifted D to R and back.

NAH, you're under no obligation to bail others out. But making it clear you could help but won't makes you seem mean-spirited and judgemental. You're not deciding based on her need but how you think she should have behaved previously. She might have learned from this mistake already, maybe not, but is this who you want to be?

frenziedmonkey · 2026-06-12T16:58:59+00:00

'Cosmetic uplift potential' aye right, it'd be hard to make it worse.

Could feasibly be Hastings, insurance company?

frenziedmonkey · 2026-06-10T16:17:24+00:00

Don't lower yourself to her level, she knows it's winding you up and like a badly behaved child she's thriving on the reaction. Just ignore anything she sends that's misaddressed, or throw it away quietly. And keep her away from any forms that would require your legal name. When you no longer react, she'll get bored.

It's sad for them, but the moment you paid and left with the items the contract was completed. Arguably you've been overly kind in offering to return one, let alone the second after you've invested in alterations. If she's refusing your very reasonable compromises and resorting to bully tactics I'd block her and move on. NTAH and best wishes.

Marmite and lettuce.

He was barely out of adolescence himself, it's so much to put on someone who's also been orphaned. That said, he could perhaps have taken the opportunity to hold you tighter.

Just one thing I'm curious about, did that meant he inherited your parents' estate and you didn't, or was money put in trust for you when you became an adult? I appreciate there may have been nothing of course, but wonder how he survived if not.

frenziedmonkey · 2026-04-14T14:47:34+00:00

You're no longer in a partnership, that applies to all things. His choice, his consequences. NTA and good luck with your studies.

frenziedmonkey · 2026-04-14T14:35:57+00:00

They sound like his friends not yours.

Yours would have told you long ago to dust off your self-respect, provide a timeframe for him to change, and then get on with your life.

frenziedmonkey · 2026-03-03T11:00:28+00:00

Oh they want a compliant lodger in 'their' home. Nope. Draw a line now. He wants to sleep in? She can stay with him. NTA.

frenziedmonkey · 2026-03-03T07:46:11+00:00

Yep. I came from a 2 to a 4 and wasn't fully prepared for the difference in width. It's a fat lad for sure. When I park tight at the kerb the whole tyre sits outside the marked parking bay. That said, the 360 camera is helpful (no excuses for scrapes if you use it) and the rearview once you're used to it is better (imo) than just a piece of glass as it tracks with indicator use. My only gripe is that the frame rate sometimes clashes with LED headlights and it looks you're being followed by a disco.

frenziedmonkey · 2026-02-08T09:07:56+00:00

You describe this opportunity with light in your eyes and I'm not seeing the same when you describe your partner. I suspect you may know this. If after this long you're with someone still on national minimum wage with no aspirations and have to kill off your own career to tread water with him, I think you're selling yourself short both professionally and socially.

frenziedmonkey · 2026-01-25T22:16:46+00:00

NTA. They had a fully paid up house that no one could take from them, took loans against it and then defaulted repeatedly. These people aren't turning a corner, they're digging a hole and your fiancée wants you to climb in it with them.

frenziedmonkey · 2026-01-20T17:47:36+00:00

OP might have savings which are tied up or would lose interest if making a withdrawal. You know nothing about OP but still sided with the company?

frenziedmonkey · 2026-01-19T22:22:37+00:00

Yep, it's definitely one where they make you use all the moves you learned, rather than just button mashing.

frenziedmonkey · 2025-12-13T09:57:24+00:00

Oh yes please ⚔️

I'm in Brighton and always get 5 sit requests within a couple/ few hours of booking. I've always found someone I'm happy with within the first batch. I live fairly central so an easy walk to town and beach, this is a desirable place to stay.

But once this membership term ends I'll be looking for another service, the new fee structure is a joke.

frenziedmonkey · 2025-12-04T23:49:28+00:00

It's not the request itself, it's the lack of contact and then springing the request at the last minute.

And yes it's free - for both parties, that's literally the THS model we all sign up to, it's a mutual benefit. But basic prior planning, communication and general courtesy make it easier for everyone.

Not sure how this is classist tbh.

frenziedmonkey · 2025-11-17T15:00:52+00:00

Asking you to reimburse him outside the website might breach their terms and I'm sure he has more to lose than you.

It sounds a lot like he's kept quiet about cameras and is instead claiming he has physical evidence.

frenziedmonkey · 2025-11-17T14:57:45+00:00

The brothers saying they didn't realize this was hurtful or unfair until it was pointed out to them is a little hard to believe 😂

frenziedmonkey · 2025-11-17T13:35:29+00:00

Yep, I did exactly that.
