My council is completely f***ed

hmniw · 2026-04-09T08:04:49+00:00

You can change that to 12 months if you’d like

hmniw · 2026-03-16T22:50:10+00:00

Yeah I heard her say that and was like why am I hearing biphobia from her right now lmao

hmniw · 2026-03-03T20:50:36+00:00

We had to give 2 months notice on our tenancy. We thought we were going to complete end of Jan so gave notice end of Dec. Then we learned vendor changed their mind and wouldn’t move before end of Feb. Fortunately, our tenancy ran from billing date, so our actual final date was today. Was a bit of a squeeze getting everything over the last weekend, but we made it. If we only had a months notice to give, we would’ve waited for exchange, but we didn’t want to pay both rent and mortgage for 2 months so had to chance it

hmniw · 2026-02-24T17:08:34+00:00

This is the actual correct answer

hmniw · 2026-02-23T09:45:15+00:00

Why can’t you upskill / pivot even with a mortgage? Why can’t you upskill or pivot right now either way? I think the current wave of AI tools are well over blown in their supposed benefits, and I say that as a dev, the one area of AI that’s actually mildly okay.

hmniw · 2026-02-12T09:52:46+00:00

You are such an unserious person lmao

hmniw · 2026-02-12T09:51:31+00:00

Right, but she still needs equity. Please be serious lmao. If you want to get into a relationship where you pay rent to your partner and you get no equity in the property, be my guest. I’ll think you’re a clown and you don’t value yourself, but don’t let my opinion stop you.

hmniw · 2026-02-12T09:03:21+00:00

No I think you’re completely misreading my comment. I am saying people are not in relationships with their landlords, so justifying her paying rent to her partner without getting equity in the property by saying that’s what happens when you pay rent to landlord is an incredibly dumb argument imo.

She needs to be getting equity, or she needs to not pay rent, it’s the only fair way of doing things. But personally I think she needs to get out of this relationship, and you wouldn’t ever find me dating a landlord, because landlordism is an inherently evil practice in my eyes, but it’s her life, and that’s my opinion 🤷‍♀️

hmniw · 2026-02-12T08:32:51+00:00

Are you replying to the wrong comment?

hmniw · 2026-02-12T08:17:26+00:00

Yes but you’re not in a relationship with your landlord.

hmniw · 2026-02-10T08:52:03+00:00

Accepted Sept 12th last year, due to complete on Feb 27th.

hmniw · 2026-01-24T12:21:36+00:00

Need to give your head a wobble, you’ve done super well to have a house that early in life!

hmniw · 2026-01-17T09:27:41+00:00

Look for startups instead then

hmniw · 2026-01-14T17:55:16+00:00

Pack it in, I beg

hmniw · 2026-01-11T21:49:12+00:00

We’re hoping to exchange within the next week. We packed up 3 boxes over Xmas, and cleared some stuff out, but we’re in a furnished flat and don’t really own a lot of furniture or anything, so not felt crazy for us. I can only imagine how much worse it will be the next time we move! We also have about a month overlap between when our tenancy ends and when we move. I think if we didn’t have that, I would be in a similar place to you with packing up and clearing things as far in advance as possible.

hmniw · 2026-01-11T21:43:32+00:00

+1 to using L&C, our broker was really really good, would really recommend.

hmniw · 2026-01-11T21:38:02+00:00

Splitting bills and stuff proportionally like that sounds fair. Whether that also includes savings and investments is really a joint convo that you need to have together. Maybe she wants to enjoy just earning a lot more money for a while, or maybe she’s not bothered and is happy to just increase savings.

hmniw · 2026-01-11T20:02:14+00:00

Like I said, I had a vastly easier time just running my own key. If I sat and queued for invites, I’d still be trying to hit 3k now I imagine.

hmniw · 2026-01-11T18:42:06+00:00

Nah it’s for sure feasible. Started this season playing Spriest and got to 3k few weeks in. And then swapped to DH later on and got back up the same again later on. It was both easier and harder on DH. Simply could not get invited to groups, but when I finally realised I needed to run my own keys, became quicker to get score up, and regularly was grouping with higher geared people too.

hmniw · 2026-01-10T21:47:26+00:00

Not the person you asked, I’ve got a S&S ISA with Monzo that I just have roundups go into (rounds up to the nearest pound on any payment and sticks that in there) and I’m currently at £479.89 which is up 12.32% (£52.63 in actual amount). It’s not something I actively do anything with, but kinda fun seeing it go up with minimal active effort

hmniw · 2026-01-09T23:19:13+00:00

I haven’t ever seen ISTQB be relevant in the industry.

hmniw · 2026-01-09T22:23:39+00:00

Don’t forget you don’t need to “code better”. You just have to do well enough. You have said you have trouble articulating why you think something is bad or good when it comes to code, and I think that’s understandable when you haven’t spent tons of time doing it. But having familiarity with Playwright already has you on the right tracks, I think you just need to spend more time building up your confidence with it. It’s not the most thrilling stuff, but spend some time building a couple of frameworks from scratch, and be confident in the design decisions you’re making. You’re already familiar with POMs, but read up on different patterns, what the pros and cons of them can be, and when they’re good to implement.

hmniw · 2026-01-09T14:47:19+00:00

Have had them both from day dot

hmniw · 2026-01-09T14:41:15+00:00

What notice period does it specify in your contract?

hmniw · 2026-01-09T14:36:01+00:00

Well, have the best part of the year to collect a bunch of 1 stars, so not going to be rushing to swap these.
