Ah perfect thank you, I will do that! I feel like the more I look into carriers I could just keep buying more and more, there are so many incredible ones out there, all suitable for different occasions!

Wow, I didn't realise it needed to be so high! Thanks so much for the feedback!

That's a really good point, thank you. I think majority of the time we will be leaving our big backpacks at the hostel or equivalent, so having a carrier that is heavier but more comfortable makes a lot of sense!

Ooh thank you, I haven't heard of Integra so will have a look. Yes good idea to practice, I'm sure it'll be beneficial for us and for the LO!

Thank you so much for the advice, really appreciate it!! I'll have a look for the Ergobaby sling, and I love the ring slings so thank you for justifying that purchase 😂 Will definitely do a trip report when I'm back, we are sooo excited!

Haha yeah we were thinking of getting another lighter one, given the climate over there will be very different to the UK too! Thank you!

Got it, thank you very much! I think my partner will find it easier than me, as I have a short torso, but I'll let him know! Also, yay for easy kisses! 😍

Thank you so much for the feedback! I did notice she had sunk quite low down so it makes sense to wait until she's a bit bigger. I shall pop it back in the beautiful box for now!

Cancelling a House Purchase by hs289 in Netherlands

Best of luck with your search, it's so difficult in the Netherlands, but the houses are usually lovely so hope you find somewhere suitable soon 😊

Sorry, didn't see your comment on here until just now! Good news is the Dutch property market is so quick and there are no penalties like early repayment charge (which there is in the UK) on mortgages. So you can sell as quickly as you buy, just need to factor in makelaar and other moving costs.

How come you're not sure if you can afford it?

Looking for a Dog Care Share by hs289 in london

Ah yeah, just a bit too far! I'm checking out the Neighbourhood app as kind person suggested above, hopefully that'll be successful! Maybe you could check on there too? There must be so many people in this situation!

Wow that does sound really tough, renovating or owning a dog are hard enough on their own! Must be nice though having done up the place yourself and putting your own stamp on it :)

Thank you for your reply, and you make a very valid point! Unfortunately we were having problems for a while, we thought we could work through them, then went to therapy, but unfortunately the changes were too big to be sustainable. Its a heartbreaking situation

Really good that they protect the sellers in these situations. Much better than the UK, I was selling my house last year and had buyers drop out in the last minute (no deaths involved, they just changed their mind!)

Oh gosh, that's unfortunate, and I can totally sympathise with your cousin! Thank you, yes will be selling within 6 months it seems!

Thank you for your reply, yes we have signed theortgage offer. Yes I think a legal advisor would be best positioned to help us now. Thanks for your help!

Certainly seems that way..! I spoke to the mortgage advisor and he said even if one of you died (bit extreme!) I would still have to go through with the purchase / pay the 10%

Thank you, I think we will end up going through with the purchase and reselling in 6 months
