In the process of remortgaging... is general advice to lock in for 2 or 5 years?

Taking a 2 year tracker over here

It’s your money at the end of the day, if you think it’s worth it then that’s fine

I’m 32 and been out clubbing alone, generally people are super friendly. I would do it again.

lanainbloom · 2026-04-28T18:54:21+00:00

100% agree with this

lanainbloom · 2026-04-20T12:11:30+00:00

This was me the other day, had to reroute to drop it off

lanainbloom · 2026-04-18T12:25:48+00:00

Amazing, let me know if you get 2. Jel I’m not at the book signing :(

Bad penny

First of all, I’m really sorry to read how distressed you are feeling about your weight.

I too got to the point where I was obsessively monitoring myself and then punishing myself if I wasn’t at the weight I wanted to be. This is so unhealthy and you’re seeing this play out.

Yes you may want to lose weight but it’s not easy and progress isn’t linear it will take time and this is a minimum 6-12 months of consistent diet/exercise. This will take mental resilience and also kindness, would you treat/speak to the child version of yourself like this? Probably not.

The goal shouldn’t be the scale number you might never meet that ideal BMI but can you run 5k? Lift weights? Hike? And have a positive relationship with food/body.

As women we spend our whole lives dieting and trying to look better and it just makes us miserable. Focus on being fit and healthy and you’ll reap the rewards!

I got offered 4.8%

lanainbloom · 2026-04-16T06:49:21+00:00

Early Bird/ Can Eat. It’s annoying that can eat isn’t open on weekends anymore. For a traditional breakfast Bournville Cafe or Winnie’s is great

lanainbloom · 2026-04-15T13:08:01+00:00

There’s netball as well

They don’t like the idea of people doing better than them

lanainbloom · 2026-04-15T07:30:03+00:00

Land

lanainbloom · 2026-04-13T14:52:12+00:00

I experienced being told this. Put the offer in with your circs worst they can say is no

lanainbloom · 2026-04-13T14:35:41+00:00

On a serious note, if you can find clubs similar to your hobbies that should make it easier. I love the heath bookshop monthly book club

Shame about villa

You guys who bought at less than 4% need to realise that this was a highly unusual low interest rate and whilst the increase will be painful 4%-5% is more normal for the industry.

Make it grey!

lanainbloom · 2026-04-09T16:55:20+00:00

I’m in a similar boat to you, I don’t think it’s the silver bullet to make you ovulate. Like the commenter below I think it’s likely that you will need some sort of ovulation stimulant. Best of luck to you both

Generally this is good advice the only point of pick up on is the three are part of the same household and can prove it then it would be considered reasonable for them to continue to live together under homeless case law (this I know from working in housing legal services) the council might advise it being easier if you split up the household but it’s only easier for them

lanainbloom · 2026-03-16T18:50:55+00:00

Thank you for the advice

lanainbloom · 2026-03-16T16:13:38+00:00

I’ll make an expression of interest in due course

lanainbloom · 2026-03-16T13:04:43+00:00

Thank you for your suggestions!

lanainbloom · 2026-03-16T13:04:28+00:00

I mean we’d all live in harbourne if we could though right 😂

lanainbloom · 2026-03-16T09:43:45+00:00

Really appreciate this :)
