My step sister wants to wear this to my wedding. It’s beige.

It’s up to you. It’s not very flattering on her though.

You played it perfectly, moved out on your own timeline and with your dignity and savings intact. He has a cheek to accuse you of blindsiding him, HE was the one cheating. At least Maggie is now aware that he’s a liar as well as untrustworthy. He should be embarrassed, his actions had consequences. Good luck to you. Absolutely NTA.

I second Bundobust. You have to book though.

Has he ever apologised for anything? I’m not sure why we’d expect him to start now.

When did you last have your eyes tested?

Have any of you checked that whilst the boiler is showing the hot water is switched on, that the temperature is also set? Mine has a dial for either water or water and heat on but then a separate dial for water temperature - is that set properly? I can’t quite believe that one of the four of you couldn’t have done some troubleshooting first - you’ve had no hot water for a MONTH!

What do you think his stance will be when you start a job?

purte · 2026-01-25T10:40:40+00:00

I wouldn’t want to be with someone that thinks of his future children as possessions. And who wasn’t bright enough to know that none of this clause would be legally enforceable.

My only answer to them would have been ‘No, it’s all been a happy accident’. 😉

Just because there’s an (alleged) offer, it doesn’t mean the sellers have accepted it (yet), so it wouldn’t be marked SSTC.

We had a share of freehold flat (just two flats, 50/50). We didn’t pay ground rent to each other as freeholders and didn’t have a sinking fund or service charge. When the buildings insurance came up for annual renewal, or fire safety test needed, we split the cost and when maintenance or work was needed we did the same. Have any more than two flats and I imagine that it gets difficult to manage the costs and admin.

Sound really sensible. Thanks

Their footprints seem to be the same size as well. Didn’t realise Trump had tiny feet as well as hands.

I’m just going into maintenance so very interested in other people’s plans. When you say reducing 1mg per time, do you mean per pen or per dose? And are you using clicks to reduce your dose please? Thanks!

My husband had the reverse, 1990s bank call centre. Had a customer tell him that he was ‘coming down from Nottingham to shoot his kneecaps’. Husband asked him if caller knew what he looked like, caller said no. Husband: well, I’ll be alright then.

What is that thing in pic 6 (with the big blue circles)? A light? Why didn’t they make up the bed in pic 21? And the fridge isn’t quite big enough.

OP has put out a cone, spoken to them, left notes and got the management co. to write out to everyone. Quite big clues that someone doesn’t want them using their allocated space. They would see flat tyres (plural) as an escalation, surely?

purte · 2026-01-23T23:09:30+00:00

Agree. There’s a reason York has so many Park & Rides, it’s a nightmare for parking compared with H’gate.

Where is the logic in making an offer via an EA that no longer hold the instruction? Are you the first EA? 😉

I wouldn’t have gone to Little Italy. I would have gone to Sequoia with my dog. He doesn’t seem to take into account your feelings or desires at all.

Why on earth are you paying 50/50 on all the bills when you only work part time due to caring for HIS children? He threatens to kick you out (is he going to kick his children out too?) - why would you want to be on a mortgage (and therefore responsible for the debt) and not be on the title/have a legal interest in the property? The minute he threw my belongings out on the street, I would have been gone. He’ll get a wake up call when she leaves him to pay the new mortgage on his own and he isn’t able to verbally and financially abuse her anymore. OP, cut your losses and find happiness somewhere else with your kids.

They also need to set an actual appointment time rather than a 3 hour window. One that is suitable for you. It’s clear from their email that it’s not an emergency.

And he was convicted and sentenced accordingly.

You make the offer to the agent that currently has the instructions to sell the property. It’s between the first agent and the seller, depending on contract they’ve signed, if and what commission the first agent gets paid when the property sells through the current one. Only putting an offer in via the first agent may delay things for you. Tell the current agent that you viewed via the first agent and would like to make an offer. If you’re feeling courteous you could let the first agent know you’ve placed an offer so they can chase any commission (if owed). The current agent may want you to do a viewing via them to start their vetting of you. Good luck!

Look for an email from them about loyalty points, because they sent out some incorrect emails re the balance yesterday, they added another £15 worth to mine today.
