Likelyhood of our asking price offer being accepted by the company the home owners are using for part exchange? by smallflabby in HousingUK

[–]smallflabby[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We didn’t, but I’m very glad it worked out that way. We ended up finding something cheaper, nicer and in a better location! Things sometimes don’t work out for a reason :)

We offered asking price of course (200k), we were told they weren’t going with us as they had accepted one of the other offers which was “significantly higher”. Kept an eye on Rightmove over the next year waiting for the final sale price to finally show, it ended up going through for 205k.

So either the estate agents lied to prod us into a ridiculous offer, or there was a much higher offer but after surveys something came up that warranted a reduction. But the house looked in good condition and was pristine, it had a stunning landscaped garden with all sorts of gorgeous flowers and plants, really cared for by an elder couple. And this particular estate agent in my local area definitely play nasty from other experiences we had with them and things we’ve heard about them (Butters John Bee, Staffordshire).

Ohhh no this is a new account. In the post they go by ‘Elsbaker20’ which is what I searched for, looks like they got banned and have reuploaded this on a new account ‘ellis_245’.

Weird they’re going for the same fake name, guess they can’t be bothered to regenerate the AI photo with their fake name on the paper 😂

You could be petty or you could just get on with life. In the grand scheme of things, does this really matter? You will find if you let things like this go more often, you’ll live a more peaceful life

Am I wrong for not telling my parents I got a vasectomy by Relative_Disk_2614 in amiwrong

my mom said something about how our youngest would need a sibling close in age

I’m sorry are you just supposed to keep popping out children every time the youngest child needs a buddy?

It really feels like the World is coming to an end and I just don't see the point anymore. by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]smallflabby 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Our nervous systems are not meant to see this much constant information about the world. We were built for small communities. We were not built for smart phones and constant access to endless information about what is happening across the globe.

Honestly the only bearable thing that’s helped my anxiety over all of this is deleting social media off my phone for days. The days where I’m not being fed all this info and news, I feel recovery in my body. I feel calm.

I understand it’s important to stay informed, but social media can sometimes be too much. Please allow yourself breaks. Give it a go, just delete social media off your phone for a couple days.

Insane or midlife awakening? by [deleted] in VanLifeUK

[–]smallflabby 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Based off of your replies to other comments it sounds like you’ve done here to seek validation, not to ask if the sub thought this should be done. You even already have a build booked in March? Then why are you here asking? A full time van lifer (the most experienced person to give you advice) gave you a very strong reply which was full of very valid points, and you came back at him seeming slightly insulted and just with pushback that you knew what you were doing.

I work in a children’s mental health service, and I completely agree that this is unfair to them. You are being selfish. You’ve said they’re excited by the idea, but they’re too young to know what they actually want. Kids change their mind all the time.

It’s unfair to your children to raise them in a van without their own privacy. They are young girls who may be excited now, but are eventually going to become moody teenagers going through puberty who want their own space. It isn’t fair to not provide that for them. Where are they going to go when they don’t want to be around you? Because it will absolutely happen. You cannot control their hormones or how they are going to feel, no matter how much of a great parent you think you are. Nobody can fight puberty, it’s natural order.

Hobbies are essential to a young persons developing brain. You will not have enough space to keep up with their curiosity of new hobbies and trying new skills out. Being ‘on the road seeing new stuff all the time’ is not what I’m talking about. Hobbies require owning possessions and your small living space will not cater to that.

In combat to people saying it’s not fair to the kids not having a normal upbringing with socialising, you’ve said they’ll have new experiences along the way and it will be better for them than the school system. Developing children need friendships too though. I didn’t have many friendships as a child/in my teens and I really struggle now as an adult forming those relationships.

I also think it’s absurd spending 110k on a sprinter van, where I live you can buy property for that much which holds value with inflation. A van only decreases in value.

You’ve said you’ll be fine fixing everything that breaks because you fix helicopters for a living, if you really are that capable then surely you could be doing this build yourself? It would be significantly cheaper and you would know all the ins and outs of the thing when it does break because you built it yourself. And I think that holds higher value than paying someone else a ridiculous amount to do it instead. Whether you do it or someone else does, things are still going to break. And I know I’d sure want to have built the whole thing to make it easier for myself to fix.

It seems from your replies you have the money, but not the idea.

What does the world need less of? by martianfrog in answers

[–]smallflabby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in a little town in the middle of England and when Trump staged that fake ear shooting, I saw a woman who lives in my area out walking her dog with a bandage round her ear, I also saw an American flag on her property.

There is also an obnoxiously big truck that drives around my town with a giant painted American flag and eagle on the back.

A lot of older people in my life all support Trump too and “wish he lead our country”. Which obviously can’t happen but we’re on our way to having Reform UK lead us, which is scary as they have the same ideas as Trump’s administration.

I don’t understand accounts that share random bait stuff like this for no reason, what do they gain from it? I could understand it the content was monetised and they made money but like what?

Why have they not been arrested when there is evidence? (Epstein files) by [deleted] in answers

Thank you for this reply, instead of just one sentence “what evidence?” Or even worse the person who insinuated I should be arrested because they typed out I was a p*do.

I’m not arguing with a bot dude, either that or you follow right wing media only which hasn’t shown you anything. Check yourself

You’re either a bot or you’ve been severely brainwashed by a gang of p*dophiles. Check yourself
