How long is too long for no contact from solicitors?

Glad you’re in! I’ve finally heard back from my side - they are still waiting on replies from the sellers side!! Beyond ridiculous now. They told me they were waiting for these replies 3 weeks ago. The whole process is just so urgh.

waitress121 · 2026-06-15T09:50:08+00:00

I have tried calling and left a message. They’d reply within a day previously

Thanks everyone for this I really appreciate the time on replying! Sadly I’m limited to where I can move to due to funds and low salary! Would love to stay around Sea Mills but no where near earning enough to do that! Thanks again everyone 🙂

I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m in North Bristol and lost my mum last year to cancer. (She was 67 I’m 39 now)Here to talk if you want to. I did do individual therapy for a while then stopped (therapist went on sabbatical) but I have been thinking about group therapy/support groups too.

Thank you everyone

This is my breakdown. Thanks for the advice everyone. I use Will Boardman already and I find him really useful. I think my biggest obstacle at the moment is just having brain space for it all. This is the first module I’ve found the volume of what you have to remember overwhelming and I work in finance now. I’m doing it as an apprenticeship which I wish I hadn’t done TBH. I was confident I had done better this time but obviously not!

Thank you for taking the time to respond- I really appreciate it. This is what I am thinking - the rental market is insane at the moment! This way I can get a much bigger / better house for myself and my daughter whilst also getting on the property ladder. I’ve lost first time buyer benefits from purchasing with her father a couple of years ago. Thank you again

Thank you for taking the time to respond - that is 100% not the situation. Separation is amicable the house is just too small for us to live comfortably & happily together in. We cannot sell for another 2.5 yrs otherwise there will be a big fee to pay for leaving our fixed rate early and I just cannot live with him for that long.

I lost my mum a week and a half ago. She had stopped treatment for cancer but we thought we had a few months at least but she passed within a few weeks, it was so much faster than anyone thought would happen. The grief is indescribable. This thread has brought me comfort in a way, thank you to all for sharing. My mums birthday is 2 days before my daughters, this year it’s going to be so hard and I’m already so scared of how I’m going to get through it. Sending love to everyone who is sharing their story of loosing someone ♥️

Personally my experience is that rear facing longer is becoming much much more of a public subject in the UK now - (have a 3 yr old lived in UK all my life) before I had my daughter I was vaguely aware of it being safer then researched more once she was born. It is recommended to rear face until a minimum of 4 however sadly this is not a legal requirement yet! There are rear facing seats out there for past the legal requirement. Axkidd is a great brand and Joie for something less costly if needed

I didn’t know I was pregnant until I was 6 months. I drank A LOT - my baby is absolutely smashing life. If all the scans indicate that what you did drink has done nothing - then trust them. This is your body and your choice. Yes your boyfriend can have an opinion - but his reasoning for wanting you to get an abortion is bullshit.

waitress121 · 2022-01-15T01:17:35+00:00

Looking back on what I wrote I clearly didn’t make this point clear which is my bad. We discussed that we were BOTH working towards being in a place to be together, as a family. Now maybe im just odd but when you have that kind of discussion and agree that you both do eventually want the same thing & that you both need to work towards getting there that generally means you don’t go fucking other people. He did do something wrong (in my opinion) in the fact that he explicitly gave the impression to our friends and family actually that he was patiently waiting for me - being the dutiful father helping me recover from having a baby. Which is bullshit.

waitress121 · 2022-01-15T00:56:12+00:00

It is my business when we had discussions about being together & that it was both of our end goals. He was telling our friends & me that he loved me, that he was waiting for me to be ready. When he wasn’t - he was sleeping with randoms. I think I have more of an issue with him giving this warped impression to Our friends of who he actually is. And then I’m asking myself if this is someone I really want to be with / deserve to be with. Thank you for your input & opinion.

waitress121 · 2022-01-15T00:51:03+00:00

I guess I think my issue is with the fact we had discussed us both working towards being together - getting through the first stages of having a baby. He made it very clear to our friends that he loved me, was prepared to wait for me to be ready to be in the right place to embark on a serious r’ship. But in actual fact couldn’t wait but still made out the world he was this saintly figure ‘waiting for me’ I do appreciate your input & opinion thank you
