In the process of buying a project house that’s had the same family in since the mid 1900s.

The current occupant is a sibling who has complex special and health needs. They will be moving into sheltered accom.

The house originally sold last year for offers over £550k, but 2 sales fell through as the extent of work required became clear to buyers who got spooked. Our offer of £525k was accepted.

It needs probably £50-60k spending on it, then would be worth in the region of £650k, so significant upside.

The seller first refused to allow a memo of sale to be issued until after we had a survey done. We had the survey, we know the amount that needs to be done, we’re happy to do it over time

Hi! I live in a terraced cottage which is about 100 years old. There are a row of about 10 cottages, and they share a single water supply (but each property has its own stop cock).

Something has changed recently that means our water pressure has improved. Unfortunately, that has coincided with a pipe coming loose in our walls which means that when one/some of our neighbours use their water we get a change in pressure through our pipes too and a pipe bangs to varying degrees of violence and noise.

I am able to minimise this by part-closing our stop cock. Completely closing it stops the banging. We get minor water hammers when using our own supply, particularly the washing machine.

Back on the bandwagon with an S10, last having had a S2 in ~2017.

Loving it so far and was looking forward to sleep tracking… however…

The stupid thing keeps waking me up. First it was a low HR notification. Turned them off (but have booked an appt with the doc). After the first notification it then sent another notification saying “it’s time to stand up”. It’s 2.37am mate I’m not fucking standing up.

Last night, same again. Another stand reminder in the early hours. I toggled sleep focus mode hoping that would fix.

Then 3 email notifications woke me up - wtf?! Then another stand notification. No wonder I’ve got so many awake spikes on my tracking. LEAVE ME ALONE KNOBHEAD WATCH.

Use this as a bit of a bible whenever I’m lucky enough to get a ticket, worth a read!

Our 11mo old is currently on prednisone treatment for meningitis. We’re obviously delighted that we caught it and we know it won’t last forever but holy f*ck the side effects are driving me insane right now.

He’s become so skittish and quite nervous around other dogs, and while it’s slowed him down to the point where his training has come on quite well the HUNGER is clearly causing him so much stress.

For an hour and a half before every mealtime he whines and attention barks CONSTANTLY. He tries to steal food at our mealtimes. He’s stolen food from strangers on walks (horrifying trying to prise pizza from a possessed puppy in front of people just trying to have some lunch). He’s lost inte

Just looking for any advice on this from anyone else that’s been through it.

We have a 6 month old working cocker spaniel who honestly has been a dream so far (anticipating a tricky adolescence). We’ve spent many nights away with him at family homes and he’s very happy. We’ve stopped crating him because he’s fine to settle and sleep outside it. Might bring it back if teen years are tough.

We’re brought him to my mums house in the cotswolds at the weekend. Staying for 3 nights. Arrived at night time and he was instantly fearful. Tail tucked under, anxious behaviour, wouldn’t go into the garden. We assume it’s because we got there at night in an unfamiliar s

A few months ago I bought the Home Smart Speaker, what seems to be a cross between the 360 and the Sonos Move. I couldn’t bring myself to shell out for the Move, when I got the Bose speaker for £270 on offer.

I’m not an audiophile, but I know the difference between muddy (Echo Plus) and clear & deep (Bose). I cannot overstate how brilliant this speaker is indoors and out. I love the build quality, ease of connection, and the sound.

I’ve used this in the park at 50% volume, indoors at 75%, and it has rocked. The bass is solid, the response lively and the battery life incredible!! I love it. Everyone who hears it is amazed by the solid sound it produces. IMO it blows my Sonos Play:1 ou
