I can’t give any advice, not found myself in that position or similar before but have you tried one of the support charities / networks out there?
There’s a few numbers at the bottom of this page:

why not take a builder with you to have a look and advise. Certainly damp would never ever put me off buying a place (this one had rising, falling, dry rot, wet rot) if it had that certain something. Dam can normally be solved and a trusted builder will look at it and tell you why its likley to be there. Is it lower than the ground round it, is there a damproof course thats been breached. has the garden been piled up against it. French drains can be laid, or tanking or several other things, but you need to establish why first.

@ester We didn’t, just employee a new one and they contacted old one and got the paperwork from them directly. We went through two in quick succession which I was worried looked bad, but have been with current one for a number of years.
Limited v sole trader depends on how much your turnover is. We started out as sole trader, then went limited. We pay less tax as a limited company but more accountancy charges so if the turnover was quite low we wouldn’t save anything. A good accountant will know which is best.

When I first got a rabbit and he lived outside, I had his run on stable matting, as the concrete was too abrasive.
They do need a big (covered) run as they need lots of space to play. If you do want them outside, having a shed with an adjoining run is a good set up.
Mine quickly became a house rabbit, and its so lovely to see them run and play. they are usually easily litter trained too.

Most people have no idea how many calories they are consuming, and what those calories are made of. Sugar and salt are extremely yummy, added to carbohydrate and its addictive.
If you go into a supermarket just look at the proportion of the shelves are made up of high calories low nutrition foods, yes you have to make the choice to eat them but the meat, fruit and veg isles do not get the same amount of marketing and marketing increases sales. The boxes are normally yellow and red because the catch the eye. There is every type of crisp because for the maker there is a high profit margin, even with the marketing. How often do you see an ad for fruit or veg.
Do you know the Pink Lady apple, is a branded marketed apple, apple growers have to pay to use the name, that’s why its become so popular. They wrapped beautifully and have to be perfect, that’s part of the deal.Cigarettes were not good for people, and even though tax revenue was substantial the government regulated their sale. High sugar high carbohydrates diets are not good for us, for many reasons but Type 2 Diabetes is going not only cost a fortune and cost untold misery.
My dad died at 55 from heart disease from a lifetime of smoking, it used to be thought good for you, he would now probably die from Type 2 diabetes, because although active my mother was a cake baker and I grew up on bread and potatoes.
The jury is out on fats, a bit like oil in horse feed they take longer to convert to the sugar the body can use, so although high in calories they take longer to digest and seem to be less addictive.People cooking at home from basic ingredients is cheap, buying on the go sandwiches, coffee cakes, ready meals, is where all the money is for the shop or supplier, so there is no incentive to push healthy food.

The modern lifestyle pays a hug role exercise is no longer essential for survival for loads of people add people who don’t know how to cook those who do and cook to much there’s a long list of things driving this thorny problem .
I think public policy plays a huge role the NHS will be charge of you mantra has permeated the Brian’s of many people who just vaguely think someone else will deal with there bad joints ,diabetes ,shot heart etc etc when the person who has most influence is the individual .
I am on a diet ATM after MrGS retired I slowly gained weight until I felt awful about two months ago I decided I had to do something .
Strict strict diet no falling of the wagon and I have lost just short of two stone in two months despite have a thyroid that’s responding to medication it can be done the only person who can do this is you , Fat children are another matter of course the role of parents s is huge .
Indvuduals are the authors of there own misery in this respect . -

I think you need to seek legal advice, as your tenant has moved/moving out and the agreement was with them. If they are not giving notice their bond should cover some of the notice period. If the boyfriend stays that may become a different sort of agreement, and you do not want a shorthold running six months from now.Depending on what your legal advice is I would serve an eviction notice and start a fresh.

I go swimming and I auto drive myself there. If I am there I will go, if I dont even get there I wont go. Lots of salads with veggies like green beans, broad beans. kidney beans they make up so much fibre and take so long to eat. Hot salads are fantastic but they are also great cold.

I do think they need to be a little better at spending…i was reading an article on wasted time for calls outs (999 ones) and this one lady phones at least 9 times a day, and gets an ambo or first responder cause “one time she may actually need it” shes clearly got some mental issue…so instead of spending £400 for every time they have to go to her, why don’t they put her on the “wolf” list and send a mental health expert to her or have a buddy system so if she calls, they call a neighbour while still on the line and the neighbour checks on her and if she genuinely needs help its sent…just doesn’t make sense to potentially put many people at risk for one lady who is probably just lonely and knows 999..think of other ways to help her rather than just a quick call out to say no your ok you don’t need help.

I am frankly gobsmacked that she said that your colleague should prescribe for you! We did have a medic who could and did, prescribe for the team, but this was because she was part time with us and part time GP! I do wonder if some of the problem/hostility you are receiving, is in part because you are “in the business”

A very sad story, and as has already been said, one that is being repeated up and down the country. I volunteer in my local food bank and some of the stories that we hear are awful. One older lady (lives alone) was taken into hospital for emergency surgery and because she didn’t submit her regular doctor’s note (due to her being in hospital for over a week) her benefits were stopped and she had nothing. Yet the Tories manage to pluck one billion pounds out of their a*r*s*e to give to the DUP when we have been told for years that there is nothing in the pot. Makes me sick.

I only drove drunk once, but in my defence the police told me to do it! We had gone on a run with friends who were motorbikers (this is many years ago by the way)to Whitby and were camping on the Abby Plain. The group were attacked in the tents and the police told us to take the injured to A&E, when we explained that we were drunk, they told us to go anyway and that they weren’t looking for drunk drivers that night

Thank you for this, after posting I felt guilty about how I felt about her, and a tad disloyal! Oh dear.
Yes I think I WILL have to be specific and not woolly about future arrangements; that was the problem this time I think, plus I know she is dealing with a lot of changing things in her life right now and does look to me as a kind of Guru as it feels like she needs somebody to tell her what to do.
Yes she IS sad, I wouldn’t disagree with that …… there are some things so precious that money can’t buy them.

They probably arent sharp enough. The old bolts are stuck, especially now I’ve angle grinded the top and bottom of them, so they’ve melted in place for want of a better word. They were already pretty stuck though. But the new holes are going an inch over from them so not conflicting.
How on earth do you sharpen a drill bit??
