Nice people thread part 6 - thrice by twice as nice :)

We asked bil last night what they still need for baby coming. The answer we are told is...pretty much everything. They were moving to another apartment but now it seems are staying put in the studio. I think it sounds quite fun and romantic,but probably better if parents have energy of those in early twenties not mid thirties.

Well researched. You planning an escape?

Well, yes, but my plan for that involves changing the locks and chucking her stuff out the window.

Oh sorry is this the NP thread?

I believed that if ONE person ends a lease (in writing, properly, by the book), then the whole lease is then ended. If one party decided to stay on, that'd require a new contract.... or they'd be deemed a squatter....

Yeah I think that's right in terms of termination- one of the joint tenants can formally give notice to terminate, but obv if you just say you're moving out you haven't terminated the tenancy.

I think if you terminate and then one or both tenants stay, then the LL would have to go to S21 and then evict to get possession, but again I don't really know and am just making all of this up as I go along.

Nik, don't continue yo berate yourself. We all handle things less than perfectly at sometime. You could have done a moonlight flit from ex, instead you are seeing things through. So you made a mistake. Price paid, lesson learned. Too young and full of potential to worry any more about it.

How is your work going?

I have too much [STRIKE]junk [/STRIKE]useful stuff to do a moon light flit! Although I did have the most important few things (passport etc) in my locker at work for quite a while just in case I needed a quick getaway.
I'll be ok once all this is out of the way. I am just fed up with it dragging on. And that the fact that I am the only person returning contact meaning that I have to do all the sorting.

Work hasn't been going great. But I'm getting to the point where it is going to have to fly so I will have to find a way to make it happen. I did have a non-work breakthrough of sorts earlier in the week before this flared up. I have dealt with a LOT of old paperwork (ancient bank statements etc) that have been hanging around. Had not made any progress in sorting out my piles of junk for a while, so that was good.
I don't want to know that it was a distraction tactic - I probably was but it did still need to be done! The heaps of stuff in my room were really bothering me, but I wasn't doing anything about it (a la hoarder).

In more exciting news, we have a gold postbox in town. Well two as there are two right next to each other.
Dad had something to post yesterday so I made him use the gold box

It is difficult if you are at home - as you are adults but do not have a whole house to spread out in. We have a sitting room as part of our kitchen which we largely leave for her but the storage is not great (so things move up to her room) and she really needs more for her books, technology and current stuff.

With regards to getting rid of old stuff she says at present that "she doesn't want anything to change".

Could you ask one of your parents to help with the decluttering? I am thinking about how to help my DD at present as she is accumulating 'stuff' in her room too. If she asked me I would help - but I have to respect her privacy and also .....not molly coddle her.....or she will never fly the nest.

If she asks I will help, andin the eman time when I am well enough try to help in less intrusive practical ways.

I've just discovered that my nephews and nieces added their family dog to facebook. The dog died a year ago. So, I am now 'friended' with a dead dog on facebook. And people paid billions for this company!

That's just mad .....

The word studio means many things.... from a large, loft-inspired, open-plan space with mezzanine level funky/modern studio in the heart of things/action .... to the sort I've lived in which is a small room with inadequate space/facilities and a communal hallway where every farquer slams the doors and you're 2-3 miles out of the town in Nowheresville. The SO Studio I bought wasn't too bad, being somewhere in the middle of those two descriptions, but the one I rented was annoying.

I remember the other place i share images with you lot doesn't like big pictures.

This will be my kitchen, the cheese room, showing fireplace (obviously thats just the brick work, beams and hearth to go in). Through the door to right of fireplace is the door to a utility area and downstairs loo, and beyond that the new study (where the light is shining around the corner). The study used to be the kitchen.
