Does anyone else have mad anxiety over all these evictions? (England)

I am in the position where I have really affordable rent, a decent Landlord and even being out of work I can afford my rent while I seek out a job.

I don't believe my landlord will evict, but since the RRA and seeing the mass wave of evictions as a result, I am constantly anxious now. Every email I get from my landlord my heart jumps because I am sure it's The Email.

Am I alone in this? Am I being silly?

I couldn't afford to move at all if I got evicted, I'd literally wind up homeless. It really worries me.

Edit: I never mentioned S21 guys. Landlords can still evict for reasons beyond non-payment of rent (to sell, to live in, etc) despite reasonable restrictions. Many, many landlords have decided to sell up to rid themselves of the bother it causes them now.

Can't see categories in WP posts page?

I have a paid worpress .com (so domain/not 'free' etc)

Anyway, all of my posts have categories assigned, but when I go to the Posts page the only columns I see are:

  • Title
  • Author
  • Stats
  • Comments
  • Date

I can't see any way of modifying this. Am I missing something? I'd like to see what categories I have without editing anything each time.

Bloggers who make money: do you engage in paid marketing?

Title, basically.

For those who have a blog (e.g. a food, pet, mom, homesteading, travel blog, etc) how do you get eyes on your blog?

I know SEO doesn't really work the way it used to prior to the HCU.

I won't have a huge budget for marketing. Perhaps £300 a month tops to begin with (more when/if the blog ever monetises).

Have you found one method more effective, e.g. Google Ads over Meta Ads or whatever?

It's so hard to research because 90% of the results are just pyramid schemers trying to sell you a course and not actually teach you something.

I am female for what it's worth. I was once friends with this guy. We shared a friend group and he even went to University with both a family member and one of my former co-workers so it was a very "small world, eh?" kind of friendship.

We were close and at various points everyone was like "why aren't you dating". At the time, I wouldn't have minded, but I didn't have any dangerous feelings and was perfectly happy to just be buds - I never pursued nor pushed. Most of the time we spent together was either in the larger friend group, or him inviting me to things.

Anyway so one time we got very drunk and wound up sleeping (literally just sleeping) in the same bed. Sure, bit awkward, but we didn't even kiss. We just climbed in bed and went to sleep.

Couple weeks later I get this completely unprompted ESSAY in my FB messages about:

  • How it disgusts him people think we're together
  • How I disgust him cos I wrote 'nom nom nom' about eating a yummy lunch one time
  • How I embarrass him when we're seen in public together
  • How my weight disgusted him (we were literally going to 'military fitness' classes together, since I wanted to lose weight and be healthier!)
  • How am I just super-duper annoying, bad, terrible to be around
  • How he just knows I will "react angrily" to this message.

I react angrily to the message and his reply was "see? I knew you'd be like this", as if I did anything to deserve it.

For reasons unknown, I didn't say anything or defriend him or whatever. I was raised by narcissists, and so these kinds of unfair verbal beatdowns were just normal to me and I never used to challenge them.

Months later, I get another essay of the same ilk, telling me how awful I am, how embarrassing, how gross, how disgusting.

I have never, ever even so much as disagreed with this man. These were just left field unhinged meltdowns out of nowhere.

After that, I quietly unfriended him without drama and I haven't spoken to him since.

Until a couple years ago, my friend and I ran into him in a bar.

He had gained about 200lbs (after repeatedly calling me fat and gross) and he was visibly SHAKING when we encountered each other. He was mild and meek as a little dormouse. He looked terrified that now this holier-than-thou person was 150lbs+ fatter than I was, looking grey, tired and a bit sad whereas I had improved my lot and looked great.

Karma, biznitch.

Hello, sorry I don't speak Georgian I'm afraid but I couldn't find this information anywhere else. I wonder if someone has any information or useful links, please.

If I purchased an Orbi apartment in Batumi, does anyone know what the utility/service charges would be on the property?

Thanks :)
