Hey all,

I’m not from the UK but have been living here for nearly a decade. I’ve rented for 5 years but now my husband has a mortgage and has done so for almost 4 years, just in his name.

I don’t have a credit card but have a phone I took out on finance and have never missed a payment for almost 2 years in my married name, plus had a previous handset before that in my maiden name for 2 years. I’ve paid rent in my maiden name and bills in both names and never once missed payments on any of these.

I don’t fully understand how credit scores work, they aren’t a thing as much where I’m from, but I’d have thought the phones on finance would have meant I’d have something alongside rent and bill payments but I guess I’m wrong.

I checked with clear score in both married and maiden names.

I’ve also been in consistent employment for over 2 years in my maiden name, with bits here and there before that

Would my husband adding me on to the mortgage help, and what are the steps involved in this?

Thanks for any help!

Downside of having followed someone on ig in the past is still occasionally being showed their content. Kendall’s latest post, oh my days. The SMUGNESS.

So as a response to people asking her to tilt her cam down with her new setup, she filmed herself reading comments, calling Janelle who begrudgingly puts her seat on stilts, all the while Kendall is sat there nodding her head in such a smug manner. It actually made me laugh. Like it’s all a “bit”, but it’s just .. ugh. Not funny and again, reads as so smug in a way I can’t quite put my finger on.

Hi all,

Flying with aer Lingus with husband and baby for first time in October. Have booked 25kg bag for the first time in forever, does anyone have any good recommendations for suitcases that fit the criteria please (have looked and can’t find max dimensions of ideal bag for this weight). TIA

My coworker is alright, dont have much in common with her but will chat away ok. But my god her mouth noises when she eats sends me no end. It’s not even that she chews with her mouth open, it’s just so loud and lip smack-y, and because she always sounds like she has a cold of some level there’s a lot of breathing too. She is like Rick from Rick and Morty and will burp while mid sentence. Sensory overload honestly and wish I could sit by myself unbothered. Also if she asks me one more time what time I’m leaving at and has a reaction when I answer, I’m actually going to snap at her. I do not understand why it’s funny in some way that I’m leaving early, we are allowed to leave early if we have worked for it and she leaves early herself sometimes. Why is it shocking I want to head home early when I have a baby at home and I’m done my work? So annoying!

Just an update re. my previous post on bin collection, or lack thereof, for the blue bins.

I emailed all my councillors, got stock answers from them all saying they’d look into it. Only one actually emailed back a few days after with an update from the sustainability team, where he said that there was unprecedented sickness absence (a few commenters suggested this as the reason) but with being granted additional help they were going to have all missed collections sorted by end of day yesterday, the 23rd. Of course, this wasn’t the case for myself so I’ve sent another email back to the one councillor, who’s Labour, who actually did *something*.

On another note, Holly Bruce is one of my councillors. I voted for her in the last election but I’ve found her disappointing. For a Greens MSP, who I was really rooting for, she did absolutely no canvassing in my area. I wrote to her a few times stating it would be nice to see her canvassing, or at the very least to get some of her leaflets through my post box, and nothing. Only ever saw Reform, Labour and SNP candidates and their propaganda. She ignored every email, and surely a Green councillor would be interested about the lack of recycling uplift but hasn’t responded. She’s been disappointing.

Can someone please explain it to me like I’m 5…why did my salary not increase in April when minimum wage increased? I know there’s a pay remit but I only know about it due to my union but I don’t even understand it fully. I don’t get how minimum wage went up, the legal minimum to pay employees, and yet my salary hasn’t gone up an inch. It’s getting so expensive to live on one salary and care for a toddler, obviously everyone in their own way is feeling this cost of living, but it’s a joke more is expected of me as a meagre AO where we’re not respected at all (at least in my office). Our call system has changed and we’re being monitored so heavily, it’s like we’re children and I want to be at least paid a salary that reflects all the work I do with no thanks whatsoever by my office heads. And no, there’s nobody I can ask because my manager is a POS and others in my office I have asked are as confused as I am or just go on about the pay remit which I just don’t fully understand. Thanks.

So Glasgow city council haven’t picked up my buildings blue bins in ages, and I’ve reported this through the app every day for 6 days now and the request is closed immediately, as they’re “aware of the missed collection and are working on it.” Have tried calling their number, listened to the automated messages and clicked the correct number on my keypad, to just be told they’re closed but not any opening times. Do I just have to sit and wait for them to do their fucking job or does anyone have any tips for actually speaking to a person about it? We’ve 4 blue bins between 8 flats, 3 of which have 5-7 people living in them. Many of my neighbours are lazy cunts and refuse to take the extra step of putting bin bags in the green bin and so either fill the blue bin up with them or leave them on top. The bin area is getting absolutely disgusting and my kitchen isn’t loving having a pile high of cardboard and other recyclables either.

Am I the only one who HATES Kendall’s makeup? Girl uses the darkest foundation and really dark lipstick and I think it looks absolutely terrible. Idk if she does it anymore but in her vlogging days when she’d do her make up on cam, she’d create this really dark line / follow the shape of the bottom of her neck as it meets her chest (sorry I really don’t know how to describe it) and I’d watch in horror just thinking “is this meant to look … good?” Like, my girl, have you never heard of the no makeup look? She goes HEAVY on her products and I am not here for it, I never see anyone say this so maybe it’s just me who despises it

Anyone else think it’s sad that Annalee and Kendall *seem* disconnected now? Like I remember in Kendall’s vlogging days she’d regularly have Annalee in her vlogs, she’d hype her up, Annalee started a YouTube channel or was talking about starting one (pretty sure she made one) and Kendall would encourage her (and plugged the channel). Then Annalee started working for her and was obviously very behind the scenes. And now, Annalee doesn’t seem to work for her, Annalee doesn’t feature in ANY of Kendall’s pics on instagram, I’ve just had a nosey and Annalee hasn’t even liked any of her posts since April 21. Like it was Holly’s birthday last weekend and was Annalee even there? Couldn’t tell ya.

I’ve got a sister and we aren’t close at all, I had a childhood of trauma and violence thanks to her and don’t have an interest in being her sister. But it makes me sad, she has kids and I wish I knew them better. I wish my sister wanted to do better and have a relationship with me too. We live in different countries which makes it a bit easier. But I feel for Holly and now Truman, they have an uncle they never seem to see and now an aunt too maybe? It just sucks. Whatever happened between them, because imho something has to have happened in some capacity for Annalee to no longer work for her, it’s just sad. Kendall really continues to surround herself with selfish, shallow people (Janelle and haley) while people like Karelly and Jess are waved out of her life with no effort (btw Jess and Kendall don’t follow one another on ig anymore, noticed in my nosey) and her own sister too to an extent (allegedly, allegedly). She always called Janelle her sister and now it seems like Janelle has truly taken that place. Bummer.

Is next on argyle st still going? Their google view is from march and the pin shows an empty building next to JD sports but maps doesn’t say they’re closed down. Any help appreciated!

Downloaded yesterday against my will, used for the first time today. I always buy an open return ticket, realised after there was no return ticket / barcode. Saw on another post someone said the outgoing ticket worked fine for them returning, this wasn’t the case for me in argyle st. Gate didn’t open, ticket man came over and said “issues with the new app, aye?” Must be such a dose for them dealing with this nonsense since its rollout. Scotrail better fix is ASAP. So, just a warning for anyone buying return tickets.

What an absolute joke they are.

Listen, I appreciate and like road improvements. Took them a good 18 months to fix up the roads by my work, but they’re defo better and it’s nice having road markings visible again. But the new crossings are a joke. Why the hell have the changed it from the man being across the road, where you’re looking and so can see when it changes, to right beside you? It doesn’t make any noise so you’ve to be staring at it waiting for it to change.

Maybe it’s for an obvious reason that my brain can’t work out, but it makes zero sense to me. a logistical nightmare, surely, for those with visual impairments and other disabilities.

I was watching the milehigher podcast casually and this episode aired a few weeks ago and anyways some of you might have listened to it as well. What perked my ears up was when Kendall started talking about the stuff she used to do as a teenager like pickle jarring people’s houses and tping them. That’s not normal behavior. I certainly never vandalized someone’s property or home. Even seeing it in the movies and on tv shows I knew not to do it in real life. She blamed her behavior on a friend that was a bad influence but it’s like take responsibility for your actions. As she was talking about it laughing and finding it funny and just you know teens will be teens etc it really reminded me of the Kendall, Janelle relationship and what happened with Karelli like she really is easily influenced by others.

Hi all,

First time poster, wasn’t sure what flair to use. Hoping someone can help.

My grandfather left plots of land to me and my siblings, in all of our names, when he passed. I didn’t have a clue about this until 6-7 years ago when my sister wanted to build on the land. She asked my siblings and I for permission and we had to sign a document that we gave permission to have the plot moved into her name alone.

Last year one of my brothers, who I’m more or less estranged from, contacted me to say him and his partner were looking to build on another site of land which is in all our names. In the email he said as it is in all our names it would require formally moving it into just his name, as was done for our sister. He specified it would require everyone involved’s agreement.

This isn’t something I agree to. I never responded to him and he hasn’t reached out since, despite saying he would once he’d spoken to a solicitor to draw up the necessary documentation. This was about 10 months ago.

I was wondering if anyone can confirm for me that he definitely can’t proceed with any planning permission applications or the like without my agreement? I ask now as, until recently, the fact I didn’t hear from him since had put it out of my own mind and I thought maybe he’d abandoned the idea. But he recently eloped with his partner and got married, and in a group message he mentioned how a party will be had once him and his partner move back to the area. This has made me worry somewhat that he’s made moves to go ahead with it all without my consent to have it moved to his name. Members of our family work in law - not this kind of law but I honestly haven’t a clue how it all works - so maybe he got advice or whatever from them or their friends.

Thank for reading and any advice you can give!

There’s these short tunnels for pedestrians in rutherglen that go under the road. They got a paint job fairly recently that went unmarked until recently when wee dicks have decided to graffiti it. Walking to work earlier this week at 6am I passed 2 guys painting over it. But then 2 days later I pass through and there’s a huge dick sprayed on one side and an awful racial slur on the other. I’ve looked up how to report it and the council website says to call them to report offensive graffiti, yet every time I try contact them I’m just told the lines are busy and it hangs up. Been like this throughout the day for 2 days now.

SLC don’t seem to have an app like GCC to report this, wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to report this more efficiently. Cheers

I feel I’d go mental if I worked on Buchanan street. Between buskers with their amps and just now passed a merchandise stall - for the commonwealth games, I think - blasting annoying dance music. No peace from the place
