The house needs to be repainted with mould resistant paint and vents put in if there is none - which is usually wipeable so double plus.
2 things - contact environmental health (be ready for your lease not t be renewed) and make a report with pictures and videos. The council will force the landlord to rectify. Or offer to go halves to get the mould cleaned and the house repainted professionally. Opening windows will not solve the underlying damp issue. That needs to be sorted first - it could be a leak or even worse rising damp (which requires the whole house to be re-plastered)

You also run a serious risk of all of you developing respiratory issues. Mould spores no be play o
Thank you

Good morning Dear Ancestors, Please I need advice. I placed an order for items through Facebook, They seller is requesting that I give him the following
1. My email address for him to send a payment link.
2. I will pay him 95% cash on Delivery and 5% through payoneer which he will send to my email.

Please advise if I should run or keep insisting on paying via transfer.

Is it a big amount .... if yes then insist on PayPal but not using friends , use goods and services so that you protect yourself

Although I am not an Ancestors

Hello house. I am having a bit of a dilemma. What skills would be more rewarding career wise in the UK job market between data science and backend development with python/django? I'm talking good salary and availability of jobs. I'm doing both but I'd like to focus on one and put my all into it.

Run for your life, it’s a scam, all that scammer wants is that 5%, you will not receive anything. The moment you pay he will block you.

The thing is, he is bringing the items to me. But when he arrives my place, I will give him 440 cash and pay 50 into an account online via payoneer.

But I want to pay all into an account through a bank transfer. I don't want to put my card details on his link.

Probably so that you can not claim back your money if the item turns out to be defective. Payoneer only knows of 50pounds, so that'll be the amount in contention if an issue arises.

I think he is just avoiding tax maybe...but could also be a scam if he is selling you crap as there will only be a record of the online payment and that is all you will be able to claim back... Best to seek an alternative or insist on 100% traceable transfer.

This is a very sad case, but it's a reminder of the thin line registrants in healthcare professions thread. One day you are on the register and living a good life, and the next day, you can be struck off the register when a complaint is upheld against you. I feel this nurse should have been suspended for a few months or allowed to continue practice with restrictions. The sanction of outright expulsion from the register because she panicked when she saw a patient not breathing is too severe in my opinion.

These are the kind of sanctions that make me suspect racial bias.

I beg to differ. You summarised the case very succinctly. She knew Basic Life Support. She didn't use it. What is the difference between her reaction and that of Dan down at Tesco. That's why she lost her licence. Her training did not show through.

I hope Baby was fine
This was fair
