Construction worker here. Received a 6% pay rise last July. I heard we would be getting a whopping 1.4% pay rise in January. Haven't heard anything official yet though.
Thank you for sharing. It seems as though experiences vary widely. It's reassuring to read that it takes some people a while to find their home. I'm only two weeks in at this point but I'm not finding much to suit my needs. I've suddenly come to realize that perhaps my biggest barrier to owning...
Thank you for sharing your experiences. I currently share a house with a few members of my family, as well as my wife and baby. We all pay an equal share of the bills. I'm not in a rush to leave myself. I find our living situation less than ideal but still very good compared to many. My wife...
Hi everyone. Just wondering how long it took those of you who own a home, to actually find it?
I recently started looking to buy my first home. Just last Saturday I got myself a mortgage in principle. I've spent this week looking around and thus far, I have found just one property that I was...
Hey guys. Wondering if anyone here can help me understand something.
Myself and my colleague do the same job together. However I am paid more per hour than she is because of my experience (Around £1.50 per hour. Works out to between £75 - £90 per week before tax)
However I find myself being...
I don't think I know a single person who actually cares about the queen or royal family. An extra day off work on the other hand - I know many people who like the idea of that.
It's hard for me not to look forward to Christmas. I get:
- Two weeks off work
- Lots of junk food to eat
- Many a gaming session
- One or two diarrhea sessions
What's not to love? :D
Most of the stuff I've sold on Gumtree has been via collection at a local train station. I sold a DJI P2V+ Camera to a guy in a chicken shop once (his idea). I personally avoid meeting at my house. It's not that I'm worried about being robbed. I just don't want someone coming to my house and...
I have an email account from 2005 that gets about 100 spam emails a month. Mostly advertising bitcoin. It seems people have used it to sign up to websites too. I don't use that account very often these days though. My most used account almost never receives any spam, thankfully.
Hey guys! (TL;DR - Watch video to see problem)
I wonder if anyone might have any ideas as to what is going on with a relatives computer. My Mums partner bought himself a 2-in-1 Windows tablet around Christmas, from one of those Chinese websites. He's been using it lightly for the past few...
Quite a few products on Banggood (A similar site to AliExpress) have recently become unavailable for UK delivery. When I spoke to Banggood on Facebook, I asked them if it was because of Brexit. They said it was because of Covid. As AliExpress has said the same, I guess it's the truth. They've no...
It wasn't too bad for me when I tried it (back in 2010/2011). I used a free site called Oasis. I used to be extremely shy and so I didn't actually want to meet people quickly. I ended up missing out on several dates with people because of this. My most memorable experience was with someone...
If I could choose just one single event in my life to change, it would be my parents divorcing. Had they not divorced, my brothers and I would have had far better childhoods and a better upbringing overall. That isn't to say I blame my parents for my own failings. I just think we'd have all been...
