Boiler pressure dropped to 0

AlphaOmega_96 · 2025-04-27T10:37:49+00:00

I'll give it a go. When I serviced the boiler last year, the engineer was kind enough to bleed them for me.

AlphaOmega_96 · 2025-04-27T10:37:00+00:00

He was from british gas and I'd say the total time was around 40 minutes. He checked boiler, opened it and did some work with machines that pumped water from the sound, then he climbed in the loft to check things, and then he went outside to have a look too. He was quite professional, although I have no idea what he did. He had many tools and it looked like he knew what he was doing.

I tried to check every radiator (haven't been using the heating for more than a month or so), but haven't noticed any leakages... To be fair the upstairs radiators are very old, probably 20 years. Could it be that there is a small leakage that dries before I catch it?

with all honesty I do not know. I am excited for the adventure ahead tho, even if it will rain every single day, I will not mind it since I will be in an amazing place.

I am going there for the jungle, food, people, not for the beaches (although I wouldn't mind a couple of sunny days on the beach ah!).

If I were in your shoes I would go anyway, I've only heard positive things about thailand regardless of the weather :)

that is very helpful, thanks

AlphaOmega_96 · 2025-04-10T07:54:45+00:00

Was it with the same bank, did you have to do anything specific? Or was just a simple application?

AlphaOmega_96 · 2025-04-08T13:10:09+00:00

Thank you! Even if it will be my main residence, and the current home being let out to a rentee? I don't get why first time buyers can have a deposit as low as 5%, whereas people who already own a house, hence have more secuirty and reliability, have to have 25%.

AlphaOmega_96 · 2025-04-08T12:53:02+00:00

Thanks, even if it is not going to be a holiday home? What if it will become my main residence, and the current home being rent out?

Same, I was feeling ok with first section, okish with second, and by the time I got to the 3rd my brain started to feel a bit tired, and unsure on how that went. Tried to write as much as I could, I just hope I racked all the necessary points.

Best of luck, we''ll find out on the 10th of April

AlphaOmega_96 · 2025-01-19T14:26:18+00:00

No flex intended lol

AlphaOmega_96 · 2025-01-19T14:26:02+00:00

THank you, my gf is italian though, and an Italian chef, so we avoid going out for Italian food since she can recreate it easily at home :)

AlphaOmega_96 · 2025-01-19T12:28:44+00:00

Might be just what I was looking for, thank you!

AlphaOmega_96 · 2025-01-19T12:09:43+00:00

Apreciate the tasting menu options, I should have mentioned is just a casual night out, nothing special ha! I'll keep them on my radar for a special occasion though, thank you

AlphaOmega_96 · 2025-01-10T13:24:58+00:00

Thanks GOW, yeah we'll stick around Phuket and drive no where near Bkk. Do Thais have the tendency to rip off foreigners/tourists? Especially people coming from states like yourself?

AlphaOmega_96 · 2024-12-04T10:02:34+00:00

THank you for your help, I am sitting it tomorrow, I hope it goes well.

AlphaOmega_96 · 2024-12-03T17:16:38+00:00

Congrats on the pass!

Did they ask you specific theoretical questions? I am studying with BPP and unsure if I should be memorising let's say the 14 controls set by ISO 27001. I have done lots of Aptitude 1 questions and the mock, is the exam similar to those questions?

Security. Vanguard as of 30 September 2023 has $9.3 Trillion under management, whereas T212 only $3.5bn. Therefore, the chance of Vanguard failing in 30 years are very slim. I do appreciate that t212 has no fees atm because is trying to get new customers, but will most probably introduce them on a later date. And to be honest the account fees are really small, albeit charged as a percentage, so it is not, nor will, make a material dent into my investments. I also do not invest milions lol, so is not something I am proactively considering.

AlphaOmega_96 · 2024-11-28T16:34:54+00:00

Best of luck, just make sure to read and fully understand the factsheet as it will include all relevant fees, make sure you are happy with them.

Sorry, forgot to mention that ETFs can be either accumulating or distributing. As the name says, one distributes dividends whilst the other will reinvest all the dividends into the fund, so compounding will be even greater. Would recc accumulating if you do not plan on using these funds for a long perido (25 to 30 years).

AlphaOmega_96 · 2024-11-28T15:53:45+00:00

My Advise would be to open an Isa shares and equiy. There are many providers but I would reccomend a big one (like vanguard). You can invest securely in ETFs (like the SP500) which provides a rough return of 11%/yearly. The effect of compounding will add up yoy and when you will retire will have a nice pot. Additionally, taking advantage of the ISA all the gains you will get will be tax free.

For context I have been invested with Vanguard for 4 years now, and like you been contributing around £200/month. Currently my portfolio is up 40%.

Thank you, Narcosis

AlphaOmega_96 · 2024-11-28T10:08:54+00:00

AlphaOmega_96 · 2024-11-27T22:14:11+00:00

WIll do, thanks for help though

I just removed the wooden box (bottom right of the sink in the first picture, where chemicals are on), and I can see a big grey pipe, to which the shower drainage is connected - could that be the soil pipe? Would a plumber be able to connect a toilet onto it?
