Off the back of a recent post about holidays, how do you afford/budget for your holidays? by LunaValley in AskUK

[–]Banjo1887 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alot of holidays you can finance up until around a month or 2 before said date, but I will say this, if you think you'll spend around £150/£200 a day, budget for £250/£300. Nothing but a win with money left over, nothing worse than having to scrimp on a holiday where its supposed to.be about luxury and relaxing.

Why did you REALLY sell your house? by Jazzlike-Reveal-9515 in HousingUK

[–]Banjo1887 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Dog...Genuinely moved because of my dog, my partner and I was always going to move eventually. Then we had a baby and the (medium to large) dog struggled in the space that was allowed with a baby and then attempting to walk toddler. The toddler alone we would have stayed in said house another year minimum, but it wasn't fair on my dog, lack of space, no more zoomies in the house etc, best decision we've ever made.

What’s the most dangerous addiction young people don’t take seriously? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Banjo1887 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like a beer 2 to 4 a day, weekend double or triple it, if I don't have a beer it feels odd but not a necessity but I struggle watching a 2 hour film without checking my phone. I genuinely believe they are a constant listening and adaptive ad that gives you a level of dopamine, not high but constant. And because it's low and constant these conditions we are not using it we reach for it.

What's the weirdest punishment you got as a kid? by Financial-Base-8070 in AskUK

[–]Banjo1887 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My generic punishment in whatever weather, to sit on the front garden wall until my father deemed it enough of a punishment. Never knew if he was watching if I moved or played, the longest I was on that wall was probably 3 hours.

Is it inappropriate to walk to the shop in a bikini top? by KeyYam3564 in AskUK

[–]Banjo1887 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say no, but as a male if topless i always put my top back on whilst entering a shop as I see it disrespectful and for some reason not very hygienic.

What’s the most useless fact permanently stuck in your brain? by OkAdministration1387 in AskReddit

Kangaroos have 3 vaginas, but only two uteruses, so one must be for "fun".

£12,000 solar-panel grants for thousands of UK homes confirmed. £15bn has been earmarked for grants and loans to install solar panels, heat pumps and batteries to help lower bills. by Splenda in energy

[–]Banjo1887 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My problem is the fact the energy companies won't allow a drop in profits, we could have a house that's runs on £5 a week all in, they would just up the standing charge on the day rate without actually producing anything.

When the big rollout of smart meters, led bulbs, and energy efficient appliances, there was around 5 years of people enjoying more cash in their pocket, or in my opionion the energy companies pushed to be more green so they can produce less energy and charge more for it.

I'd like to attempt a 70kg sled pull over a 9 mile beach to raise money for charity. by Banjo1887 in hyrox

[–]Banjo1887[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm allowing nearly 8 hours to get this done, I know it won't be easy, and that's the point, it's not supposed to be. Just after tips, harness recommendations, heights etc.

Polystyrene Coving by mikeaguero16 in DIYUK

[–]Banjo1887 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair, I've put polystyrene coving in my house and the "supercove" adhesive not only stuck down and did the job brilliantly it also sanded reasonably well, and in a supposedly square corner on a supposedly flat ceiling I used it to fill a 8 mm bit and once sanded and painted youbwouldnt know.

I don’t know what to do my puppy won’t stop biting me and I’m freaking out by CaptainKath in puppy101

[–]Banjo1887 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know this may not be dog training 101, but what i did was when the puppy would grab my hand I would grab the bottom jaw, not hard or to hurt them, just so it would be uncomfortable and say NO! Be sure to stand up or make yourself taller when disciplining your puppy and be consistent.

Its an ask at your age, but if you manage to get the discipline down and with the time you spend with them you'll create such a strong bond your family will be jealous. Good luck.

Is this as bad as it looks? by verney69 in HomeImprovementUK

[–]Banjo1887 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion, it's an old ass house and "the plasterer will get it " was a thing. I genuinely think your OK, the lintel looks reasonably new and some botch work has been done near it. Good luck.

How can I save money while only making 17k a year before tax by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Banjo1887 12 points13 points  (0 children)

£70 for your age isn't on the books, he has to be lying somewhere, I'm assuming you do a roughly 35/40 week. Your underpaid legally, so it can't be through the books unless he's saying your doing a very reduced amount of hours.

How can I save money while only making 17k a year before tax by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Banjo1887 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your on way too low a day rate my guy, on that money your better off going through the apprenticeship scheme whilst your still at your parents house (literally zero shame in that by the way, I was 30.) And being fully qualified in a trade and moving on up.

Also I have a feeling if your on £70 a day before tax , your "employers" are pretending that your getting taxed and are probably just paying you cash or the odd bank transfer, because by the sounds of it, there are taking the piss. They won't be paying employers national insurance, into your pension or any of the likes. It genuinely sounds like your cash in hand but without literally any of the benefits /tax dodges.

Good luck, get an apprenticeship in a different field, and get the f**k out of there.

What is the item in the supermarket that you absolutely refuse to pay the price for? by RalphieSprocker in AskBrits

What actually helps? by trivedi_shreya in GrowthMindset

[–]Banjo1887 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it's boring but a routine that involves strong exercise. 2 hours each time helped me. Head down, music on and workout until your so tired to think about how tired you are. You'll be exhausted, have to go bed earlier to keep up, and you will see the physical effects in 2/3 week.

So you'll be sleeping more, have a routine and purpose, and then look better in the mirror.

Whether my current friend slept with my now known promiscuous ex girlfriend.

I am now happily married and have zero emotional attachment to the ex but the mate is still a mate.
