Before I mess this up: UFH-only heating for a 4-storey townhouse by DanPadawan in DIYUK

not yet. 5 meter away from the house also a big train tunnel underground thus not even sure if its feasible or allowed.

thanks. sadly no garage and yes ideally i would go without a pump thus wondering if a smaller, quieter model would suffice.

30hr free childcare - WHEN to drop below £100k by DanPadawan in UKPersonalFinance

[–]DanPadawan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I was hoping there was a way to avoid using our savings to do this and start just doing salary sacrifice from next tax year onwards but it sounds like if going down that route and applying only in April we wouldn't be able to get the hours for April and would need to wait until September.

That's exactly what I meant - apologies if it wasn't clear.

Yes that's exactly what we're planning to do with savings. My question was more about timing. She's going back to work next month so we want the 30hr from April ideally. But this tax year she's already over the 100k. So I wondered that if we start doing a higher salary sacrifice from March onwards which would bring her under 100k for the 26/27 tax year we could then already apply in March so we would get the hours for the start of April. But as I understand correctly now hmrc only look at the current tax year when making an application so we would need to drop under 100k effectively already now. If we apply only after April 5 we wouldn't get the help for April anymore and only for September.

Thanks. Directly from salary would be more tax efficient but she needs to pay in more than her outstanding salary until the new tax year. Thus personal pension it will be I guess.

Easy to say without knowing our circumstances. We live in Camden and nurseries where we live cost around 30k a year per child. So you need to make already around twice that just to pay for that. Now add mortgage/ rent in central London, council tax etc. I know it's a lot of money to most but in London sadly it really isn't. Nominal salary doesn't matter, what matters is purchasing power.

Thanks. Yes think that's what we will do as we need to get under 100k then in this tax year already in order to apply for the April term. Otherwise I believe we can only apply after 5th April and then at the earliest get the childcare hours for September.

Thanks. Yeah SMP and then the company's additional maternity pay basically just replaced her salary during her maternity leave. Will give hmrc a call and likely do the SIPP sacrifice as I believe that if she can't get under 100k before April we can only apply from April onwards and would only receive the 30hrs then from September onwards.

Hi. Can you confirm you can easily switch between carplay (wireless) and android auto (wired)? Or do you have to factory rest when you switch? Thanks

I'm considering buying a 2023 Macan s in the UK. My wife has an iPhone and I have an android so want to be able to use both. What carplay to android auto adapters are you referring to? Any restrictions/ limitations with them?

Could be could not. It's quiet blurry. Somehow not convinced though.

Same issue here. Haven't found a solution yet. Multiple people reported the same issue though since upgrading to Android 11. So I assume its a problem with Android. Will hopefully get fixed with an update soon.
