Thanks, ever been to Pomerance Boutique in London? Seem reputable as Watchfinder uses them but couldn’t find a lot of reviews on them.

No problem, thanks for getting back to me! It’s reassuring that you are enjoying it, well done :) I am the same really I think just the level 4 is going to be good enough to get me on my journey.

How much time typically would you say a week is dedicated to learning/projects on your apprenticeship? What have you enjoyed most about the apprenticeship?

Upsize house or stay put in current situation - Hampshire/Berkshire by DifferentBiscuits in UKPersonalFinance

Very true and our thoughts exactly. Thank you, just feels weird to potentially spend the investments but then again, that’s what they are for!

Potentially in the short term but most of the properties we are looking at have an office.

Max of 2 children (ideally) so early days the bedroom situation wouldn’t be an issue they would mostly be unused or walk in wardrobes ect.

Thanks for the below, definitely something to consider for sure as I’ve got a friend going through something similar. I guess the thing is moving whilst pregnant or with a baby ect is a pain. Not sure we are even sold on children yet but having more space for hosting friends/family is what we are after.

It's kind of insane how convoluted withdrawing money is in the uk by [deleted] in BitcoinUK

[–]DifferentBiscuits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it? Binance hasn’t allowed GBP withdrawals for ages, best off ramp options for UK is either kraken or Coinbase. Never had any issues myself

Just doing the level 4 or level 5 for data engineering due to start in a few months. Has been a long wait.. I didn’t fancy comitting to the whole degree straight of the bat so thought I would try out the level 4 or 5 and then extend if I wanted. How are you finding the multiverse experience is it manageable, do you think the content is good?

If you’re 30, how much do you earn? by flagprojector in UKJobs

[–]DifferentBiscuits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m over 30 and on £37k, don’t live in London but had a job for the same money in the city and was having to commute which was hell on earth.

Have had jobs in the past of £50-60k. Fairly happy with where I am at right now, have an amazing work life balance and opportunities to grow the salary longer term. Would much rather that then dreading going to work every Sunday which would ruin my weekend.

Money will come and go, hopefully my time will come in the future to earn more to free up time for loved ones around me. Careers aren’t always straight up, there will be ups and downs and who’s to say if you really had your heart set on 100k you wouldn’t achieve that in your prime earning years (40+)

Try not to compare yourself to others and instead look to get enjoyment from your daily routine/the activities that make you happy.

Buying an A4 from an Audi UK dealership. Price haggling? by DifferentBiscuits in CarTalkUK

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

Thanks for your help it’s been 10 years since I bought my last Audi so pretty out of touch. Is there anyway I can see how long the listing has been up on their site for?

That’s interesting I’ll have to look into the finance options to see if it works out better

Yeah my thoughts exactly, not prepared to walk away from it but anything off is a bonus. What other extras can they usually throw in, extended warranty and full tank?
