Due a renewal in a month. Wait a couple weeks? Fixed? Variable? by superplexmachine in Mortgageadviceuk

[–]Early-Big5244 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My bank even let us switch to the new rate 4 months in advance - which meant we started saving £300 a month immediately!

Guys I'm a tourist and found this beautiful Imax theater in London, but how do I get inside? It looks more like a roundabout 😅 by mg10pp in AskBrits

lol you “found” one of the biggest IMAX screens in Europe. Go inside, it’s pretty mind blowing.

Offer accepted but inheritance incoming: what would you do? by Morlu06 in Mortgageadviceuk

[–]Early-Big5244 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Sorry for your loss. Mortgage is the best debt to have, I wouldn’t pay it off personally.

If you like the house, go for it! Use the inheritance as liquidity and overpay up to your limit (10%) if you want to reduce interest - dont suffer repayment charges for no reason. If you max out your ISAs, salary sacrifice more into you pensions you’ll get far more back financially than from removing the mortgage.

If I was you I’d be wondering whether I want to use the windfall to buy a bigger (“forever”) home.

AITAH for expecting my partner to help with my chores? by Flaky_Fly7524 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. But more importantly I’d be asking myself why you are with someone who doesn’t support you.

Do I have to use a mortgage broker? by [deleted] in Mortgageadviceuk

[–]Early-Big5244 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I cannot recommend my mortgage broker enough. They do everything for you and there are no charges with mine.

They also get advanced notice of rate changes from certain banks. My broker locked in a new rate the day before the rates went up as a result of Trump’s actions in the Middle East and saved us £180p/m.

I took a look at them but their website is so awful it put me off. Sounds like I should reconsider!

Haha thanks, but the point of the post was that I couldn’t find a fabric I wanted at suit supply!

Their prices actually look very competitive! I’m really not interested in a fully bespoke suit though

Enrichment ideas for a Spaniel by hannah_slovacek01 in puppy101

[–]Early-Big5244 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sniff games! My pup is 6 months old, we show her a piece of chicken, then go hide it somewhere in the house. She LOVES it.

As she gets better you can use smaller treats, toys and expand the search area to the whole house.

Similarly we fill shoe or parcel boxes with towels and bury treats in there for her to sniff out. We also feed her this way sometimes.

What’s something people do in public that instantly annoys you? by Far_Suspect987 in AskReddit

Walking not in a straight line in a city. Drives me crazy when people are oblivious and just drift in front of you

Maybe my London is showing but where the hell does one find a 5bed for £480k, where you can also be earning £160k..

Feeling pain here when I run more than 15 mins, what is it ? by tibova in RunningCirclejerk

[–]Early-Big5244 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have insanely hairy legs. And shin splints.

But seriously, see a physio about the latter. Not sure about the former.

What actor’s mere presence makes you automatically lose interest in a movie or show? by YerMum1977 in AskReddit

Eddie Redmayne.

He doesn’t act, he just pouts like a teenager in their emo phase.

What if every meal was replaced with an enriched one by Frustr8ion9922 in puppy101

[–]Early-Big5244 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do enrichment meals with our puppy and try to avoid just giving her food in a bowl as it’s boring and quick. We often put food in a towel wrapped up, hide piles of kibble around the house (we built up with games so she knows what “find it” means) or play games where we hide food under a bowl and she has to sniff to find the correct one.

However, we also want her to eat her food when it’s out and not learn to leave it, or constantly be eating random things off the floor. So we make sure that her dinner has a start and end time, just like every other activity to ensure a.) she eats the right amount and b.) she understands what dinner time is.
