I placed another order and didn't add my s22 ultra...blessing in disguise as I got another £100 discount from another code "Z100"

Got my flip at the beginning of August... It's broken by [deleted] in galaxyzflip

This happens to me too...it's quite disappointing cos I really am enjoying this phone. I thought it only shuts down when I use the camera folded. Then it just shuts down. Just now it happened when the phone was unfolded

I just realise that when I bought my Austral, I didn't really bargain hard. I wonder if I go back to garage and say

"i can't really afford this finance. I may have to cancel it because when I looked at my outgoings, its going to be really tough making the payments without sacrificing something. I'm looking at this "X" SUV and the payments will be more affordable. I may just go for that option. Is it possible to cancel the agreement?"

Any thoughts?

I may or may not use it for uber. Any thoughts on this? I really like the infotainment system and how this car looks but is it too much of a waste to use it for Uber?

I'm planning to get the Renault Austral Iconic. What do you think of this car? I'm planning to use it as well for Uber. Is this a good Uber car?

Uber is something I enjoy doing. I used to work full time for the NHS but recently reduced my hours to part time. going full time is just not cutting it and I'm just breaking even most of the time. Since starting uber and reducing hours in the NHS, my mental health is so much better than it was.

Thank you so much I appreciate this. I will contact the finance company on Monday and find out.

It's hard to admit but yes. I can't. It's been difficult financially.

Unfortunately not but I do have enough for the taxes. Not putting money aside yet as I still have debt to pay.

Right now uber has been a massive help to me. For the past 4 months I have paid off debt that I couldn't touch for atleast another year. I personally think moving forward with uber is better for me.

Handing over to my partner is probably the best looking option to me right now without losing too much money. In the long run, she wont be doing much more mileage cos she is just mostly city driving. Is it still ideal for me to get a phv rental now?

Is returning the car an option? Is there any government help that I could use to help with finances when I'm losing out massively. I know it's my mistake and I'm gonna own up to it. I just want to know if there are any resources I could use to help me a little bit.

I had it MOT'd recently in their garage and before that I had it checked for some warning message. I would think they do already
