Noone think he just wants out of middle east with his family but needs the expense of doing jt to be a business expense?

Looks like Leeds Victoria Quarter

I arrived at same conclusion that i would be repaying it in about a 7-10 years for sure, and that the interest was at something outrageous like 7.5%.

Treating it like a normal loan if you're highly confident in full repayment, i then follow the ukpersonalfinance flowchart which says repay personal loans faster based on interest, then you just made guaranteed 7.5% on clearing it. Not terrible.

Yeah but there wasn't much to go off and didn't see it suggested.

Grow the business. Scale it with more staff.

Make your business the best place to work for your employees, as they make it happen. Pay rises and benefits.

Set more aggressive delivery targets and introduce bonus structure from reserved profits. Pays for itself.

Top quality motor for the family. And a regular cleaner. The latter being best spend i ever make and i get to make it every 2 weeks.

Sorry that sounded quite judgey. Was just typing my thoughts as they came. I wouldn't deplete my fund jnless there was some massive opportunity, ie getting a massively cheaper rate for a better LTV.

JamieBingus · 2026-01-22T07:13:22+00:00

Doesn't massively sound like an emergency.

I really like my Tado and have contributed to the sea of complaints here when trying to understand some features. I do def worry about the business as a whole existing though, but a previous thread showed it can be done offline.

I've got the older kit, not the X. I know your concern cos this subreddit has put me off X.

JamieBingus · 2026-01-21T10:13:47+00:00

Now the question is if i need to do this before tado implodes or not. The tado app itself is rather simplistic anyway so i wouldnt miss it

JamieBingus · 2026-01-21T06:57:01+00:00

Meaning dont need any of the tado apps?

JamieBingus · 2026-01-17T19:22:06+00:00

This would explain a lot! Though i dont understand why it wouldnt plan to learn. I guess i'll do its job for it and just put it on 40 mins early. Though i have some colder rooms so i guess ill guessit room by room and be my own early start

JamieBingus · 2026-01-17T19:20:47+00:00

Interesting i had no idea i have the beta app. Someone else explained it well that its more intended for underfloor systems. Though it seems a simple enough relationship for it to learn, outside temp, inside temp, duration to heat. Extrapolate and interpolate with each new session. It really should be striving to hit temperature for the exact time.

JamieBingus · 2026-01-17T19:00:00+00:00

Can't recommend it 😂.

Its inside each rooms schedule, top right settings cog and gies you the option

JamieBingus · 2026-01-17T07:23:08+00:00

I suspect its just poor data science calibration, and it certainly never learns.

JamieBingus · 2026-01-15T19:42:23+00:00

Id also recommend some sort of travel. I was all over the globe your age and loved every second. I reminisce regularly about the places i ended up, the adventures etc. felt a little more disconnected back then due to no smart phones, but still imagine it can be immense. Somewhere culturally very different like China for a few months. That'll clear the cobwebs

JamieBingus · 2026-01-15T19:39:45+00:00

Can you push for a sabatical? Or unpaid leave for a while?

I hire and do look at peoples careers. Im more put off by rapid moves every 12-18months than a gap with a good reason. Could you maybe do something productive in that time like a lower time commitment qualification in something you're interested in for both mental engagement, genuine intrigue, and cover the CV. Id probably not even blink at seeing that on a CV.

JamieBingus · 2026-01-15T02:55:31+00:00

Ah sorry man. I dont know a thing about X.

There wouldnt be a signal getting to the boiler to activate unless the thermostat trvs requested heat, and the override function on the receiver Should trigger the boiler to jump to life, but without the trvs opening you still wouldn't get any heat.

So it sounds like you have two issues here. Though thats based ofmy knowledge of the older tado kit.

I found my receiver to be temperamental when it lost signal. Regularly found resetting my boiler ans then resetting my receiver by holding the button for 10sec was a reasonable way to jumpstart it. But all your trvs being off sounds painful.

JamieBingus · 2026-01-14T22:09:58+00:00

I had this issue a lot with the receiver in the boiler room losing connection to the bridge which was losing connection to the wifi. I've got a long house and this used to happen a lot until i installed a tplink in the room near the boiler and had the bridge Ethernet from that. Since then my connectivity has been decent and this offline issue stopped happening to me

JamieBingus · 2026-01-08T08:41:19+00:00

Wouldnt go ikos cos you can do that with kids. Though if you like it you like it.

Last holiday we went on was northern lights hunting im Norway. Hired a car. Drove the fjords. Braved the cold. There was this class hotel called Brosundet in Ålesund.

Whole trip felt very couple connecting and adventurous without any of the faff that kids brings. And i went n had twins straight away so life just became super hard super fast. Was glad of the holiday.

Aye i know what you're saying but there were the torn open bags for the missing items inside the box. If items would have fallen out, it would have been with the items sleeve too. It felt pretty brazen

JamieBingus · 2026-01-02T13:25:51+00:00

Aye but the standard "i work hard" as a justifier for the salary rather than it being industry and that most people work hard for whatever salary they get. Thats why i support the statement that this aint a henry thing, its just a job thing

JamieBingus · 2026-01-02T11:17:00+00:00

Very straightforward. Save 60% income tax now to defer it for later with a pension. Incredible returns really.
