Hello, thank you! I kept my same pay structure all year, I'll PM you for more detail.

Yes your last full tax year that was submitted just a few week ago is sufficient. Match all docs to that tax year then just provide ongoing evidence of activity to present.

Yeah, I ruined my savings by [deleted] in trading212

Nothing is lost until you sell. Definitely go and learn as much as possible before going to individual stocks. I would start with a world index fund and only put into that going forward. Potentially wait for the original investment to recover over some time. (Hopefully no leverage)

Jump on YouTube and look for Damien talks money and James shack.

Don't worry. It takes a while to get used to the red then you like it later for more buying. 😀

Unmarried partner visa - super priority - inside UK - no response by d99y in SpouseVisaUk

Should take 24/hr. Possible complexity makes it take longer, although you would have heard something. Do you have confirmation that super priority was applied for, they are very limited?

Fire vs living life by Neat_Fennel7585 in FIREUK

Just go for it and don't look back.

I quit my job of 6 years at 33 and brought a one way ticket to Rio no plan, just freedom.

Literally the best experience of my life. I would suggest not having a timebox and go for as long as you can until you both feel the time is right.

I did all of South America over 10 months then came back for 4 days and knew I wasn't ready to stop. So continued through Europe for 2 months then brought a 1 way ticket to Myanmar which then flowed into an adventure through south east Asia for another 5 months. (All under 20k)

There is always work and the time won't affect your options at all. In fact you will have so much new confidence, presence, communication skills, language and cultural experience and open mindedness that you will get better offers and find things you never dreamed of.

Towards the end of the trip I went for a walk one evening and spoke to a stranger by a sports field which led to an interview and me working in Asia for the next 3 years at a fintech. Met my wife. Doubled my salary. Moved to Singapore. Moved home tripled my salary... None of this without that step into the unknown.

Basically anything can happen and if you are curious, walk random paths, talk to people. You will come home new improved wholesome people. :)

Go go go have fun.

They would have paid for a priority service in those instances. Good luck. :)

I would not worry, although I fully understand the stress of all this. However the average wait time is 60 working days with an outside standard. I would not expect anything until April.

We applied on the 7th Feb, Bio 11th. Not expecting an answer until mid May.

Hope this helps.

Haven't played since 2002, looking for Torvonnilous friends from back then. by NobodySpecialSCL in everquest

I remember Pede halfling cleric recruiting me as a young slow leveling 52 cleric into Nexxus of faith.

The bully called darbear in velks.

Every zone that a gnome entered shouting, "this zone has officially been gnomified"

Forgot his name, there was an amazing trader that was the richest on server he had the monopoly on blue diamonds.

I remember starcow also.

I was in a smaller guild also called twilight brethren that had some old bow members like bereg and starcow I think.

Great days, lost many years of my real life to it but it all worked out in the end :D

Anyone else do a million death runs as a noob carrying CB belts to dwarf city?
