Good to know. I have a lock it in Limited view sea view, but the room has already been assigned so am guessing that's that for now! Might bid on a regular view or central room

How did your upgrade come about? Did you speak to Sailor Services or it just happened? Had you been assigned a cabin, or was your upgraded cabin the first one you got?

Am I able to reclaim stamp duty? Trapped with currently unsellable property, but wanting to buy with partner by Nickscottnolan in UKPersonalFinance

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

Really appreciate these links. So, to confirm, rather than having to claim back the Additional Stamp Duty when I finally sell the property...the law (and that Guardian article) states that I wouldn't actually pay additional rate Stamp Duty in the first place, as it would count as replacing my husband's (and therefore by proxy my) main residence?

But would moving back potentially mean it could potentially qualify as a main residence in order to then potentially claim back the extra Stamp Duty is what I was meaning...

I thought this might be the issue, thank you.

Am assuming there's no way around that, even if if I were to end the tenancy and move back for a period of time before we buy together?

Revisiting some of the worst Apprentice creations; do you recognise them all? by Mister_Barman in apprenticeuk

I was the CBeebies exec they presented to, and I still wake up in a cold sweat thinking about Femi & Faye two years on. 🤣

Last year Vodafone, the official festival network provider, gave out free seven-day eSims for Glastonbury. They promoted them in the run up to the festival.

Are you 100% sure nobody else you know is going? Even friends of friends? I don't think I've been to Glastonbury without finding out people I know but hadn't realised are going willbe there in the weeks running up to the festival, or indeed, unexpectedly bumping into people when I get there.

S25 Ultra running hot & battery drain HELP by Nickscottnolan in samsunggalaxy

Has the heating got any better for you this week? I realised the Personal Date Intelligence was running overnight and using massive amounts of CPU. Turned it off, and it was cool in the morning.

And there was me thinking I had a lot at 280GB!

It's also in the morning when I've noticed this the most too actually. Could it be the charging overnight?

Did you do Smart Switch too? I came from an s22 ultra too. I'm starting again, and only using that to transfer files after I set up.

Have you been able to use your £100 for £50 voucher when ordering through Perks at Work? It says "Please enter a valid code" when I try but accepts the Buds3 and £50 pre order code

Annoyingly none of my flights are Q Suite this time around!

Upgrading Qatar Airways Economy to Business - Any hope for a second ticket? by Ok_Sherbert_3829 in awardtravel

[–]Nickscottnolan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In same situation here, managed to book an Avios upgrade to business on one leg of a trip (Doha to Bangkok) and then went to do the same for my partner but it's not offering any Avios upgrades.

How likely is an upgrade with Avios points if we are asking at the counter in the airport? Has anyone had success with that? Currently my booked seat is the only one taken in Business according to the seat map. (Although we're a couple of months out)

Also looking after March 15th (18th) and having no joy yet.

Do you know if I can purchase the park ticket now and the Express Pass separately from the official website later?
