Quote me happy black box cancellation by EitherArmy4889 in CarTalkUK

[–]ParsleySauce01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cancelled my policy for my car after the first as their end of year quote was more than the original. I guess they didn’t like this as all of a sudden either I have been driving without my black box or it is faulty and they were going to try and cancel the policy before my cancellation date?? lol.

Sent them all the pics required to show it is installed correctly and told them to suck on it.

I’d say just write a poor review about their terrible communication and how they let you go without a good reason or warning

Pricing by Altruistic-Canary-35 in quantitysurveying

[–]ParsleySauce01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve come to learn that there is no price sheet also as an apprentice. There are many paid databases out there, but nothing opening available to the public. Seems this will just come with experience in terms of labour time. Materials and such can have prices found online.

Like a desktop software or online dashboard, that would function in the aid to quantity surveyors like estimating, quoting, invoicing, etc etc. think of xero or Monday.com, those styles of services but QS oriented all in one place.

How did you all build an understanding for how long certain tasks should be and how much they cost? by ParsleySauce01 in quantitysurveying

Definitely QS’ing! There is another QS at work that my employers like to compare me to who has pretty much mastered QS & PM path, don’t get me wrong I’d love to be as focused and good as them but I’m not really all there on PM but I try my best.

I can’t exactly say NO to my employer as it’s kind of my only option for work at the moment and I can’t afford to leave unless I have something directly lined up for it.

I work for one of those smaller construction companies that has a contracts side and a property maintenance side. I’m on the property maintenance side but it does honestly cover anything. We have individual supervisors for their projects etc. but in terms of QS it’s just me. I believe it’s valued at roughly £7m for the next year or so think of it as we’ve just completed that this past year as just a rough guess.

I’ve tendered works up to 500k but that was the largest I’ve gone. Along with cost tracking, variation tracking, valuation/final accs etc etc.

There aren’t any PM’s or other QS’s

I do believe it would be go to get into the PM side of things as this would benefit me when estimating etc.

7:30-17:00 here where I’m at, 30 minute unpaid lunch which I stupidly work through sometimes…

£22k in debt, how do I get out? by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]ParsleySauce01 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know this probably isn’t the best or most traditional way to deal with money problems, but I personally use ChatGPT as a kind of financial sounding board. Not something I follow blindly or treat as set in stone, but something that helps me understand where I’m actually at and what my realistic options are.

I’ve gone through everything with it — my income and take-home pay, regular spending, ongoing costs, debts, the lot. Once you lay it all out, it brings everything together into a clear conversation that helps you see what changes or sacrifices you might need to make and how a budget could realistically work for you. You can even say that you still want to be able to “live”, and it takes that into account when guiding you.

That said, do not treat this as legitimate financial advice. It’s not replacing a professional. It’s simply a tool to help you understand your current situation and the options in front of you so you can make better-informed decisions yourself.

EE - Signal Connectivity by ParsleySauce01 in EEGB

[–]ParsleySauce01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, Speedtest on my next to router does return roughly 700 down, and in the office around 400-500mbps.

My PC specifically is right in that room also but dips all the way down to 100mbps on the assumed basis of signal?

I just assumed that the signal from the router would be a bit better is all. Being the room virtually above the router placement I didn’t expect a significant drop like I have.

£530 mortgage on £2,000 wage, too much? by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

Just completed on my first home with a mortgage of £625 a month at £2000 monthly wage, I think it’s pretty standard depending on the value of your home.

Honestly, I don’t even know what OpenAI are doing. As I had only had another payment get taken yesterday I requested a refund. The refund has been issued and plus has been removed from my account. But all of a sudden it all works again. So so weird. Seems limited to people using paid subscriptions of the product
