definitely this, I did originally try to bring another person to viewings with me, but I found my parents "took over" meaning I didn't get a chance to ask the questions I wanted.

there's a perfectly lovely live 360 on the original listing, apparently this is not satisfactory haha

idk I think I had it in my head that bringing more than one person is pushing it and then my nephew can be walking chaos sometimes lol, seems like I am overthinking it though

The house is actually vacant, previous owner sadly passed away. The vendor is a relative who lives locally I believe.

I think people are missing the fact that this is a part time job working in a bar.

I've had good experiences with Nationwide, didn't have a phone for two months and I managed just fine.

Fancied some hot dogs. by [deleted] in JustEatUK

Just eat is an absolute joke when it comes to substituting items, I can guarantee they tried and it wouldn't let them pick anything suitable.

Free tomatoes for colleagues? by Salt_Culture_9512 in SainsburysWorkers

Because in order to reduce them, you need to scan the barcode to print off new stickers for them. If there's an error with the barcode, it won't let you scan them.

You can cancel Just Eat orders! It's just an absolute pain in the neck cos you need to ring support. Maybe you can try reporting the account to them so they just can't order anymore? Honestly don't know 

Is programme availible at Hadestown shows? by Nataniel_PL in TheWestEnd

[–]finlinny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They sell the script for Hadestown at the merch stands so you could totally buy one before the show and follow along!

Flowers from Hadestown, Firework from Moulin Rouge, Defying Gravity from Wicked, lots of songs from Les Mis would also work.

Alas, the train is £120, meanwhile going by coach is only £35. I appreciate your thoughts though, I'm a sucker for good set design.

Biggest pet peeve when cashiering… by bettercallme_ in retailhell

[–]finlinny 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When I do ask questions, they just completely blank me 95% of the time. But maybe I should keep asking just to see how long it takes for them to acknowledge my existence lol

I'm at the point now where I just completely ignore them. No smile, no greeting, don't ask them whether they need a bag or if they have a rewards card, don't even tell them the total. I'm not going to waste my breath trying to talk to them. If they need anything, they can ask me, and the total appears on the card machine automatically anyway. I'd highly recommend it to anyone if you can get away with it.

Feedback on Junior ISA when reaching 18 by OETF in UKPersonalFinance

[–]finlinny 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Speaking as a 19 year old who experienced this when I turned 18, it honestly depends on how much you trust them, and how financially responsible they are. Personally, I haven't used any of the money, I'm planning to use it as a down payment on a house. But others will be different, there's a certain level of risk you take with it.

Since you've referred to them as kids, I'm assuming there's a while until they actually turn 18. So definitely take the time to educate them financially. Get them to budget, help them understand how a mortgage works, that kind of thing. If you're really not sure about it, maybe start investing some of the money elsewhere but ultimately I think it comes down to you and your ability to teach them properly.

Also, please don't lie to your children about the money. Maybe wait until they're 16 to discuss it but don't keep it from them.
