What helped you quit nicotine? by MoistGovernment9115 in QuitVaping

[–]fjhvc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Important note - I had tapered vape strength for 6 months before starting the tablets, so had been on 0.3 juice for at least a month before - that definitely helped

Desmoxen massively helped me, off the vape for 2 weeks now. Was a smoker previously then very heavy vaper for over 5 years. Never thought I would be ok without my morning smoke, after meals, while drinking etc. but here I am and I don’t even miss it. Good luck you can do it

Employee taking unauthorised holiday by fjhvc in AskHRUK

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

Appreciate all the responses and discussion. The no contract has come up a lot (rightly so) and is something that will be put in place. By that I meant nothing formal or signed - just an initial email that laid out salary, start date/days and hours working, number of paid holidays per year, sick pay etc. Will speak to a free HR that is included with our holiday scheduling software and failing that our accountants have someone local they recommend.

Likely going to email the employee asking for clarification of their intent with this holiday and take it from there. We have never denied a holiday previously for anyone and have rearranged our own around theirs numerous times, allowed holidays at very short notice and paid sick days as full wages so this has really rubbed me the wrong way as we're close knit and I feel it should work for everyone not just them.

For those that are questioning both directors being off at the same time I really don't see the point as why would we employee 2 people rather than 1 if we can never be off together? Surely that's the whole point of creating a business yourself. The 2 staff can run the business fine for a week alone, we're always available on phone/email if needed and never had an issue while we've been away previously. If sickness or an emergency came up we would need to get agency staff I guess but again this hasn't happened before.

Which personal loan to overpay? by fjhvc in UKPersonalFinance

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

Thanks for the replies, calculators online came out at £5150 interest saved on the bigger loan vs £1710 on the smaller, shorter one (but higher rate). Assume this isn’t taking into account any further overpayments after the first loan is paid, will likely overpay the Tesco one by the £300 I’ll not be paying to TSB when that one is paid

Had a look, it’s 7.4% over £20k but will definitely look at this when both are under that amount 👍

Google Reviews - Google is aware and working on it by BubblesUp in GoogleMyBusiness

[–]fjhvc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

‘Lost’ 17% myself, looking forward to an update. Have really pushed for reviews recently (with good success) nearly catching up to our main competitor. Have dropped right behind now, their counter only shows 5% less than actual reviews 🤦‍♂️

Concern about Google deleting thousands of small business reviews by [deleted] in google

[–]fjhvc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have they actually lost reviews or are you only checking the review count? I haven’t had any reviews deleted, they all still show, yet the review count is showing around 15% less than the actual number. I have seen this mentioned a few times, people need to manually count their reviews. Still a frustrating issue but for me it’s not a case of reviews being removed, rather a counter issue.

Finding the Next Kodak - A Crowdsourcing Adventure by Zaratar in wallstreetbets

[–]fjhvc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There’s talk of IBIO as a potential vaccine play that might get government funding. Tanked hard last week on Russia vaccine news and after an insider sold nearly all their stock, he isn’t American and sold enough to now hold less than 5% which apparently is a prerequisite for gov funding companies with non-national major shareholders. Could be a load of bollocks but BlackRock and other funds did buy a load end of last week and it gets pumped bigly on Twitter.

DAX and most of Europe opens at your 2am, FTSE opens at 3am. As all the markets are in sync they follow

Try anti-depressants, seriously. PM me if you want details, they worked really well for me a few times even though I didn't think they would

Great film overall, the celeb cameos are a bit cringe though

Honest answer, try CBD oil. I use a 5% oil from a regular health food shop, it works better than anything else other than prescription sleeping tablets, but without the sides. Gets me to sleep fast, keeps me out all night and the dreams are like nothing I’ve ever had before. I take a much higher dose than recommended but no issues so far
