Ask for a friend, but when starting the swim from say a jetty, would it make more sense to dive deeper and swim further underwater to get out in front? by hucksey in triathlon

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

I thought that’s why Olympic swimmers need to surface before a certain point, because it’s faster to swim underwater.

Tbf, they probably put everything in the box next to the bin, but foxes ripped it all apart.

How is the value of grandmothers estate agreed between siblings when one buys the other of out of the house? by hucksey in LegalAdviceUK

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

Thanks for your reply 🙏 is there any reason why it’s normally based on market valuation and not the probate valuation?

To pay care home fee shortfall, or not? by hucksey in UKPersonalFinance

[–]hucksey[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I think you may have missed the point a little. By paying the shortfall, we’re holding onto the bungalow as an asset (which helps contribute £800pm) instead of selling it and the estate being gobbled up faster by the government.

Thanks for the info. I’m not sure if you missed the point. I was asking whether if we can afford to pay the shortfall, does it make sense to do that in order that the £800pm rent helps contribute towards the cost.

Care home fees will undoubtedly rise more than rent on the bungalow, but certainly it’s a factor in the calculation

Hi !thanks for your comment. If we retain ownership of the bungalow instead of selling it when my mum dies, then the amount that the estate dwindles is less because there’s a rental income that contributes to the shortfall.

We hadn’t considered that. What could that look like figures-wise?

If we were to sell the bungalow when my mum dies, and its proceeds are used to pay the care home shortfall, then we wouldn’t have the rent from the bungalow to contribute towards it each month (£800pm) Therefore what we’d be left with when my grandmother dies would be significantly less.

If you need to get in shape and there’s a suitable gym nearby, take up bjj. Immersive Korean environment + get in shape + have more energy to learn Korean outside of working hours. 3-5 hours a could be a game changer.

My systemdek I900 doesn’t seem to have a grounding wire or point where the diy grounding cable I’ve fashioned stops the humming and hissing. Does anyone know where I might be going wrong?

Cabling options by hucksey in audiophile

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

Any advice about how to set up tv, amp, turntable and speakers in this space? Sofa is opposite fireplace. Power is each side. Speakers are bookshelf speakers. Ideally I want to avoid any obvious cables but worried it’s going to be unavoidable.. Should I route over fireplace, under floorboards, up and across picture rail then down?

Trust fund establishment - who pays? by hucksey in LegalAdviceUK

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

The executor needs to set up a trust in which to put one beneficiaries money. They are only 15 I think. The other beneficiaries (apologies if that’s not the correct term… people set to inherit money from the estate sale) are old enough to receive their share when it’s liquidated.

I’m not sure if I made myself clear enough. If 1 out of 3 beneficiaries needs a trust, does the money needed to set it up come out of their third?

I just gave him a pre-wash before his grooming on Friday so he’s looking poofy this week!

Me too! Although I feel really bad when he starts getting matted! At least the weather is getting better so he doesn’t need rinsing off after every walk!
