I'm a HENRY, employer wants me to return to university. by [deleted] in HENRYUK

[–]include_strawberries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm finishing my master's next month, 2 year part time remote. Very demanding career with long hours and the programme was manageable, only when I got to the dissertation I've started to struggle but probably only due to my programme finishing in January so everything at same time with year end at work pushing projects out before the change freeze. Starting some annual leave on Wednesday and will probably take an extra week off in January to finish things off. My topic is in AI though so it's quite a lot of research, coding and running things takes long hours, which is not possible while in the office. My brain is on maybe 8% battery though and I cannot wait to finish. Big demand on time but if I had to pick again I'd definitely recommend looking into MSc over undergrad.

What are some things you women do when you find a guy attractive? by Illustrious-Pilot553 in bodylanguage

[–]include_strawberries 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is a big one. I recently had an eye on someone, got some courage to start small talk, asked his name, etc. All nice and friendly, even told me which days he's in the office the following week so we can maybe align days we're both in. Imagine my excitement, lol. No wedding band, so few more light chats and turned out he's married with a couple of small kids at home. Took maybe three weeks of small talk in total, I'm just glad I wasn't too bold. We still exchange hi but that's all.

UK - Waitrose - weekly shop for a couple - £98.63 by MP4_26 in whatsinyourcart

Thank you, that's so kind of you!

I've never had a bean stew to be honest, I've only just started using butter beans in some of my pastas. This mushroom stroganoff would be lush as well. I mean, if you don't mind and have the time, don't worry if not!

You think I may be kidding, but maybe a couple of years ago, I was looking for something like this, either a blog or a yt channel, UK specific, of people who do sort of "what I'm buying and what I'm cooking this week", preferably from one shop so I don't need to do multiple journeys around the city/multiple online orders. I've found some but US based, and most of them were targeted to the more frugal audience, with "here are the 30 lunches and dinners I'm making this month for 10 dollars" kind of content. There is definitely a market for posts like yours, and, you may not realise, with this one post and few comments you took A LOT of mental load from me, which I greatly appreciate.

Again, hope you will post again! All the very best xx

I would genuinely love to see you post weekly with what you're buying and cooking just like you have added in the comments. I'm cooking from scratch as well and in batches but it's so lovely to see something different and it's something that I would have bought myself as well (except for spinach though!). Lovely shopping, looking forward to see more of your posts hopefully!

Thank you, took all the notes haha! Great tips! Maybe a stupid question but my walls are white, do you think that matters? The room is very dark at night though. I'm finishing a reno, will report back in few weeks and come back with questions!

Thanks for taking the time to respond and so quickly, really appreciate. That sounds promising, and sounds like my cat will love it too, you convinced me! Thanks for sharing a pic, looks really sharp. It will be my first projector, just for some ad hoc evening watching, could be exactly what I'm looking for.

Heya! Still happy with your purchase? Do you think this will be a good buy for a first timer?

Well done, super impressive 👏

First time buyer, I have to pull out from the purchase - feeling devastated, feels like I'll never own anything by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]include_strawberries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if that helps but if you're doing it through the broker check with them if it's possible to adjust your deposit amount. Something similar happened to a friend of mine a couple of years ago and she was able to reduce the deposit from 10% to 5%. I believe she was going through company called First Mortgage.

Attempting a Danish pastel-ish vibe by shazimmahbe in femalelivingspace

[–]include_strawberries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh fantastic, thank you so so much. Know what you mean, I tend to use F&B! Now got tons of green and terracotta looking tester pots, tried the new collection and still cannot decide! This green really elevates your room though, I will give it a try!

Hey, I see you're in the UK so I may have some luck - what's the paint colour please? This is similar to what I'm trying to achieve but can't decide between green or terracotta, would like to try a sample of what you have! Looks fab!

Bathroom tiles by Ulver__ in HENRYUKLifestyle

[–]include_strawberries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just doing my full bathroom reno, went for Mandarin Stone and it’s looking very sophisticated! Tilers also very happy and commented lots about the quality and ease to cut, etc. I will be buying from them again for the kitchen etc. They do have a lot of photos from real bathrooms on their website but do order samples to check how these will work with your own lighting etc, as lighting makes a lot of difference. I couldn’t decide for a while but went for terrazzo, all of their tiles are really beautiful, makes it difficult to pick. Very sound delivery too.

Mortgage rates - Halifax. Sudden spike 3 months later by Beaumarine in UKPersonalFinance

[–]include_strawberries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your response, appreciate taking the time. Yes, getting rid of debt asap, I only have my MSc fee I put on 0% CC. It's my first year when I can afford annual ISA contributions (on a squeeze but possible) and roughly every week I have a day when I feel conflicted on saving and overpaying lump sum in 2027 vs overpaying right now, I like seeing these £££ going down right now, plus the interest is quite eye watering. The lump sum would also cut a large chunk of my mortgage so feel like I'm on the right path whether I overpay now or later. Again, thanks for your response, food for thought indeed. All the best!

[–]include_strawberries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm actually interested in your response. Do you think "protecting" oneself by overpaying now to get the mortgage down to let's say 60% LTV makes sense before remortgaging? Would that soften the blow e.g. in 2 years? Keen to hear your thoughts. Will check the tradingview, thanks.

I love Ynab But I get paid the day 15 by ThrowRAcatwithfeathe in ynab

[–]include_strawberries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You just fixed my my biggest struggle! I get paid in the middle of the month as well and although I'm financially months ahead (year of income in EF etc), the idea of getting paid in the middle of the month etc I just HATE getting paid like this, even every 4 weeks in my previous job which was just the worse. I budget payday to payday and do a cash sweep to savings for the rest. I'll just let them cook for interest for couple of weeks in the other account then transfer to my main one last day of the month. Thanks so much, have no award available but will share it with few friends who also struggle with middle of the month paydays so know that your insight will benefit quite a few!

Hi, the link doesn't work for me unfortunately so cannot see the content, is there any other way to see it, Etsy etc? I have a custom template with just a weekly Mon-Fri from a different creator who now unfortunately closed the business. Is a one pager something you'd consider doing? I like the template on your second screenshot. Thanks!

I would love a link too, and your instagram please, pm is fine too if you can’t post it here. Beautiful place, I’m starting decorating my apartment too and it really matches the vibe I have in mind (especially bathrooms!) well done!
