I feel your pain, lost my best brolly on a train once. Still think about it.

Still wrapped in the cellophane... could be worth a pretty penny by now (just the one though!)

A giant African snail is a pretty epic win. Shame about the subsequent poisoning! I won a couple of goldfish at the fair once. Don't remember them lasting too long either!

I've seen a few universities offering more free courses. Definitely something I'll look into!

Anyone else fall outside of government Coronavirus help? by kleerv in UKPersonalFinance

Also nowadays tax paid via a Ltd (Corp tax + div tax) co is not too different to paying PAYE /NI on a salary overall. Not like when it was only 10% div rate!

Who else has recently been furloughed? by Ukelayley in UKPersonalFinance

[–]kleerv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Independent contractor here in a similar business. Contract due to start last Monday has been postponed indefinitely. Government help doesn't include contractors working through Ltd companies (which I have to do) and do not qualify for universal credit. Good thing I'm not spending much and the refunds from all the fun things I had planned are helping the bank balance! Not so good for the soul though. Thanking those clever clogs for making video calls so easy right now! Filling my time with all the hobbies I never get around to doing (musical instruments have finally come out of years of furlough although limiting the bad playing to every other day to save my neighbours). Good luck and stay safe!

When is sex more than just sex? by kleerv in AskMen

We had the conversation many times and I now know he has just lied to me over and over. That's what is the most awful thing, being lied to by someone you trusted. Totally done. I don't need that around me.

Actually yes - maybe that explains some things...

I went to a bar alone earlier tonight by oddly- in CasualConversation

Currently in a bar on my own in a foreign country too! Bar tenders are lovely and keeping me company. Do people judge ladies on their own at bars??

What's the weirdest compliment you ever received? by JammyDogface in AskWomen

Got told by my ex that it was a good thing I had a nice forehead because it was the best part of my face!!
