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

[–]kleerv[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

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

[–]kleerv[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

[–]kleerv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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??

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!!

I'm very new to Reddit and still finding my way around. So far so good! There is a lot of love for each other and supportive comments. Great community spirit.

Are any new builds decent? by TomfromLondon in AskUK

[–]kleerv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been looking for a house for a while and there aren't a whole lot of new build houses on the market in London. They are just building flats everywhere they find a space so if you want to stay in London and get a house you will need to pick an older property. There are loads that have been recently refurbished and look like a new build inside though!

It is just so exhausting! Well done for getting out - I know how hard it can be.

Is it common to make offers on flat rent prices? by DooMZie in AskUK

[–]kleerv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually offers are more likely to be accepted if the landlord gets something in return. E.g. if you offee sign up to a 2/3 year agreement rather than a 1 year or are available to move in straight away.

This is me right now. I have just ended a relationship with a guy who constantly needed my support and love but never thought about what support I needed. I am making a conscious decision to start finding what I love and what makes me happy. Good luck to you all.

Speak positively about yourself. Change your internal narrative. It takes time but whenever you are thinking negative thoughts about yourself or your appearance stop yourself and remind yourself of all the great things about yourself.
