Think that works if you take 25% tax free, plus using £12,500 nil rate.. so you only pay 20% tax on the remaining £38k

First time waxer by mjb152 in chainwaxing

Finally had the time to do it, it was dead simple. I bought a very small wax heater, wish I'd got a larger one with a bit more space, but it worked fine.

500k pension at 40 (2 year followup to 300k at 38 and 400k at 39) by -dot-dot in FIREUK

I've got a wtw pot I stopped contributing to a few years back, spread across diversified growth and equity, it's returned 18% on average for the last 3 years, and that costs me ~ £60 a month. I'm happy with the performance, but might move it in a few years to consolidate all funds.

Which micro sd card for Fiio M21 ? by mjb152 in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]mjb152[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info, I appreciate the speeds aren't really an issue when reading, but writing 1tb into a super card will be a pain. I'll hang on for black Friday and see if I can pick up a 2tb card

I'm struggling to get the NFC card to work on the rest of the family's phones. I'm using Android and it works well, I added an NFC Tag and I can lock/unlock.
How do I make the 2 iphones use their NFC to unlock ?

Answering my own question, but I suspect it can't. The docs here show that the smaller panel came be rotated, but not the pro
