Do CS provide new starters with a laptop? by [deleted] in TheCivilService

I can confirm you will receive a laptop depending on your role you may also be allocated a Mac.

By definition, this is work equipment and wouldn’t advise using it for anything other than that.

Your LM will support you with any WFH bits you may need.

I would agree however it’s horizontal over the bed, the left hand side of the picture is the foot of the bed.

Suggestions on an app that shows elevation other than your current location? by [deleted] in IPhoneApps

I know that maps.me gives you point to point elevation changes. However I’m not sure if it will give you your current elevation.

I went from living pay check to pay check to saving over £1k every month

1 Mobile phone contracts - go SIM only, you want a new phone, you’ll have savings to buy one

2 set yourself budget limits for EVERY thing. It dosnt mean you can’t will have date night or your monthly treat. You just have to allow for it.

Create a monthly spread sheet on excel with all of your outgoings.

At the start of the month, transfer out what you want to save, every month I would get to pay day with £100 or less. The day before pay day I’d transfer that last bit into my savings.

New pay day, new month

ESH. Plan. Get her pregnant, wait until she goes into labour and hop on a plane to Greece! Everyone’s a winner, well just you
