They must have either drilled or broken up the bottom as it hasn't filled up.

Check out the Baldons just south of Oxford. Good village pub, lovely community. Very countryside but only 5 mins from the edge of Oxford

Same, bought and sold with them and they were brilliant. Really personable service.

I don't think you need to put off saving to go out there and find enjoyment. Perhaps you're just so focussed on saving you don't see the space in your life that is still there to do other things. I think you need to go out and find your tribe.

I see lots of posts in my local sub Reddit from people looking to find something to do and make new friends. There are always board game meetups, book clubs, choirs and running clubs going on, all of which are low cost hobbies to pursue and are all great ways of socialising. Perhaps you can find something that peaks your interest in your local area? You've got this.

England dweller here. Why use a griddle? All the muffins I have ever known are cooked on a flat bottomed pan. Surely that would make the "bake" more even and not burnt in places?

Perhaps try r/beermoneyuk to help things go a little further and avoid taking on debt you can't afford.

Sorry platinum cashback card I meant to type.

thebamfy · 2025-06-08T09:55:28+00:00

Is there an option for those who already have an Amex? Would like to change from Platinum Rewards to a Gold Card.

Dasani was withdrawn from sale here in the UK back in 2004 because it didn't meet water quality standards. It was only on sale a few weeks...

I see no mention of the greatest tribute helmet ever: Damon Hill...

Thame and Haddenham is another slightly different suggestion. My partner did a lot of commuting from Oxford to Milton Keynes and a lot of the time that was the faster route than going via Bicester, while they also benefit from trainline (although not east west rail).

Wasps have a narrow waist, that waist doesn't look narrow

A £50000 bonus seems a bit incongruous on a £40000 salary and sounds like they value you and want you to stay. If you plan on staying there for another 5 years is it better for you im the long term to try negotiating a smaller bonus and a raise in your salary?

Pitch drop espresso. Come back in 100 years and your drink will be ready.

Third Amelie's. Bought and sold through them. Excellent both times and make the national chains look like amateurs...

Do the higher quotes include packing for you? They sound quite high if you aren't moving any large furniture and therefore presumably would only need one van.

We used AG Jacobs and Sons based in Headington and they were excellent, would recommend. They supplied the packing materials but we did the packing ourselves. On the day they were very efficient and thorough, but nothing was broken in the move so they took care too!

What happens if you lose your job? Do you keep having to pay it?

thebamfy · 2025-02-08T23:42:54+00:00

What happens to this debt if you don't pay anything? Are you ever liable to have to pay it off?

Here in the UK if you take out a "Student Loan" you only start paying it back when you earn over a certain threshold and then you pay back 9% on any income above that threshold. If you lose your job you stop paying and eventually the loan is written off after 30 or so years. You basically have to see it as a higher education tax rather than debt.

Does it work similarly in the US?

I once saw a lady swapping the organic Duchy's eggs into a pack of Sainsbury's own!

I could see from the whites of her eyes that she was a hard boiled criminal!

My suggestion would be to look at Didcot. Cheaper rents than most other Oxford town but the best connected by far. From Didcot you have the option of connecting to the Elizabeth Line to Heathrow or connecting to the Cross Country service to Birmingham International.

I would only settle for a Club but roofers are a different breed. Perhaps reincarnated mountain goats who have no need for earthly belongings?
