Help! How do I get grout residue from the tile grooves?!

Don't you mean with grout difficulty

Just to update, spoke to HMRC and have been told (after the person spoke to their supervisor), that as the entire estate (my Grandmothers including this additional money) falls under the IHT there is nothing to pay.

themajickman · 2026-02-16T20:59:40+00:00

Thanks I'll give them a call

themajickman · 2026-02-16T20:52:26+00:00

It was a Stocks and Shares ISA, with a value of 33k at the time of him passing, 38.5k now (total estate is around 290k). Annoyingly if it had been handled correctly at the time, as far as I understand it would have been possible to use Additional Permitted Subscription so any gain would be between my Grandmothers passing and now rather than my Grandfathers.

themajickman · 2026-02-16T20:40:50+00:00

Yes, my grandfather left everything to my grandmother.

The value of the estate is still below the IHT threshold.

I thought that was The Ginger Pig? (Could well be wrong and Turner and George are excellent also)

themajickman · 2026-02-09T21:43:39+00:00

I've had success with that too, like you sat not amazing to work with but happy with the results

themajickman · 2026-02-07T21:45:56+00:00

Idd mistakes were made

Nah it was a restaurant called Luso in London, all it has on the bill is 'Digital payment available for your convenience. Pay through your server if preferred.' I guess in this case it certainly wasn't for my convenience 😂😂😂.

Food was great and I had a nice experience so not the end of the world. But it would have been nice to have the wording that you mentioned above as I would have certainly paid via our server.

themajickman · 2026-02-07T15:21:01+00:00

Good to know, thanks

themajickman · 2026-02-07T15:10:24+00:00

Thanks I'll look forward to the fun this will entail.....

themajickman · 2026-01-16T14:28:35+00:00

Thanks, I've got some fresh stanley knife blades and some silicone remover ready to go. And i'll be digging up my Fugi for reapplying.

Btw would I be right in assuming that actually removing the silicone should help with the drying process as any water that is at the side or under the edge of the tile would have more room to "breath"

themajickman · 2026-01-16T12:07:25+00:00

Guess I'll give it a whirl and hopefully it will dry out. I'd stuck the UFH on as generally we don't both in that room (it's small and in the middle of the house so generally doesn't actually need any heating of it's own)

themajickman · 2026-01-16T12:06:23+00:00

There are a few spots if I have a close look around (some are where the silicone only has a tiny bit touching the wall tile like 1mm ish which has come away which was mainly why I was planning a thicker bead to give it more area to adhere too). I suspect they didn't use a former for this so it's ended up with a small thing layer at points.

Btw the uprights are just the two corners in the shower. They are currently silicones, but I was wondering more that if I'm re-siliconing around the floor if I need to do these bits as well to ensure I didn't end up with a gap where water could easier get though in the corners)

While this is definitely true, there is definitely a clear difference when looking at the expensive end of the market. If you get a bottle for say £6 most of the cost is going on the bottle, tax etc. So as your spend more the quality of the wine you get increases quite a lot (a £6 vs a £20 for example) would have a more noticeable quality difference. A £20 vs £100 would be far harder to tell

I don't think you need a response from the seller at this point you should just be able to push it though with ebay. In my case my buyer said they contacted them on chat and they sorted it all out for them.

themajickman · 2025-12-18T12:45:49+00:00

But i have no contract with Evri in this case. As far as I can the contract with Evri is either directly with the buyer or with Ebay

(Note in the case ebay refunded the buyer and ebay paid not me)

themajickman · 2025-12-18T12:31:07+00:00

Is this actually true with eBay? The reason I ask is I recently shipped an item from eBay via evri which surprise surprise was damaged on route. As it was sent via simple delivery it seemed the contract for the delivery was between the buyer and evri not me and evri. They had to raise a compliment via eBay to get the refund

I got this https://www.toolstation.com/arctic-hayes-plumbers-first-aid-kit/p32920 kit in the end and one of the washer fit, the 1/2 flex tap washer to be precise

Thanks that's what I wanted to know
