I had to get to zone 6 today on personal errand. Now I need to take about 5 buses and 2 hours to get back home. What a load of rubbish. For the ticket price they charging and the level of services they offer, can't believe they are actually cheeky enough to go on a strike.

The OP is asking if there's an app that could tell him when the charge mode goes to off-peak mode for his electricity. What I don't get is the amount of butt hurt people here patronizing him. The whole point of having an app is so it does the thinking for him, not whether he could just check...

It's mostly a fashion fad to be honest. Though selvedge denims does has it's characteristics. Basically a selvedge denim has it's own self-finished edge of denim on the outer-seem (usually white edge with red line). You are suppose to roll up the hem and reveal the selvedge. It's usually raw...

Sounds like you would be better off with some Japanese branded denims if that's your thing.

I thought the reason why such item was never invented is because you are more than likely to doze off in one of them, rather than increase productivity.

So despite the fact that no one seems to know what happened exactly, it seems the majority that supports Clarkson defends him by saying, "this is an adult world, you get punched at work so get over it. he shouldn't be fired." Surely this isn't good reasoning?

I just turned 30 about 2 months ago. For many people years in age is just a number. However, sometimes it does help to put things in perspective. It was somewhere scary to realise you are already in this world for 30 years. Still feel like I have no clue to how the world works. I can see...

Well, the reason I posted this thread is to gain awareness, which a few of you provided very solid advice. I am not posting to boost that I will have £1000 to spend every month, rather than the fact that I will be in the responsibility of the apartment and need to budget properly to make sure...

What's so confusing about my post? 1. I am buying my own flat through shared ownership. 2. Parents helped by providing me deposit money. 3. I changed from being a contractor (self employed) to a permanent employment as it's much stable and it was harder to obtain a mortgage when you are...

Actually I've paid all my income tax and corporate tax as I earned (putting the tax money into a dedicated tax account). However, for the first year when I started contracting, I did receive a tax bill of £1600 that came a year later :eek:

But assuming your living condition would be considerably better than your peers?

I question myself this all the time!

Thank you! I'll take a look at this.

Nothing really that significant. I am a producer working in advertisement. And as a contractor I'm not even getting paid that much, about £200ish day rate. *edit* by not much I meant that standard day rate for freelancers usually go around £300.00 in my industry, with senior level goes up to...

Surprisingly, I haven't achieved much. Let's see where all the money went: - Dining out / take aways few times a week. - Visit supermarket random times of the week with the missus buying whatever we wanted. - Booking holidays to Europe on impulse - Spending a hundred quit a week buying drugs...

As mentioned above I wasn't really paying attention to what I was spending, and generally not taking responsibilities for the past few years. Bit complicated back story there. I was getting paid well indeed, but I was not living a normal life either. I did not save up and I actually ended up...

Sorry I wasn't being clear before. When I said 5 times I meant 5 times to my current £700 disposal income (after bills), which makes it around 3.6k on a monthly basis after tax. However, as I am working as a contractor, there will be time when there's no work, such as Christmas and New Year...

In my defence, I have always knew and thought about this. Only posted this thread as I'm getting the key this Friday ;)

I would say it was because I never took on responsibility like this before, especially financially. As I was earning significantly higher when working as a contractor, I hardly ever watched my spending (within reason). Then as soon as I've became permanent employed and bought a flat, I...

Can I sell my body? :D
