    Haven't used the charter interest free thing yet. Though I remember you mentioning it now. Not sure current provider will offer a one year only deal. Might investigate but conscious of being quite tied to current provider and not wishing to upset apple cart too much to reveal minimal incomes.

    We're prob not in a position to overpay a meaningful amount. Got a good chunk at the moment so could do SVR for a month but trying to do some improvement stuff with the bulk of it.

    Might not be the most efficient use of the money but if we're going to be living here for at least 5 more years we'll want to enjoy it as best we can.

    Our 2 year fix ends on the 1st august. Have to stick with current lender because reasons. Talk of things going from 5.2 something down to 4-/+ from the 1st. How to navigate?

    Presuming if we suck up a variable rate for one month we can immediately switch to a fixed as soon as rates go down?

    Wise? We can prob take the hit for a month assuming clients continue to pay on time.

    Fwiw we have the below and I've never felt it was underpowered. So maybe something to look into on the plumbing leading up to it?

    Yeah, ours is more expensive unsurprisingly - I'd prob expect between £10 and £15 per kilo depending where you're getting it from.

    Philip Warren it's £25/kg (47 dollar bucks), Sainsbury's is £13.50

    Lol that you think it'll even make it until tonight.

    How much is a chunk of topside down under?

    Looks tasty - though I kind of assumed it would be pre-cut then dried. How long do you think it would reasonably keep like that? Feels like a 'eat within a couple of days' situation (which shouldn't be a challenge obvs but I was thinking of a months worth of noshing).

    Yes but in the last 50 years, do people still make things out of bronze other than heinous ornaments?
