My s&s ISA is up 15% today which as it was already up 70% for the year is pretty wild

Coombeshead farm is awesome but likely a little far but with the bonus that you could drop in to Phillip warren
Hidden hut- the owner has a pub called the standard inn, haven’t been but hear good things
Crocadon farm
The Cornish arms

Given that it's deep winter and you sound like you have the lump sum, I would be putting it to work straight away by maxing out your isa's for this year and next. That would be 4 x £20k (assuming you don't have one).

What’s your technique. I do something similar so interested.

I quarter, season and fry cabbage until decent char.
Add some water to the pan and add a lid.
Turn off the heat and add gochujang/butter - mix around to get a caramelisation.

This is, I think, an excellent perspective. Thanks dude

What are the £150 of materials for taking the rubbish to the skip? I'd say the guttering looks pretty expensive too. Quotes when broken out like that can end up being funky looking though so could just be that

Ibai - was pretty great. I think it’s a perfect place for 3-4ppl. 1kg of steak between 2 was ambitious.

Eg speaking to my wife 😅

No -in decision mode

Thoughts - I think it’s a lot of watch for the price but sort of wish it was 42 rather than 40..

Go on then. Explorer ii interest

north or south of river?

Drapers Arms could hit the spot or Miga in Hackney (byob)

I was a regular (once a week) for 5-6years but last year or so it's just gotten impossible and I live a little further away so the idea of going there on the off chance is tricky. It is awesome and I'm super happy how well they're doing

You could try a little apple brandy or marsala for a slight difference in flavour to the cider. Only other thing could maybe be some chestnuts or a little mustard

Have been for dinner, lunch and a Sunday roast there and all 3 were good. I’d say the first two were a little more special. It’s just a very run place. Shame tables are so hard to come by!

Yeah probably, google meets seems to not love that as an option but maybe I need to try again

Absolute bandwagon jumping here but if I ditched the work laptop what would be the best option for a camera - is there a good built in monitor option?

I'm having an all out birthday weekend for food:

Friday:
batch baby coffee, quince bakery, Leila's shop, Ibai, Fortitude bakehouse, Quality wines or Kiln
Saturday
Cafe Francois, Bageriet, Arome, Devonshire, Noble Rot
Sunday
Dusty Knuckle, Forno, Marksman, Singburi

should be a decent mix and calorific volume

Yeah this is what I thought. Ok sounds good.

Thanks folks. Is there likely a minimum bound for ltv or does it just keep going down?
We have 400k on the mortgage and would hope the value to be 1.3-1.4 but think a desk search would come back at 1.1-1.2. Would there be any benefit in pushing for this?

Sorry if this is a dumb question but haven’t remortgaged before

Does the value of our house matter when remortgaging? It’s likely to have gone up since we bought it but not sure if this makes any difference (eg ltv)

Plates would be my vote but on the ££ end

Having gone from wooden floor > carpet in bedroom I wouldn't go back. It just feels much nicer underfoot. Assuming you have nice carpet obvs. We have wooden flooring in landing/stairs but carpeted bedrooms. I do also think it helps with insulation in older properties

I don’t know how to get that code working!

@duncs that’s for the sports direct valorfly rec I. Finally turned up last week!
