    Should I buy the car?

    IDEA 
    If you've already paid the down payment ($35k) isn't it a bit too late to ask? Or can you get that back if the overwhelming opinion is "No, what were you thinking"? :) Maybe I'm just in your second category, but I'd want that cost price to be a small fraction of my available cash. What's it...

    I read that the meat-free burgers, sausages and so on are aimed at people who cannot eat meat for whatever reason, not at those who have chosen not to.

    For the cost of these things compared to the cost to the business, it's a bit surprising that there isn't a spare one sat in the back room ready to plug in. I was wondering why none of the staff members offered to put the sales through on their own mobile just to help the customers out, but of...

    I have similar issues with online "contact us" forms - I've filled in two in the last couple of weeks, one sent an acknowledgement email, the other didn't. Neither has responded further, never mind actually replied to the question I asked, both were about how I can spend some money with them...

    Has Moving to a Warm and Sunny Climate Made You Happier?

    Hell, that's a lot. Is that mainly because of the school holiday premium? I'm massively out of touch with holiday costs because I don't really do them, but it's something I'm starting to think about and £2k each seems a lot. I also get what you mean about the down when you come back, and I think...

    Click on your account name in the top right corner of the screen, and it'll open the "Account details" screen, then in the left menu you'll see: But I'm a different type of member to you, so maybe it's different for you.

    Quite Title: Quitting a Job to Start a Business

    IDEA QUESTION 
    It's certainly very easy to do nothing, and never take the plunge, and easy to just get into a rut, and I'm certainly not saying "never quit the job". It just seems that if you don't have an idea for the business yet, it would be unwise to go out on a limb until you have the idea and work out...

    Quite Title: Quitting a Job to Start a Business

    IDEA QUESTION 
    In that situation, wouldn't it be better to build up the business on the side while still holding down the job? Get to a point where they have some savings as a cushion before going all-out.

    It's getting better, though, isn't it? Lighter in the morning, lighter in the evening. It won't be long before there's a hosepipe ban. I still feel cold, though, maybe it's an age thing.

    Yes, I guess it's like anything else, once you get used to the difference in taste, the old thing becomes the weird one.

    We have similar in the UK, colour-coded notes on the packaging for various bad ingredients, I expect it's an EU thing. As MJ said a few posts back, the trouble with all the stuff that doesn't have any sugar or additives or bad stuff is that it doesn't taste all that good. It probably tastes...

    Pretty much all my clothes are black. I was buying up a bit of a stock of a particular shirt from a UK high street place because it fit as well as any shirt fits me, wasn't expensive, and washed well. Then they went bankrupt, so now I have to find another source, ready for when the small stock I...

    Help finding ideas

    IDEA 
    Maybe a good start would be to try to help people more locally, rather than aiming at the US. Granted it may be a bigger market (I read your other thread but I can't remember where you said you are located now) but something would be a start.

    Help finding ideas

    IDEA 
    Well, ideas are the key, for some like me (and you, by the sound of it) the difficult part. What can you do to help people? Have a read around the forum, there are plenty of case stories of what people are doing and how successful they are. You won't see a great deal of detail in most cases, but...

    I'm just happy that it isn't only me that gets unreasonably irritated at sloppy spelling, grammar and punctuation. The "oh, you know what I mean" brigade seem to be taking over.
