Why not buy a One Plus One / Two? https://oneplus.net/uk They are a fantastic phone and great value, haven't looked back since I got one earlier in the year. Essentially you are buying a high end phone for half the price of the equivalent HTC / Samsung / iPhone

Can you PM me the name of your letting agent?

Our proximity to the property is working against us here. We may manage the property ourselves in the coming years but I think it would be prudent to use an agent for the first year or two.

I am about to become an accidental landlord and was hoping that someone could recommend a letting agent for an apartment in the Sandymount area. I have been researching a number of threads about the pros and cons of using letting agents but given my distance from the property, other full time...

Thanks, I have a couple of old PC's and I have been wondering what to do with them.

Unfortunately I have very limited flexibility and for the coming year I want to keep the principle intact. After next year I should have more freedom to explore other investment opportunities and perhaps allow for a greater degree of risk.

Thanks all, I have noticed that the returns in PB's have dropped. But as far as I can see my options are very limited especially given the very limited time-frame.

Hi, at the end of this year I will have about 500K to invest for one year, ultimately (in October 2016) tax needs to be paid on this sum at 33% but in the meantime I want it to work for me. I cannot afford to lose any of the principle, with this in mind I was considering Prize Bonds as they are...

I agree, either the driver had a bad record or this was just a concocted sob story. I viewed the damage to the car and I would guess the repairs would cost at least €800-€1000. I will be pushing him to contact the company and return the €100, I'm hoping that in accepting the cash he has not...

No I don't think he got their details. I will tell him to contact the council and the bin company. I suppose there is always the small claims court, sometimes the threat of going to court is enough to jolt an apathetic manager into action.

Hi All, Apologies if this is in the wrong forum. A few days ago a bin lorry collided and damaged my father in laws car. The driver got out and accepted responsibility, he then contacted his manager who apparently did not want to know and threatened to sack the driver and crew if the went...

"The proposed charge to be levied at about €100 per household would also broaden the tax base as some households argue they do not have a television while others do not buy a licence in the hope they will not be caught." This would have been €60 lower than the current TV licence, I'm all for...

She will be just renting the space from the community center, so her income will be whatever she charges less rent and equipment. This is all new to both of us, we have no experience in book or record keeping.

Hi All, My wife has been given the opportunity to teach in our local community center for about 6 hours per week. She is currently a part-time PAYE worker and she wants teach in addition to her part-time as the income she will generate from this venture will not be sufficient for her to leave...

Design / building of bespoke websites, and general multimedia development. :)

Thank you all for the advice :)

OK, I didn't consider VAT implications. Essentially in this case I am providing a service in the US from Ireland, could this incur additional tax. Another reason for wanting to set up a company is because I will likely become an accidental landlord in the foreseeable future and I thought it...

Sorry if I am posting in the wrong forum… I am currently a PAYE worker in full time employment and pay tax on the higher threshold. My problem is this; I have an opportunity for some freelance work for a client in New York. Potentially this could we worth a good few thousand dollars. But I...

I have won a few over the past 18 months and was very annoyed at the reduction in their value. I will be cashing in the prize bonds over the summer.

I think I will be able to fund this from savings. However, I will have to treat this as a loan to myself. With this in mind I will set up a standing order to pay myself back with interest over 10 -15 years. Or am I robbing Peter to pay Paul?
