In the Meantime

MovingForwards

EA''s are constantly on the phone to sols. The search my have only come in that morning and it's in the sols queue to look at and dictate the letter or in the secretary queue to type. Don't get annoyed with your sol as they have huge caseloads compared to most areas of law; believe it or not it's one of the few fixed price area too.

Double check the listing for a phone line and the docs for purchase as it's usually listed. Also, you can do checks with the providers 8T, V etc and you'll see if that road is covered by them.

Glad you've made up with the friend.

Hope you've something nice planned this weekend.

Thanks @jwil @savingholmes

Thanks @MovingForwards there isn't a phone line listed on the docs. I checked the new address for BB and it gave me the strength of BB but not sure how to check on 8T or V but will find out. My weekend was spent with family and it was nice 

So, as said, a weekend spent with family. As the reality of the move hits, I know I will miss them being close by. The nice weather made a difference. So nice.

The irony! I cashed in all but a small amount of PBs and guess what I won £50 which is more than I did for the last few months with full holding!

I sent back the clothing item I bought. At that price it needs to be 100% perfect and it wasn't. It means I have a credit balance on my CC that will be used towards my removal costs.

Amazingly after a super-spendy time, I am still on track with savings, but wouldn't be if I hadn't received the windfall a few weeks back...

I hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Well done on the PB win

Great news on the PB win, they're handy to add to, forget about and dream of the big one.

I believe you just go on the phone co sites and there should be a link to check if they cover you. Depending on your usage it's worth checking mobile sites as a lot do BB too.

Thank you  I've been lurking on TV/phone/BB threads so I'm becoming a little clearer

The EA was wrong so I was incorrect to be annoyed with the solicitor. The final search is not back.

My phone is faulty and will need replacing. I am hoping it can survive a few more months as I hate to think of using my emergency fund for a phone! How do I ensure everything is saved in case I lose access to it in the meantime? Anyone know? If not I will post on the mobiles thread...

I chased a refund this morning.

Yesterday I saw a film, read, made lists and spent time with family too. A good day.

Maybe just now you could go with a contract phone to avoid a lump sum - there are some deals under £20 a month with <£50 up front cost

try https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/cheap-mobile-finder/phone-finder/  which lets you work by price or by need

if you are an iphone fan then transferring to a new iphone is easy so long as you are working.  you can back up to icloud but I have usually managed to transfer phone to phone

I also have an iphone which backs up to the cloud so you don't lose anything.  I would assume there is something similar for android.

Glad you had a nice day yesterday.  Glad the solicitor is redeemed.

If you search in the settings for backup.
you need to know when the last backup was and where it backs up to.
some will be set up to just backup over wifi. 

Anything that is app specific will usually backup in the app.
whatsapp has its own backup process

Helpful. I am transferring iPhone to iPhone. I have as of today, a new (to me) wiped iPhone from someone I know who is upgrading. This is an iPhone 12 for under £100 and will be fine for now..However, the complication is as follows: just posted to tech section...

I have a working iPhone that is on its way out, so I need to transfer to a new iPhone. I never actually completed phone set up. I have not purchased anything with it. I do not have email on it. I do not have a password and I didn't ever use the code. 

If I transfer the Sim over to a new iPhone I assume I can use it.

I am assuming the phone specific things will be on the iCloud somewhere? 

Any help would be appreciated
