Just wait, they’ll contact you. It’s an electrical issue so they need to know it’s up and running again before contacting customers.

Does anyone know who you would go to, to get a ring checked an valued? If it would be a jeweller's or someone more specialised? An if we would be allowed as well
We have a ring that's been passed down the generations, the problem is, it's a rough cut diamond that technically I think would be illegal to have in today's terms, we don't know what type of diamond it is but we have a suspicion it was smuggled over from Africa, apparently family/friends? (We aren't sure) Went over to mine because they needed people who knew to mine back then an that's how it come back here
Would I even be allowed to have this looked at or even valued, it's years an years old

You should be able to have it valued at a jeweller. The hallmark will show how old it is and then they would know it was an heirloom.
A friend of mine has a lot of old ivory heirlooms she had valued even though it’s illegal to import anymore x
edited to add, she cannot sell it however, only to a museum or some such if they were interested.
I believe some auction houses have an antique exemption for the sale of things like ivory and fur so it’s possible they could have jewelry exemptions too.
I would say an auction house or antique jeweller would be the best place for a valuation rather than a jeweller who deals in more modern items.

Thanks, I'll try an see if there's an antique jewellers around me, if I knew what type it was I'd be able to look it up but it's really rough cut because they didn't have the tools back then to cut them so I've no idea what it is
Am not sure if I'd go through with selling it but it would be nice to at least know what it was an its worth

I would get it valued if only for insurance purposes x
Has anyone ever raised a complaint/investigation against a hospitals treatment that ultimately led to a death?
Anyone having issues with the Zara and HM app ?
It won’t let me scroll down, just shows me the front page then when I click into any sections it just freezes.
I have tried installing and re installing and signing in and out but nothing.
The only thing I can think of now is that it’s my bank manager !

The person I'm dating has recently been diagnosed with cancer . They don't want to talk about it or think about it. I'm fairly knowledgeable in this field from medical aspect, but emotionally in terms of support I don't know what to do. Do I just follow their wishes and not discuss it? I've said I'm there for them whatever they need, be it advice, emotional support, sympathy etc but is there anything else I should be doing?
I would say it's important to respect their wishes as it's a really big thing and we can't judge how anyone deals with something like that. However my only point would be if they don't want to talk or think about it, does that mean they aren't dealing with it at all? Because they may need medical treatment in which case I'd want to ensure they are attending appointments etc. But it's difficult without overstepping boundaries
I'd say that they know you're there, and they'll reach out if and when they need to. Main thing is not asking them to make any big decisions, don't constantly ask if they're OK and be as normal as you can. Sometimes you just don't want to be the person with cancer if that makes sense?
I
I think they want you to see them as the person you met, rather than someone who who is unwell. Perhaps tell them you can respect their wishes for now. But depending how things go , it may be impossible to not talk or think about it .
I rent a storage unit to put a few bits in that I can’t fit into my accommodation probably about 6-8 boxes, over the last few months the prices have been going up with no warning, last month I was paying £67.06 today I’ve looked on my online banking & it’s gone up to £74.88, I’ve rang them to be told they are well within their rights to put the payment up as & whenever they want & because it’s an ongoing direct debit they don’t need to tell me!
I’m trying to find alternative storage but with not being able to drive it’s a pain sorting it out, at this rate it’s going to cost more that my monthly rent if they keep putting it up I may as well move in there
Just after some advice on what to do.

That is categorically untrue. Anybody who increases a price needs to give you a warning. I’d tell them you will be contacting trading standardsI rent a storage unit to put a few bits in that I can’t fit into my accommodation probably about 6-8 boxes, over the last few months the prices have been going up with no warning, last month I was paying £67.06 today I’ve looked on my online banking & it’s gone up to £74.88, I’ve rang them to be told they are well within their rights to put the payment up as & whenever they want & because it’s an ongoing direct debit they don’t need to tell me!

Yeah it is. By law, and your direct debit gaurantee, they've got to give you at least 10 workings day of any payment changes notifications.
Even if it's in the contract that prices can go up whenever, they still need to give notice for it, it's in my phone contract that prices can go up whenever they want but I'll still get notice from them when it's happening, the only difference is, I can't cancel it due to price increase because it's written into the contract that I agreed upon so I need to keep it to the endI rent a storage unit to put a few bits in that I can’t fit into my accommodation probably about 6-8 boxes, over the last few months the prices have been going up with no warning, last month I was paying £67.06 today I’ve looked on my online banking & it’s gone up to £74.88, I’ve rang them to be told they are well within their rights to put the payment up as & whenever they want & because it’s an ongoing direct debit they don’t need to tell me!

I'd look over your contract with them an see what's written in, even if it's DD (which my phone is) they still need to give warning
So not sure where else to post this but I'm torn what to do. My current housemate has thrown a curve ball and is moving out. I found out yesterday so I was straight onto looking at places as I can't afford the current rent by myself. I mean, I could with bills on top but it's a stretch, but funnily enough, my friend asked me to move in with her as she's looking someone to look after the house and her cat while she's away (she works as cabin crew) and she's suggested I pay £600. I have 4 weeks to find a place lol
I went to view a place for £625 for rent for a flat only, and I think I'm in a a good position to get it, and with bills ontop, it leaves me with £1000 to pay my own bills, save, groceries and live basically.
But if I move in with my friend, it leaves me with £1200 a month to play with. I currently pay £600 with my housemate who pays the same but we overpay on gas and electricity etc so my current bills are only £500 maybe.
So I'm not sure what to do. I like the idea of living with my friend as we're the same age (34), similar attitudes etc, but do worry it might go bits up and I lose a friend. BUT then it oculd bring us closer together and she could be gone for a week at a time so i'll have a house (as she's got a 2 bedroom house with a garden) to myself.
I know this is an extremely lucky problem to have in some ways, espically with the state of hte world is in the UK. so any advice would be appreciative

I don't think anyone can tell you what to do as it depends on so many things. Have you ever stayed with the friend, do you know if your lifestyle would match in terms of how you like to live, cleaningness etc? Is she likely to turn into a demanding landlord ? Do you like cats and you're not allergic? On the other hand with living on your own could you still afford it if the rent or bills go up?So not sure where else to post this but I'm torn what to do.

Personally I would get my own place. It’s nice to have your own place and not be beholden to look afrer her pet. She’s basically getting free pet care plus money. And I can guarantee if there was a week whwre you couldn’t look after the cat it would cause resentment.So not sure where else to post this but I'm torn what to do.
