Starting to pick up again if you want to buy euros

Thanks

Please don't pay and see what happens.
Could make a good story as we follow you through courts/ further disputes over the carpet.

Nothing will happen.

Yea could provide endless entertainment, all I need is a GAA Board solicitor to represent me, any volunteers?

I did have a fire guard but didn't have it on one night and a hot coal rolled out onto the carpet

Was thinking of that. What if I get a quote for repair work (got a quote over phone for approx £70) or make an offer as gesture of goodwill?

Thanks for all the replies

I hope so...

Bit of advice required. I rented a house in Belfast from June 2012 and moved out last week. The initial lease was for one year and I never signed anything to extend it but kept up the monthly payments. I paid a deposit of one month's rent at the outset. At the end of February I contacted the landlord to say I was moving out at end of March and to use the deposit to cover the final month's rent. She has rang a few times since I moved out but I haven't answered or returned the calls. There were a couple burns on the carpet where sparks had escaped from the open fire. The email below was sent today. Any advice on what to do would be much appreciated; don't fancy going down the legal route nor do I want to pay out £250. Thanks


I am writing to ask you to contact me regarding the damage to the living room carpet.  I have phoned you and left messages so we could sort out this situation amicably.  As you have gone against the rental agreement drawn up by UPS and used your deposit as the last months' rent I am requesting compensation from you for the replacement of the carpet.  When you moved in you asked could you use the fireplace and you were told you could if you used a proper grate and fire guard.  Clearly these instructions were not followed and subsequently damage to the carpet has occurred.  Replacement and fitting of the carpet will be £250 and I request you send me a cheque for this amount to the address above. 
If I have not received any correspondence from you before 12th April I will be forced to contact my solicitor and take this matter further.
Yours sincerely

Great win for clonoe. Congratulations.

KYMI- McAlliskey dropped for Sunday, is he injured?

Best of luck to the O'Rahillys in Sundays ulster final. Would top off some year for the club. Good interview with Cassidy in Gaelic life yesterday

Don;t forget the interest effect too

if you have £10k in sterling sitting in a ISA at say 3% that would earn you £150 ish over the 6 months, whereas if you withdraw it all and change to Euros you lose that.

Also think about what are you going to do with the money when you lift it - pay the venue, or having sitting around?

We had the same question before our wedding, and in the end decided we didn't want a fortune in cash lying around, didn't want to pay the venue/suppliers early and that the fees for depositing and withdrawing in my husbands Euro account together with the commission fees and the loss of interest etc that it wasn't worth changing it as we didn't really expect any major exchange rate fluctuations.

I am now very glad we made this decision as the rate when we booked the wedding was about 1.15 and by the date of the wedding was 1.2

I was planning to deposit into my euro account. Would there be questions asked? Don't think there would be a deposit charge? The online sites mentioned seem to transfer electronically and I'd assume they would put into my euro account ok

Thanks for the replies. Fairfx offering 1.19 rate on £10k at the minute

Bit of advice required. I've the wedding coming up in October and have to pay for it  in euro. Been keeping an eye on exchange rates but not much change lately. Some of the experts suggesting sterling value will fall in run up to Scottish independence. Is now the time to buy? Where would the best place to deal with for a large amount around £10k worth? Thanks

Terrible to see the clubs in Tyrone once again being held to ransom by the U21s and Senior county sides. Cant even give a clear date for the start of the ACL. Disgrace.

Have a look at how cork are working with the clubs from manager Brian Cuthbert: "Now he has announced that his squad players, not involved for the county on a given Sunday, have permission to play with their clubs the day before. For a long time, I've seen guys on squads not getting on the team and going three months without any matches. They've no chance for improvement then. It's vital, the way our training works, that everybody plays a game every weekend," he said.
