Stamp duty hike for buy-to-let comes into effect on 1 April, not on 6 April

This is actually a joke, and I feel like this government do not consider younger generations. I don’t understand this at all, makes no sense to me.

Up to March 31 this year, no stamp duty on second homes and buy-to-lets is charged on the first £125,000. It is charged at 2 per cent between £125,000 and £250,000, 5 per cent between £250,000 and £925,000, 10 per cent between £925,00 and £1.5million and 12 per cent above that.

But from 1 April, each stamp duty band will rise by 3 per cent, adding thousands of pound to the bill for landlords and second-home buyers.

Only God knows when I’ll buy my own house then lool

Can A Guy And Girl Be Best Friends??

Can a guy and a girl be best friends? That’s a question most people find hard to answer.  On one hand, its easy believe a guy and a girl can be best of friends but this kind of friendship is much more complicated than a friendship involving friends of same sex.

On another hand I believe that a guy and girl cannot be best friends. This is because when you are best friends with someone of the opposite gender, any action you take to show your friend how much you care can be passed off as a secret sign of showing affection on a deeper level. That can cause a lot of confusion. Secondly, you will find yourself getting jealous. Lets be honest even between friends of same sex we tend to find ourselves getting jealous if our best friend pays attention or spends more time with someone else.  Lastly and most importantly you never know what the other person feels for you.

Dear reader if you have a best friend of the opposite sex ask yourself the following questions to determine what kind of friendship you have; Is any one of you in this friendship in a relationship? Are your partners ok with it? Are you best friends that don’t have feelings for each other? If no, are you likely to develop feelings for this person in the future?

In conclusion, I believe you cannot tell if a guy and a girl are genuinely best friends and a lot of factors determine if actually a guy and a girl can be best of friends
