I currently am using Saucony Hurricane 24 for about a year and half now and they have been great for me as a do it all. Been on and off and done abour 600k in them now but they are starting to come to the end of their life I fear.

Would you recommend getting a brand new pair of Hurricane 24s (i can get a pair in my size for around £90) or look to get a different model? Definitely need more of a stability shoe.

I am looking to do my first half marathon at the end of year and then hopefully a marathon next year most year so I will be looking for a faster stability shoe in the future but need a new do it all pair for the summer months.

Interested to see what people think.

TIA

Hi all,

I (Recent Grad) am sort of wanting a sanity check on longer term strategy involving my employers SIP. Currently on 32k/yr, Plan 2 Student Loan, pay 6% into pension, employer does 8%, emergency fund, LISA, budget etc already accounted for.

My employer is a large, stable FTSE 100 aerospace firm (Probably can guess who). They offer SIP with 1:1 match and I plan to contribute £75 a month, so essentially get £150 of shares for a £47 net cost (I think).

I plan to let these shares mature for the full 5 years and then once a year after that use the 90-day transfer rule to move them into an S&S ISA (currently Trading202). Once in the ISA, I will then diversify (even though the company is doing very well in the past 5 years). I will still go through SIP after the 5 years and just repeat the process every year.

  1. Has anyone successfully moved matured SIP shares in Trading212? Need to fully understand how that process works.

  2. It feels like a 9% immediate win by taking the money gross, but I am missing any traps or ways I could do it better? I know I am gaining more from the Tax, NI savings and the employer matching anyway.

TIA

Hi all, posting on behalf of a relative but I have used Vinted both as buyer and seller but this situation has never happened to me before.

So sent a parcel to a buyer through inpost, using the locker to send it. The buyer missed the order in the locker on their end (due to completing the London marathon so congrats to them). This means the order is being returned to the us. The buyer has reached out saying that still want the item and apologised for missing it. Just to note as well its not an expensive item of clothing (Less than £10), so I don't think there is any

What happens when the item is returned to us if they still want it? Do we have to still relist it and the buyer pays again or just resend (and generate a new label to be put in the inpost locker?

TIA
