I thought VAT was 20%? I'm being charged 29.3% here!
I bought a used bike part from Canada on eBay (I am in the UK). The part itself was £39 and the seller charged £12 postage so I paid 51 altogether. Today a card turns up telling me I have to pay another £19.72. On the card it says £8 of this is a "handling fee" so this leaves £11.72 left. On an item costing £39 @ 20% VAT I…

Couch straight to 5k
So I met up with a friend last week and I let him talk me into doing the local Park Run (5K) on Saturday morning. I do a lot of walking and occasionally frequent the gym to use the weights and treadmill. Anyway, I completed the course (in the wind and rain) and didn’t come last, but must confess it was more of a jog/walk…

Can you swim too much?
I know about running and how it's good to have rest days to aid muscle repair. What about if you swim every day? I've recently started swimming every day and do 60-80 lengths a day. I can't see that it would cause muscle damage in the same way that running would....am I right? Thanks for any insight.

Do you watch people in the gym?
Someone stopped me on the power plate and said 'you have a really great bum'. it was my fault as I was squatting at the time, so my !!! was on full blast. Nonsense of course, misshapen and lots of cellulite. However, do you watch people when you go? I know I do, but only to admire their fitness and work on a new goal or to…

Gyms - Please reassure me!
Since moving house and living on an unlit road I can't go running after work anymore. There is a puregym near me which at £19.99 with free classes and no contract seems to be a good deal. But I'm nervous of joining, and I'm hoping you'll all reassure me, that the gym isn't scary and it doesn't matter that I'm not terribly…
