SIPP and LISA fees
Hi, I currently have a SIPP with Fidelity, in ETFs, so I pay £7.50 a month in fees. My question is, does it make sense for the £7.50 to come out of my SIPP or a CMA.

Diesel car, worth considering?
My car has been written off (not really salvageable) and I am still waiting to hear from the insurer. I was looking at cars and spotted a diesel car (2016) at a good price and checking all of my boxes (i.e. cheap to run, low road tax, reasonable mileage), but I wonder if it is wise.
