Recommend trainers for weight training
I've been going to weightlifting and CrossFit for a year. I replaced my old trainers with some from Lidl thinking it wouldn't matter but I think it threw out my (already dodgy) hip. What do people recommend I try

Dehumidifier - no water collection tank?
I have a mobile AirCon unit with a Dehumidifier function. We have been using in a small room when the electric clothes airer is setup. I have a moisture meter and during operation the moisture levels don't go above 59%, so I believe the dehumidifier function is effective. However I am confused as I have never had to empty…

Parking lots without machines
The substance of my claim is that the machines at the parking had been removed and there were signs indicating that you had to pay via an app. I tried to connect but couldn't so I didn't pay. Is it reasonable that drivers are now expected to carry a smartphone with guaranteed connectivity at all times? (You have 10min to…

Transferring an inherited pension to an Interactive Investor SIPP
Hello! I’m currently contemplating transferring an inherited pension I
currently hold in a SIPP with AJ Bell to Interactive Investor (II), as the total
value (approx. £260K) is such that the fees would work out lower with II. The slightly unusual situation is that I am under 55, and yet
the pension is accessible to me…

Stronger, Smarter and Saving
Time to face my debt head on and I thought this would be a nice little corner of the internet to document it. I have about £10k on a 0% card and just under £5k at 5.9%, so I'll start with that smaller card. OH has about £10k across 2 cards too - they're both on 0% deals so we've set them up to pay min payments only at the…

One4All Rigmarole
This is too long-winded to put down in proper prose, so here are the bullet points instead: 1: Dublin friend sends me €200 in Xmas gift cards. 2. Can't spend in the UK so I ask One4All for a refund. 3. One4All agrees and confirms no fees would apply. 4. Takes 21 days for £142.76 to reach First Direct - £30 under exchange…

Fund & Share to a SIPP: is it a good idea?
Good morning.
I inherited ½ of my dear latest’s ISA (with Hargreaves Lansdown;
let’s call it HL for brevity). But as we didn’t make it to get
married, I had to open a regular Fund & Share account, also with
HL’s platform, where his ½ of the ISA was transferred into. I’ve
already transferred some of the shares into my HL…

Bunch Utility Bill Management... Numbers dont add up!
My daughter moved in to a new property with a flat mate 3 months ago and it appears they have been scammed by a utility bill management company called Bunch. This company was advertised on the same website they had to sign their Tenency Agreement through, you could say a perfect marketing strategy? Allegedly, they were…

Annual Earnings Into SIPP And Tax Relief
My friend has her own business which earns circa £18k per year. She understands that she can contribute 100% of her earnings into a SIPP to provide a pension, obtain tax relief and also avoid paying income tax on her earnings about the threshold. So 12 months ago, she opened a SIPP and funded it with her annual earnings.…

WARNING and help?: Debenhams and daylight robbery /misselling protection
I was shopping at Debenhams online and upon checkout a delivery protection fee of £15.99 was added to my order. I did not realise this until I had checked out and paid, despite carefully reviewing my order before placing it. It must have been a ticked box somewhere, Debenhams describes this charge as optional, but I never…

Just thought this would be quicker reference than what's for dinner or searching through lots of posts?
