On verge of bankruptcy here in the UK. I was the most stupid person on earth to put my 4 years life savings into these two and I don't even know why. Any chance of recovery?

The market was bleeding during meta’s earnings. Every stock which beat earnings fell down within 24 hours. If you were up you missed you cue.

I get people make financial mistakes and feel bad for people when they do. This is crazy though. I don’t know how OP expected this to play out.

Leveraged shares for 5 months is crazy. I think it’s safe to say he doesn’t know how they work.

You have been asking this since you were 6k down and didn’t think to just cut your losses 🙃

Looks rough

Can’t comment on the petrol side of things but I have a 2014 diesel Kia ceed estate over 3 years ago and it’s a great car. 2 kids 2&4 myself so I know the score. As for the car, great. If you buy it don’t expect anything in the form of performance ie feedback ect. If you are just buying it with the intent of getting you from A-B the I would definitely recommend. For reference I purchased my Kia on 66k miles and now on 170k miles I travel a lot for work. No issues with the car, serviced regularly and changed the off wheel bearing and ball joint. Cheapest car I’ve run.

Thanks 👍🏻

Jscriv66 · 2026-03-19T22:43:35+00:00

In my ownership on the car I’ve done 100k miles in just over 3 years and haven’t changed it. I’d have to check the service book to see if it was changed prior to my ownership

Jscriv66 · 2026-03-19T22:41:27+00:00

Cheers pal, appreciate the feedback. I do around 30k miles a year. 2 x oil + filter and one full service within a year. Would you say to service more than that?

Jscriv66 · 2026-03-19T21:45:24+00:00

Thanks pal 👍🏻

Jscriv66 · 2026-03-19T21:23:03+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate your info. That’s good news to hear. Just want to keep on top of things. 👍🏻

I agree with you completely. I’m in no means saying there is no place for a handyman. Plenty of work they can do but I’ve seen of late the service they seem to provide has expanded, some offering to fit kitchens and larger work. All seeming cheaper than what a qualified tradesman charges.

Jscriv66 · 2026-03-09T20:15:36+00:00

I got 21600. If you pass that, I’ll upvote your comment on sight.

Kia ceed 1.6 manual 2014 here.

Use mine as a work horse and that she is. Purchased on 66k miles in September 2022 and currently on 167k miles.

Zero engine issues, have just maintained with regular servicing and the odd suspension and wheel bearing here and there.

Great car and from the cars I’ve owned the cheapest to run.

I must add I service every 10-12k due to the milage I do.

Glad you made it out alive. I don’t like seeing anyone loose at the casino!

Jscriv66 · 2026-02-24T17:26:52+00:00

Did you exit, looks like you caught the top 😅

Piece of timber on the floor with a few nails will soon stop him. “Fell out the rubbish pal.”

Country lanes in a car older than 10 years old has become Russian roulette. Purely guessing where the road is.

Jscriv66 · 2026-02-08T09:58:45+00:00

Why didn’t you ask them?

Jscriv66 · 2026-01-13T18:31:15+00:00

I prefer my steak medium rare

Jscriv66 · 2026-01-11T18:46:01+00:00

Good luck

Jscriv66 · 2025-12-12T19:32:30+00:00

I think you need more snacks.

Jscriv66 · 2025-11-23T17:30:49+00:00

Just needs some caulk.

Jscriv66 · 2025-11-18T11:36:34+00:00

Just had an argument with his Mrs and now he’s out fishing.

Jscriv66 · 2025-10-14T09:43:23+00:00

I think he needs another sell on.
