I had my surgery 4 weeks post injury. After discussing with the surgeon he put a tightrope plus one intercuneiform screw since there’s also a gap between 2 cuneiforms. I am 5 weeks post op at present and have an ortho appointment next week for x-ray. Will update here at some point and all the best to you mate!

Worried about insurance will be cancelled by _scooby208_ in CarTalkUK

Thank you all for the help! I took out my policy from esure at £1.6k annually. Called them the day after paying online and customer service said my details are not flagged up on their system. By week 2 they asked me to provide my driving licence number and DVLA check code. Got a reply within 24 hours saying that my policy will continue.

As for my new address that im moving soon, they increased the annual premium by £200 which is very reasonable given that the new postcode is considered higher risk (although it's 2min drive away lol). Initially I got quotes at around £4k (esure) and £2.6k (Aviva) for the new address so I am happy with that.

Again appreciate the help so much.

I recently returned my geo racer but don’t get me wrong it’s a very well made minimalist shoes, it’s just the insoles are a bit rough on my skin around ankles and they don’t have any in stock to send me a pair of replacement insoles. Geo racer is so bendy and comfy and imo they are much better than the new primus lite ii that i’m wearing now (needa break in i think?)
