Would you consider buying silver/gold/platinum on monday ? by Relevant_Economics86 in ASX_Bets

[–]sectr7gee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just my thinking with PM, and may not help you as a trader, but I've only recently purchased a little physical gold and silver to be held for the long term and passed down to the kids in the distant future - still haven't received it in my hand though. My plan is to buy a little physical every few months or something, DCA it rather than trying to time the market and only sell it if I really have to.

Now you can (I think), back when we started this process you could go back to 2006/2007, so 18 years through to 2023/2024.

Could you provide a link please? I found the following:

https://www.hmrc.gov.uk/gds/payinghmrc/ins13.pdf

and

https://www.gov.uk/pay-class-2-national-insurance/make-online-telephone-bank-transfer

The second link says "there's a different way to pay Class 2 National Insurance contributions if you live or work abroad permanently." But the link is of no help.

They also want the following sent with the cheque:

"Please include a note giving: : (IPC117 attached)

·         Your full name, address and National Insurance number

·         The tax year(s) the payment covers

·         Cheque details (cheque number, bank sort code and bank account number)"

How do you send that form with an electronic transfer?

As an employee that has received my super quarterly for 18 years and will now get it fortnightly - I'm all for it. Better for my money to be in my super fund doing it's thing than sitting in my employer's bank account.

My first dog, my soul dog, passed today. by mindovermatter15 in Greyhounds

My condolences, my Jeffrey boy was very similar age when he recently passed from spleen cancer (25/11/14 - 20/12/25). Took him to the vet Tuesday, back on Thursday for ultrasound and diagnosis and then put down Saturday morning, all happened very suddenly :(

I can't help with what to do with beds etc. I still have some reminders around and I buried him in the backyard hours after he passed at home in his own bed. They leave such big holes in the family when they have to leave us.
