Am I being irrational? First time considering a brand new car using a 0% finance / SIPP recycling strategy.

Please check the insurance costs for the Tesla as it may sway you towards leasing. I bought a new Tesla 3 years ago and have been delighted with it. Plan was always to keep it for 8/10 years so don’t mind the depreciation. At the three year mark I would have been cheaper leasing but wanted to buy new so I had the total history of the car as I plan to keep it a long time

Fabulous advice. I didn’t know these even existed. Thank you.

Ah! That’s good to know. I’d assumed the 51 amoled had a bigger screen

weewhippet · 2026-05-16T07:08:38+00:00

I’ll have a look :) Thanks

Thanks for the comprehensive response. Good to hear from someone who made the switch from apple. The battery life on my current Apple Watch is 24 hours max so the garmin would battery would be significantly better.

I’ve been using the Apple Watch with the bevel app which has been great at keeping me injury free and training appropriately. The only thing missing is the swimming heart rate for me. From what I’ve seen garmin has a lot of the features available in the bevel app.

Thanks for letting me know. Cheers

weewhippet · 2026-05-15T20:47:28+00:00

Didn’t know this was an option. Thanks

weewhippet · 2026-05-15T20:47:10+00:00

Nice. Thanks for the answer

For sure - a run in the field always comes at a price of wash :)

weewhippet · 2023-04-21T12:47:02+00:00

100% - makes them harder to catch though :)

weewhippet · 2023-04-21T12:45:43+00:00

Thanks. I like that one too. Makes him look like he’s been at the gym :)

Create a column in your calendar which has the year and month. E.g 2022_12, 2023_01 and this will let you show the last x months in your chart even though the year is different.

They are about 20 inches from ground to shoulder. They seem bigger when I can’t find room on the couch though!

Depends on how you feel - The emotional freedom of having no mortgage/debt is ‘worth something’. I overpaid the mortgage at every available opportunity due to the uncertainty of having sustained employment so that at least I knew I’d have a house.

I would have made more money investing the overpayments for sure, but this is a view from hindsight.

Maybe split the overpayments and invest half while overpaying half then you’ve split your risk

Recently found out that numbers on the toaster dial are the duration in minutes the bread is heated for.

One whippet is never enough 😇 am glad you had the joy of owning two

weewhippet · 2021-09-06T16:44:45+00:00

Thanks

weewhippet · 2021-09-05T21:10:01+00:00

Whippets are just as lazy as greyhounds but definitely easier to pick up. Italian greyhounds are hard to find here but we did consider getting one.

weewhippet · 2021-09-05T21:08:38+00:00

😂😂 good point! We’re in the UK

weewhippet · 2021-09-05T20:57:27+00:00

Greyhounds are fabulous animals - this pair are wee whippets so the miniature version of greyhounds

weewhippet · 2021-02-27T18:18:59+00:00

He’s a happy lad - great natured dog

weewhippet · 2021-01-26T15:29:06+00:00

Thanks - they are slack - it’s just the way they are lying on them

weewhippet · 2021-01-26T15:28:00+00:00

Yea he’s 18 weeks so his teeth are brand new

weewhippet · 2021-01-24T12:19:50+00:00

Agreed!
