My brother in law stuck his house on the market at the start of last month (Hinckley, East Midlands) at a price that was confirmed by more than one estate agent to be its value or thereabouts. He's...
We used to have an Ikea pocket sprung with integrated topper that was good for a decade, then last year (and I'm surprised no one has mentioned them thus far) we went with an Emma Premium Hybrid...
I don't know if this is necessarily the right thread to ask about in, but it reminded me that my grandad told me he won one of these at work in the late 90s and he decided he was never going to wear...
My worst offender is probably cat food, bearing in mind it's only about 4% meat - Whiskas 12 pack, used to be £3.50, then jumped to £4.50 recently and has just undergone a rebrand that has...
Incoming for the wife, she has recently been spending all her work time back in the office having had a promotion and wanted to ditch her FitBit Alta that is now not particularly useful. Over covid,...
Nothing Ear Stick at £99?
Yes, that was failing to engage at all when the tank was cold and I asked for an advance/always on HW but I could feel the hot water in the CH system below it (too hot to touch). The part replaced...
Yes, the boiler will kick in if there is still hot water in the tank on when requesting an advance, or setting to always on.
Thanks for this - I shall enlist my dad to pop round this evening after work as he has a multimeter and we can check.
This is a very good point, because the culprit is almost always my wife's 9pm bath!
It was a full replacement, the chap mentioned that they only seem to have a finite lifespan. I'd only been in the house for 3 weeks when they came out and swapped it and it was only 7 years old. I'd...
Yes, in the upstairs airing cupboard - the left one was replaced 18 months ago, picture here: https://imgur.com/7NCEaLI
I've had three heating engineers out whenever this issue presents under my emergency homecare package and not one of them has been able to adequately resolve a recurring issue and it's starting to...
A few years old Thinkpad would get my vote, something like an x250 is going to run you under £100 from eBay for an i5 with 8gb and a basic sized SSD and you can get a cheap dock for it for home use...
Boring I know, but looking at replacing the one we inherited with the house when we moved in, because being 6'5" and it being installed at just under a foot lower means I'm pretty much incapable of...

I had a Casio AW43-7E1V from around 8-23 that ate more replacement straps and batteries than the purchase price by many times over I suspect. If we count from when I started my interest in watches...
My conveyancers held back £500 of my money that wasn't needed in the event of things (legal letters informing my move to the grounds management group weren't required) but they still insisted on...
Honestly, any mid-range anodised aluminium £20 non stick is going to be acceptable for the purposes outlined, absolutely no need to spend anywhere near £50. From my experience you ideally want a...
Local government here, 1.75% that was supposed to be in effect last April that still hasn't been agreed by the unions so anyones guess as to what 2022 offer will be even with inflation as it is.
Keep an eye on places - Argos was showing as out of stock for me for ages (iPad 9 64gb), then one morning at 11am a few weeks back it was available to order so I went ahead and got one delivered to...
I've been on 4G with Three since March this year when we moved house on a £30 monthly rolling contract which is much more expensive than current deals but we had no idea how long we'd need it -...
I ran into the estate agent who sold us our house last year at the end of the road in the past week - he'd just sold the house round the corner that we looked at last year for £30k more than it's...
I think the biggest factor here is how much data do you want and does it need to be 5G because that seems to be where the contract deals have the edge on large or unlimited allowances that work out...
