For some meal deal fans, it's the best time of the year! The usual offerings are being replaced with this year's selection of creative Christmas alternatives. Christmas dinner sandwiches, pulled pork wraps, brie and cranberry baguettes and sides of pigs in blankets in pastry. There's weird combinations and old favourites…
For those of you who are chocolate lovers, this week's poll is seeking your votes on how you like your confectionary treat... or more specifically, what temperature? Does it taste better a little on the chilled side, or do you prefer a more melty experience with a room temperature choccie? Fridge or cupboard? Or is there…

Her SSP ends now-ish and as she has just started…
Hi, There's 4 flats available in a development. The best one (also the largest and cheapest) is in a chain of 4-5. The other three aren't, smaller, but are all chain free. My worry is that if I go for that one and the chain fails I'll probably lose out on the others as they will have sold by then. Do you think it's worth…
A new fibre broadband network has been supplied to the estate. Rather than burying the cable, it is supported on telegraph poles, spaced about 100m apart on the pavement. The road has a bend in it, and of course the cable goes directly from pole to pole. It therefore crosses the front gardens of the houses on the inside of…
We use Sprive to chip away at the mortgage but having moved house I cannot see a way to change the lender in the app to ensure my rewards can be paid. Is this an option and if not does anyone know how I can withdraw the rewards? We use it for as much as possible so between receiving our redemption statement and moving we…

How many days this month can you go without non-essential spending?
It's October... Do you think it's too early for retailers to be rolling out their Christmas Meal Deals? Or do you think now is the perfect time to release those festive options?
Almost half a million workers will soon see their hourly pay rise thanks to an increase in the 'real living wage' – a voluntary employers' pay scheme based on the cost of living.
If you want your Christmas food shop delivered to your door, you'll need to pounce to get your preferred slot. Supermarkets including Asda and Waitrose are now taking bookings, and there's a trick to get early access at Sainsbury's and Tesco.
