Only one had visibly failed, but he's changed both. The boiler was serviced in mid-December by the…

Looking for personal finance software
I'm on the lookout for some personal finance software which automatically updates your transactions from your bank accounts. I've seen the likes of Mint and Quicken but Mint is only available for the US and Quicken got some dodgy reviews for the Mac (I would be needing mac based software by the way), any suggestions? Cheers

I would…
