Not obvious things, but hidden things that we would only find about after we lived here? 1) wrong fuses fitted, so underfloor heating didn't work when it turned colder. 2) boiler programmer that is only wired to work with both heating and hot water on together? 3) thermostat…

Praise for Baxters Soup
On Wednesday I opened a can of Baxters hearty chicken and sweet corn chowder, and was immediately assailed by a very strong smell of garlic. It tasted so strong I couldn't eat it.

Launched today. About the first time anything approaching a reasonable interest rate since the Banks/Gordon Brown/FSA crisis in 2008.

Ocado Voucher - Strange offer.
This morning I received an email from Ocado claiming that a person I recommended had their shopping delivered, and they've rewarded me £20 off my next shop. But here's the thing: 1) I never recommended anyone, 2) the min spend is £80. The cynic in me is thinking that Ocado are sending these vouchers out en masse claiming…

Lazy people CBA with mail redirect
I bought a house just before Christmas, and nearly everyday I get home from work to find another letter for the previous occupants. I haven't opened any, so I've got no idea if it's important or not (there was a fairly hefty A5 envelope from American Express - probably T+Cs), but I don't understand why they haven't set up…
