Is there one thing you buy too often and don't really need? How to stop?
A non-MoneySaving confession. There are certain things I buy too often which I don't need. Pretty notebooks are the main one - I have a shelf of unopened ones. I'm trying to tame the habit by avoiding stationery shops. I kept away from the Paperchase closing down sale, which was tough. Then, after discovering the 'pens'…

Spot Wash - Vax vs Bissell
We're thinking about getting a spot Wash. The Bissell has a 330W motor but the Vax has a 400W - so a good bit of extra suction. Has anyone got experience of either and whether I should look at either one more keenly?
