How many of your MoneySaving New Year's resolutions have you stuck to?
In December 2022 I asked you for Your MoneySaving New Year's resolution in 3 words. Some great answers included "clear the clutter", "only buy quality", "no more takeaways" and the rather excellent "be more dog". Now that we're in May 2023 I'd like to know... have you managed to stick to them?

Selling concert tickets from Ticket Factory
I need to sell some concert tickets and it says on their website to use their partner Twickets to sell. I’ve never sold any before, but looks like I could get more for them on eg Viagogo. Do Ticket Factory have bots which spot people selling them elsewhere? I’ve always paid over the odds when I’ve bought tickets, and don’t…

Hi, I'm looking to replace a single built under oven with a double built under oven, possibly a HISENSE BID75211BGUK.

If it's the same…

Joules
Not really much to do with money saving but last year I looked for a nice Christmas jumper and settled on a Joules one, unfortunately it's a little bit small in the sleeve. I just want to check if my memory is correct because I like to shop ethically when it's not insanely expensive and last year I'm sure that they were…

WTB unusual size boxes or baskets
Can anyone help? I'm looking for some storage boxes or basket, but they have to be a specific (non standard) size. 35cm across the front by 30cm high and deep - I can cope with say a cm smaller, but no bigger.
