Refund?
I think I've been Hacked by total AV or someone posing as.... It was through PayPal etc. I find it very difficult to sort this out as firstly one can't get through to either Total AV or indeed Paypal. Is there a more straightforward route, or do I just go through hoops? I have (I think) sent messages to both Total and…

Flowers or plants by post
Hi. Recommendations for flowers or plants by post as a housewarming gift, please. I've been the recipient of flowers by local florists - and the results have been mixed, to put it politely. Would I be better off with a big company rather than going directly to a local florist? Any other ideas for a housewarming gift by…

Clark's formal shoes dillemma
I bought a pair of size 8 shoes from Clark's. On their website, you had to choose extra wide fit or you could not add it to the cart. Now, 2 months after the shoes arrived, I went to wear them for work and found that these are actually the size of a 8.5 even though size 8 is plastered everywhere. Clarks' have refused to…

Are mug warmers worth it?
Has anybody ever used a temperature-controlled mug warmer to help stop your tea/coffee/[insert other warm beverage] from going cold while you work, or reheat it when you inevitably get distracted? We don't have a microwave (and since it's a cardinal sin to reheat one's tea in there anyway!), so looking for a good mug…

Save money on clothing?
I don't buy many clothes but when I do it's expensive. I can't go shopping as my toddler won't let me 😂 so I buy online or in Sainsburys before work. Not a lot of choice for this fussy person. I looked into 2nd hand but I'm concerned it's just as expensive and things won't last long as new? I usually buy new…

Bread machine recommendations please
My old bread machine is no longer performing. It sounds like mice being tortured (not good in an open plan home) and sometimes leaves black marks in the dough. I have being trying to find a twin paddle machine as I like to bake a decent sized loaf. I did get a single paddle machine on Freecycle but it made a very deep,…

Curry’s Trade In Allowance
I saw they were offering money off for trading in used tech (personally hadn’t seen it before, so I assumed is a recent addition). I think it said you may get more than it’s worth. I put in my 18 month old laptop because I was mulling over upgrading. The offer was £15. Wonder if anyone had any successes using this scheme.

Hi, Does anyone have any recommendations for a good quality mattress company who will deliver, and importantly, take away the old mattress too? It would be for a double mattress. I'm not sure what a competitive price would be for this... All advice welcome, Thanks! H

I have quite a few gas cylinders, I know you can save £10 if your exchange them for new at the likes of Asda or Argos, but can you just get a refund for the £10 without buying a new one? I’ll keep…
