Example: I only wear black socks. A few months back someone said they don't bother to pair their socks up - just shove them in the washing basket, wash/dry them and put them in the drawer as single socks not "linking" them as a pair at any time. Since this, it has made me wonder how many other somewhat pointless things we…

I tried everything. Tape across my mouth, things for your nose, moulded mouth pieces etc. Nothing worked until my wife saw ‘Snore wizard’ mouth piece whilst telly shopping. It looks just like a boxers gum shield and it’s not cheap at £30/40 but does work. I looked into why I snore and this thing works because it is able to…

Hi all. As the title says I'm in the process of divorcing. I've moved home and need to update my address with the court where I filed for divorce (Bury St Edmonds, UK).

We purchased together instead of separately to save on transaction fees. We purchased 10 NFTs in total which was to be split 5 each. After…

This week's MoneySaver who wants advice asks... In 2019, me and my mates booked tickets for Glastonbury 2020, as well as a pre-erected tent on the site.
