M&S Christmas Advert
Am I alone in considering the M&S Christmas/Xmas (depending upon your view) incredibly crass and insulting to a significant proportion of the population who are struggling financially at this point in the year. There is significant hardship being experienced by many families, so to be exposed to the excesses of high end…

WARNING AUDIBLE HAS CHANGED ITS RULES on RETURNS
I’ve been a member of Audible for many years. Part of the membership included being able to return books whether you paid by credit card or credits from the membership - so it meant if you didn’t like a book you could return it and have money credited back. They do a daily deal usually £1.99 or £2.99 - these are a fair bit…

Lego Praise
Earlier this year I got a Lego set for my birthday. The other day my nephew decided to play with it, and it accidentally fell apart. Thankfully it was fairly easy to repair most of it, but there are a few bits of the final part missing. I contacted Lego, and they have agreed to send me the missing parts free of charge.

M&S home emergency cover and Homeserve praise
A breath of fresh air dealing with both these companies and it saved me £400+ after my boiler stopped working. I changed to M&S home insurance as they had a cheaper quote and decided to take out the £40 home emergency cover, especially as it covered oil boilers. I had a routine service with local oil engineer not long…

If you look at reviews there are tonnes of people…

Scam Facebook sellers...
Has anyone had these ads crop up on their Facebook feeds in time for Christmas?! 🤯 I've seen at least 5 different 'businesses' advertising this stuff. They link to websites that sell clothing and shoes, a lot of which they also push personalisation on, such as names on trainers. Their websites show TONS of stuff on there,…

Warning
I had been saving up my Natwest rewards for over a year to buy a toaster. I found the one I want - a Dualit lite - after much research on the most durable one available (I'm hoping it will last longer than I do). I checked suppliers in advance. I checked that the B&Q voucher is usable on online - I am disabled and in-store…
