I think a lot of companies do subscribe and save, and if its something you use regularly then it is a good little money saver.

Yeah, it's a great tip @abaka, as I'd no clue that dust was even something to consider to be honest. I'd bumped into a different childhood friend coming out of the Apple Store and told her what happened to my MacBook and she was stunned that this was even something to consider.
I need to look at different subscribe and save options @Makingabobor2 and figure out cash back stuff. As there's things that I need regularly anyways, so I might as well save some money 🤗.
I forgot to say that I have a new Care Coordinator at the Community Mental Health Team (CMHT) has been assigned to me. I met her yesterday and she seems really nice. So hopefully, she'll be able to help me work through a few things, as life is quite tough at the moment.
And I'm very behind on my studies so the goodwill free extension that expires in December 2026, is not going to be enough time, and so I am saving for the additional 6 month extension which is £215.

Yes @Keedie, cash back sites are excellent. Every little helps, as they say.
