Good evening MFW'rs I hope there is a little space in diary land for me (Greying Pilgrim) to take up residency and chart our journey to mortgage freedom - albeit we're doing it a little back to front. The short story is, that we did own a home - Greying Towers - but 4 years ago we moved into rental accommodation with the…

Hi All My brain is fried. Can anyone point me in the right direction to save or invest 40k for 6 months only, without having to open lots of accounts all over the place etc. Thanks.

Hi everyone, I've received an email yesterday from Gladstones reminding me of a PCN from Parkit Management from 2024. The Pre-action Protocol Reply was done in Oct 2024. This isn't my first rodeo with PCNs but as it's been so long since I sorted one (unfortunately we caved in and paid the most recent one due to the risk of…

If you want your Christmas food shop delivered to your door, you'll need to pounce to get your preferred slot. Supermarkets including Morrisons and M&S are already taking bookings, and there's a trick to get early access at Sainsbury's, Tesco and Asda – with early access at the latter opening TODAY (Tuesday 13 October)……

My sister recently passed. We have no idea who the house not contents, insurance was with. Do we just start an empty property insurance until estate is finalised? We are also having to apply for Executors-Dative, then confirmation. Thanx in advance

Hello and welcome to my little part of this wonderful MSE community. For almost 10 years I have read the contents of various forums seeking advice and inspiration regarding a multitude of subjects. The help and knowledge that I have gained cannot be underestimated and there are literally too many people to thank…

Is anyone else experiencing Uswitch emails announcing new increase/reduce and earn load switching sessions arriving too late? Their emails have been arriving in my Gmail mailbox after the session has started, sometimes by over an hour. I've not been able to join a session for a couple of weeks which is frustrating as they…

We are asking a financial advisor to do a cash flow analysis for pension planning, this a one off job, about £400. We are filling in a fact finding form all quite standard. What I’d like to know is if they will do any credit checks, I am expecting AML, but is it likely they will check our credit report? Any FA out there or…

I am thinking of joining Hometree Plumbing and electrics, what are they like

Morning all, With the arrival of September (always a good month for a fresh start) and our newly formulated medium-term plan to move, it feels like a new diary is in order. I fear we have been living too much of the 'good life' - not that we can't afford it, but feelings about where we live have crystallised and we don't…

I am looking to replace my 23 year old Potterton Suprima boiler as parts, according to British Gas, are becoming hard to source. It still works fine at the moment. I am looking to replace it with a Worcester 24Kw Greenstar Ri using a Worcester accredited installer which hopefully should come with a 12 year warranty. I…

I wish to do a very straightforward DoV passing an inheritance to my two adult children I appreciate that I could do this freehand, but might feel reassured to follow an easy to use template.Likewise I could pay my solicitor to set this up, but it feels like something I should be able to do myself. By way of additional…

Hello everyone, I need an advice what my options are with British gas. We noticed high gas bills when we switched off the heating this spring becuase it was very hot weather. But the bill we received in June 2026 was even higher than for winter months. Obviously we started to investigate and first thought about the boiler…

I have been trying to renew my unlimited membership since August using the partner code provided by Tesco without success. It used to literally be a 2 minute phone call, give them the cose and all sorted. Long standing unlimited member of over 10 years. Now you can't phone them, it literally takes a week for any email…

Hi, FTB here. We received the draft contract pack and management pack from the seller's solicitor. My solicitor asked me: "Would you prefer me to review the pack first and then order searches? or order searches straight away now?" Reviewing the pack takes a week at the latest he said. What is the most sensible way forward?

Hello again all, So this is due in court this Friday and a week ago the claimant submitted an additional witness statement to be added as evidence from their head of legal. The question I have is can I ask the evidence not to be allowed due to it being submitted so close to trial date? It was submitted to the court and…

Am looking to switch away from VM! As I'm not 'FullFibre', I'd be restricted to under 65Mbps, though past experience indicates an actual 30-50 is more likely! (which I did find perfectly adequate) I've started looking at 5G Broadband and coverage checkers suggest only EE and O2 would give me good reception. O2 don't seem…
