Cover from D&G for hob bought from AO not informed of other charges
Surely this is not legal, last year I bought a hob from AO and the customer service assistant told me about cover from Domestic and General, it wasn’t a lot of money and it covered accidental damage and replacement if it can’t be mended. I received a letter “still here keeping you covered” and have realised if my hob…

Beko dishwasher problems
Our Beko dishwasher, after running without a hitch for many years, suddenly developed issues - quite a bitty story, sorry. We called out an engineer from a local (well established) business to see why it was trying to start but couldn't seem to run through the program. He re-set the program (I didn't see what he did and he…

Van insurance renewal higher than a new quote with Directline?
I'm just off a chat with Directline over this. My (personal) van insurance renewal came in last week, with a quote of just over £1400. I just ran the exact same details through as a new quote, and it came in around £1075. Apparently my renewal is the best price they can give me, and they wouldn't budge on the renewal…

14 months to go!
As moneysavers go, I've never been in the depths of being in debt. I'm more of a 'there's always something' at some point in the month that happens, that messes my beloved budget up and I predictably feel down on myself for either not being prepared or not foreseeing something that I should! I live on my own (apart from my…

All change for 2025
I thought I'd start a new diary to have a fresh start. After almost 21 years in my job, I've recently been placed at risk of redundancy. I'll find out for sure in the new year. If I manage to successfully challenge the redundancy, things will be very different at that employer next year, and if I do go, there will be a…

We have separated our savings, and he is exploring options to…
