Moving on with things
I have debated posting this for a few days or so. One of the main reasons I wanted to post an update is because recently I said goodbye to my car for good having made the decision to lease another electric car through my business.

SMART parking McDonalds ANPR
I recently went there and realised that the ANPR is only forward facing in entry and rear on exit. It’s a circular car park and I may have gone around twice on my motorcycle looking for a bay, which there wasn’t. I assume bike’s are not exempt, so how do they know I have only stayed an hour? thanks

How To Do A Partial Refund For Collection Only Item?
I have a quite expensive item on eBay for collection only. There are lots of photos and I think an honest description. I would ideally have liked to invite potential buyers along to appraise it in person, but I know that this is not possible. If it sells and the customer comes along I would not be averse to adjusting the…

Solicitor has not started on purchase for 2 months
2 months ago I signed the required documents (in person) and paid for the searches as soon as my solicitor had received the contract pack from the vendor's solicitors. Since then I have heard nothing at all from my solicitor. I haven't contacted them as I know they do not respond well to being 'hassled', and it is holiday…

Travel pillows
I've only used a travel pillow, just a cheap u-shaped one, once and disliked it. In a few months I'm taking a long-haul flight after a cruise. I can't select my seat so will probably end up in a middle seat. I'm wondering if a travel pillow would be helpful. According to a Which? review the Trtl was the best buy. They are…
