Barclays app
I've just got a new phone, and am having trouble with the Barclays app. Luckily I still have the old phone. The chat option doesn't seem to work at all, it just says"We're making improvements, some chat services are unavailable". And phoning doesn't work at the weekend (I phoned yesterday and they were helpful but didn't…

Ticket on Window - Company Van
Hi all, my limited company vehicle received a parking charge notice 13 days ago (from SIP Parking) - it was placed on the windscreen for the reason of "no ticket displayed".

Did I really need to buy deer food?! My 'concentrating on saving' diary
Yesterday I decided after a discussion with dh about my spending on deer food and a bin to keep it in (despite them seeming perfectly happy with the bird food and peanuts that i put down several times a day) that I'm probably not being as money-saving as I should be!! I need to make much more of an effort with my savings…

Fpro ball mastery starter kit – worth it?
I need opinions: I’ve been looking at the Fpro ball mastery starter kit which costs $176.00. There’s a coupon code sporty20 for 20% off, so the price becomes a bit more reasonable.

Sink for standalone 600mm unit
I have a very small utility room with a standalone 600mm kitchen unit. I want to put a sink on top of the unit but cutting out such a small worktop for a sink seems crazy/tricky. Ikea used to do a one piece sink and 600mm wide stainless steel worktop (Ammeran onset sink) which would be ideal for my situation but it has…

Woodford compensation and No Win No Fee fees
I joined the class action with Harcus Parker for redress from the Woodford catastrophe which to cut a long story short was not heard in court and instead redress was made via FCA.
