Hi, Just thought I'd share some ponderings about when to renew my fix given the upward trends in prices, and the unknowable potential for them to keep going up (or down). My current elec-only fix stops at end-Sept, and I've been monitoring the fixes that would have been available to me over the last few weeks if I had…

How I wish I had checked this Forum before buying a shed from Garden Buildings Direct (instead of only looking at the quick and places to check).

Hi, Hope you are all well. This is not the typical dammit I’ve got a ticket what do I do post, hence a new thread. This is a question whether these companies – District Enforcement Limited (being enforced by Gladstones) in this case - are doctoring CCTV pictures? Is there any history/possibility of this?

I'm at a loss to see how to change my email for this forum, going into my account doesn't give me any options and an email address i found somewhere on a thread for 'help' is not active. I am going to lose access to my current email shortly and want to be prepared.

I don't know how to investigate this. My lodger and I have both had an annoying, irritant dry cough for a couple of weeks now. I went to the doctor who pronounced me healthy and it must be an allergy. I haven't had any work done in the house for months, I haven't bought any new furnishings and I've lived here 4 years. If I…

I have an existing policy, one of those get X amount if you die before you are 70, this ends in a couple of months and I thought I would go for one that protects against inflation, but I'm getting knocked back (they haven't called for my medical records). Any suggestions for suitable companies that deal with cancer…
