    Preloved.co.uk

    Ditto - even better at the bottom of the page is a link to 'Freeloved' which is at it suggests. We got our three piece suite from it for free (seriously) and it was only a few months old. We voluntarily bought them a few bottles of wine to say thank you, but it is truly astounding what people...

    Wedding bliss ... on a budget: From a campsite for guests to home brewed champagne -

    Re: Wedding bliss ... on a budget: From a campsite for guests to home brewed champagn The link won't open for me, but the headline sounds just perfect! So much spent on one day and, as it sounds as though this proves, it is possible to celebrate in style and still cut costs significantly.

    Nexus 7 lifespan

    That's cheating! :p :D I am surprised it's so short a lifespan. My daughter's iPad is very much on borrowed time! :eek:

    Nexus 7 lifespan

    It has been updated, and it states tablets as having a life expectancy of 2-3 years, so ALewis was absolutely spot on.

    Nexus 7 lifespan

    I'd phrase the expected lifespan slightly differently, but otherwise agree totally with the previous post. I'd say you'd be fortunate to get more than 4 years from it (-ie- IMO you'd not have any realistic right to redress after 4 years, but may have some up to that point). If you say they...

    £1500 tops for a used car

    Hi, I recently bought a Skoda Octavia 1.9TDi for exactly that amount with one years road tax, one years MOT and a full main dealer service history. Skoda is, as you probably know, part of the VW/Audi/Seat group now, so the cars are exceedingly well put together. I average around 40ish mpg on...

    Would ridesharing bring true financial benefits?

    I guess it depends on your finances too. £40 to us would be a huge amount of extra money each week, almost a life changing amount. :)

    Tag Watch repair

    Hi, You may not like what I'm about to say, but if there is a "small" fault with it after four years and they're prepared to make a contribution, it is worth considering. It may, if you wish, be worth trying to get something out of TAG themselves but your contract is not with them. A 10%...

    help please

    I cannot see any reason why you should provide a refund if the item is working properly and is as you described it in the advert. However, your wording in your first post states you said if they had 'any problems' they could return the goods for a refund. They obviously have problems, even...

    Which option did you take to become an instructor and what was specified in the T&C's about not completing the course?

    help please

    If it is working fine, can you not show her it working properly? I assume she would still want it if it wasn't cross threaded.

    FCA: Credit cards can encourage debt

    I'd go along with that I think. It is still not hard to get credit, and the problem seems to be the ability while with a decent credit record to get as many cards as you want. I know it is the cardholder's responsibility to use them sensibly, but the temptation to spend beyond any means of...

    What was the wording of your advertisement? Sorry - I have to pad this out now to meet the minimum 100 character message required.

    talk talk

    Is this issue still ongoing? I have succeeded in stopping Talk Talk canvassing our street now as I simply follow them down the road and when anyone answers the door, I tell them to avoid Talk Talk like the plague as they're totally useless. After a few times of doing this they have stopped...

    Motor insurance rip off.Marks & Spencer.

    Sadly this isn't a rip off in law terms. Insurance companies vary enormously in price as they each have their own niche markets which they target. Any price comparison site will show this well. Some specialise in young drivers, others previously banned drivers, learners, motability, over 50's...

    Which is cheaper!!!

    It's worth popping into the shops just before they close as fresh produce and items on or near their use by / best before date may well be reduced. I have read recently of someone paying about £7.50 for goods worth about £70ish. That's quite a saving!:)

    Camera repair

    I agree totally. I would tell the shop you are going to do this on dd/mm/yyyy if they have not paid Canon by that date. If they don't meet the deadline, go ahead and pursue them for a CCJ, enforced if over £600 by a HCEO who will, I suspect, get your money rather swiftly if it is a camera shop...
