A few of this week's top threads
A few useful or diverting discussions that caught our eye this week:
I’m starting 2023 mortgage free! What should I add to my post-mortgage checklist?
My front door won’t open. Any ideas before I call a locksmith?
Who's liable for dog/tripping-related accidents in pubs?
Ask An Expert: Scams
Following November's deals-themed event, the MSE Forum Ask An Expert returns, this time focussed on scams. You'll be able to post your questions for MSE Katie, our Campaigns Lead and in-house scams expert.
Katie has a wealth of experience working with channels of power to fight the consumer's corner. An important part of that is her work on scams, whether that's putting pressure on regulators and politicians to better protect consumers from scam ads, keeping abreast of new types of scam or dispensing tips and warnings to MoneySavers.
Keep an eye on the MSE Forum to find out when we'll be opening the board to questions.
Money Moral Dilemma
Every week, the Money Tips email features a real-life Money Moral Dilemma (MMD for short). They're intended to encourage debate and, as such, they're usually among the most discussed threads each week.
Should I pay less after my friends gave me a worse room at our New Year's getaway?
Some friends and I booked to stay in a nice house over New Year's, with me the only single person going. At the last minute, another couple joined us, and it was decided that they'd get my double room overlooking a lake as they're a couple, and I'd sleep on the sofa bed in the TV room as I'm single. I didn't want to kick off about it and spoil the stay, and I did have a good time, but since then no one has mentioned compensating me for not getting the room I paid for. Should I say something?
You can find out what our MSE Forumites think and add your own two cents on the Money Moral Dilemma discussion thread. Heed the MSE Forum rules: keep it kind and keep it clean. Remember, there's a real person behind every Money Moral Dilemma.

Latest comping wins
One of our busiest sections, the Competitions Time board is where compers come to find and share competitions. There are always plenty of success stories. 2023 is shaping up to be an auspicious year for many compers. For example, this week, huxleypig won Leona Lewis concert tickets, bubbleyboo won a cool £250, girl_upnorth scored a £200 voucher and Trifolium won a luxury hotel stay in Wales including a five-course tasting menu.
