A few of this week's top threads

A few useful or diverting discussions that caught our eye this week: 

• Ring doorbells are making things difficult for Secret Santa 

• I sent stamps to the Royal Mail swap-out scheme but they’ve declared them to be fakes 

• I was surprised to receive a French speeding ticket in the post – the name and car aren’t mine

• I’m so terrible with money it almost ended my marriage. Is financial counselling a thing?

• What’s this weird appendage on the side of my German bathtub?

Any ideas about this MSE Forumite's bathtub bit?

• I ordered a phone from Amazon but all I received was a small bottle of sun lotion

• Boots didn’t send my free gift with my perfume purchase – what are my rights?

• My sister’s asked to borrow a couple of grand. She’s always lived beyond her means. What should I do?

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.

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.

Got a Money Moral Dilemma of your own? Email us at MMD@moneysavingexpert.com and it could be featured.

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. This week, AC55 won a Feather & Down sleep set including pillow spray.
