A few of this week's top threads
Here's a selection of what caught our eye recently:
One Forumite is looking for recipes which don't need loads of obscure ingredients
Thanks to MSE’s student loan overpayments guide, my son got £400 back.
I bought my dream car but now I’ve got a massive bill for repairs.
After 5 years, my provider has sent me a ‘final bill’ for £0.00.
Help me find tasty MoneySaving recipes that use five ingredients or fewer.
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.
Is it OK if I choose to sell something to a woman rather than a man?
I've £100 worth of laminate flooring that I've put up for sale online cheaply to get rid of. As the buyer will have to collect, and I'm a woman who lives alone, I've been reluctant to accept any of the offers I've had as they're all from men. I said to a friend that I hoped a woman would make an offer, even if it was lower, as I'd feel safer dealing with them, but my friend said that's unfair and I should sell to the first person who offered the asking price. Should I wait for an offer from someone I'm comfortable giving my address to or do as my friend says?
