A few of this week's top threads

Here's a selection of what caught our eye recently:

• A new GreenFly thread with weekly tasks to help you tame your garden

• How can I deal with the mice that have taken over my garage?

• What are the pros and cons of the Motability scheme?

• Is it possible to recycle old software CDs?

• Why is there a 14-day cooling-off period if you join the National Trust for Scotland, but not the English equivalent?

What can Forumite Eowyn1 do with the obsolete software discs they've found?

• Help me choose a heated towel rail that won't go rusty

• Induction hobs: how flexible are they?

• This Forumite had quite literally lost their marbles

• Why are there no signs of life in my autumn fruiting raspberries?

• Food for the deer is proving too dear

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.

See what our MSE Forumites had to say and add your own thoughts on the Money Moral Dilemma discussion thread. Do please stick to the MSE Forum rules: keep it kind and keep it clean. Remember, there's a real person behind every dilemma.

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

Photo of the week

Please note: We love seeing your photos in the MSE Forum, but if you're uploading one, make sure it doesn't include any personally-identifiable information such as your face or address.
