A few of this week's top threads

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

Boy holding Magic: The Gathering cards

One Forumite has acquired a big stash of Magic: The Gathering cards but isn't sure if they're worth anything

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.

Friends cancelled our reunion at short notice - should they pay for my hotel?

Last year, a group of friends I'd lost touch with arranged a get-together with me. We decided to do it again this year, agreed the dates and location, and said we'd book our own accommodation. Three weeks before, however, they pulled out - this left me extremely sad for the lost friendships and because no one had told me earlier. I'm now left with an expensive hotel booking I don't need and can't cancel. Should I ask the rest of the group to foot my bill?

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

Twopenny's snap of seals enjoying the Devon coastline has to be the best picture of the week, and a reminder that there are plenty of amazing sights to see around the UK simply by taking a walk ... what could be more MoneySaving than that?

Your two cents

Many of us are turning our thoughts to summer travel plans, and we'd like to know what little MoneySaving things you do to prepare for spending time away from home, whether that's visiting family in the UK or an exotic holiday.
