    We have an Ebac which has a drying clothes feature with a senor, so will go into standby once the clothes are dry. https://www.ebac.com/dehumidifiers/range

    Who doesn't own a property?

    In 2008 we moved from Epsom, Surrey to Berkshire in order to enable us to buy a house. We love it here as it has great schools, low crime and I have a better commute to the City for work. It's worth looking further afield if your circumstances allow.

    Do you save money every month?

    It all depends on your appetite for risk, my ISA is not doing too good at the moment, but I know I probably won’t need that cash in the near to medium term as we're not over leveraged. If one of us was to lose our job, we could run the house for a couple of months without going into savings. If...

    Do you save money every month?

    I'm married with 2 kids and a mortgage. I have 6 months’ worth of salary invested in stocks and shares ISA and 2 months’ salary in premium bonds. Wife and I both have workplace pensions, and we pay in to trust funds for the kids monthly. Now we have this buffer, we don't intentionally save...

    Dog owners - carpet

    We renovated our sitting room and treated ourselves to a hand built Italian sofa and expensive carpet. The wife decided we needed a dog and the sofa is now covered with throws and carpet ruined :) Still love the dog though.

    Starting with a new employer after long tenure with previous job

    19 months ago, I started a role at a new company after 10 years service at my previous employer. I went through all the emotions you mentioned, so I'd say it's perfectly normal. Once you get a handle on the new processes and systems, your confidence will grow.

    10 + years of Administration want a change - IT?

    Not strictly true, I've not done a single exam since my Windows Server 2000 MCP back in 2000. This got me a foot in the door doing desktop/server support. I've since progressed to a senior IT architect at a global bank, before that I worked at LogicaCMG (now CGI) in their Space & Defence...

    I bought this last week and love it, BUT it is heavy and battery life doesn't appear to be great. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/hp-omen-17-cb0006na-nvidia-rtx-2070-16gb-17.3-ips-144hz-g-sync-intel-i7-9750h-gaming-laptop-lt-045-hp.html I think it offers good value for money.
