AT A GLANCE BEST BUYS

THIS WEEK'S POLL Do you have a will? If not, why not? A will is a legal document telling everyone what should happen to your money, possessions and property when you die. As we say in the note above, it's currently Free Wills Month (which allows those aged 55+ to get a solicitor-drafted will for free), so we want to know how many of you already have a will. Vote in this week's poll. Half of MoneySavers haven't made a call on their home landline in over a year. Over 15,000 of you responded to our last poll asking how often you use your landline. Of those with a landline, 37% had made a call in the last week, but 26% last did so over a year ago and a further 23% said they'd never used it. Younger MoneySavers were more likely to have ditched the landline altogether - 42% of under-35s said they didn't have one plugged in, compared with just 4% of over-65s. See our full landline poll results. |

MONEY MORAL DILEMMA Should I ask the bride-to-be for my money back? I paid £150 towards a hen weekend away but the bride-to-be has now decided to have the hen do in her garden instead. Originally she told us she'd return the money, but has now said she's put it towards the cost of the garden party instead. Yet while I don't mind paying £30 or so towards it, I feel more than that is unfair. Enter the Money Moral Maze: Should I ask the bride-to-be for money back? | Suggest a Money Moral Dilemma |

BACON SARNIES AND TEA, £20 OR A CRATE OF BEER... SHOULD YOU TIP YOUR BUILDERS? That's all for this week, but before we go... One MSE Forumite asked if people generally tip builders after they've completed a job, as they weren't sure of the etiquette. Many responded to say yes, you should tip if you were happy with the job - and £20 per person seemed to be the consensus. Some suggested giving gifts, such as a crate of beer or bottle of fizz, instead of cash. However, others thought keeping builders supplied with tea and bacon sarnies should be tip enough. Read the full debate and share your own opinion in the Should I tip my builders? MSE Forum discussion. |
