Hi guys,

I'm hoping to pass in October. I'm looking for a car with really good boot space as my top priority. Other things I'd want preferably are good milage, good miles per gallon, decent insurance. I'm a 30 year old woman. What kind of insurance price should I expect to budget for?

I know nothing about cars. Are there any good online resources where I can begin to learn what I need to know before I buy?

Looking at second hand, max budget around £15k. Auto transmission.

Hi all!

Hopefully, I will be getting my car licence in October and looking for recommendations for cars that will fit my partners Quickie Nitrum, plus a buggy, plus a car seat (so folding down the back seats isn't an option). I would appreciate any recommendations.

Boot space is genuinely my only requirement - pretty flexible on anything else.

Thanks in advance!

Hey guys,

My partner has a hemipelvectomy amputation and has also just had his meniscus and ACL reconstructed on his remaining leg. He's struggling to see any progress and has lost a lot of his independence because he's only been able to use his wheelchair instead of crutches as well. He doesn't have his prosthetic yet.

Has anyone else been in a similar position? What was your progress like? He's comparing himself to people who have had the same surgery but have two legs to rely on; and he's really getting him down.

Hi all,

​

I have no idea how this has happened, but i have a patch of extremely dry hair that has broken after about 2 inches. The rest of my hair is past my shoulders.

​

It's really rough and dry, so I'm assuming it's burnt off because of my hair dryer/heat use. Anyway, I've sworn off heat now, and I need to change my haircare routine ASAP to help remedy further loss... I currently use aldi shampoo/conditioner and straighten/dry my hair daily... i know, I know.

​

My hair is naturally curly and quite fine. It thinned quite badly last year when I was going through a rough time but has started to thicken up.

​

I'm in need of curly hair recommendations for UK products and protective hairstyles. Price isn't really an issue; I'm freaking out about losing my hair and honestly don't care how much it costs to help fix.

​

Thanks in advance

​

Edit: I work nightshift in a busy ED, but it's the kind of job where no one cares about how my hair looks. Could I use a mask on my hair whilst I'm at work? Should I wear a scrub hat to protect it? It just needs to be off the collar.

Hi all,

I've just had letters from both Lloyd's and Halifax, stating they're closing my current accounts in the next 65 days. My debt is with Halifax credit card and my Lloyd's overdraft. I'm paying off both through stepchange and have been since January.

I've been assured by Halifax that closing my account is normal procedure, but I didn't realise it would be my current account with them (0 debt), as well as my Lloyd's current account (it's an arranged overdraft).

So far, I've opened another current account with thinkmoney to make sure I have somewhere where my wages can go if these current accounts do indeed close, and I've contacted stepchange for further advice.

I suppose it'll be nice to have all my debts in one place and not have to worry about further fees, but I'm anxious. Is there anything else I can/should do to make life easier?

The debt is about £4500, and my wages vary hugely. I'm a full-time carer for my partner, but I work on the nursing bank when I can. On average, I take home around £1200 and my current stepchange repayment fee is £80.

To summarise:

Is there anything I can do to make life easier when my accounts close?

I would also appreciate any budgeting tips massively.

Thanks in advance
