    [Help] Carpenter/builder advice please - creaky stairs

    Unlikely that you will completely get rid of all noise without completely replacing them. Had our 30s house stairs looked at by a carpenter and some of the noise was back within a few months

    [Finance] Payday loans.

    [Finance] Does earning 100k a year make you feel well off these days?

    TL;DR: If you are boringly sensible and don't increase your expenditure to match your salary, you should feel pretty comfortable, maybe verging on rich on 100k. After the minimum pension contributions for auto enrollment, the take home pay on £100k is £5600 per month for a single earner and...

    [NSC] How much do you spend on SUNGLASSES ?

    Bought a transition prescription pair of these for over £300 a couple of years ago and then broke a lens on a run, they wanted £250 to provide a replacement lens so I got the super glue out instead...
