Yeah great news, thanks so much

blimey! take it that was the 2 year fix ?

M&S do baked beans at 50p a can. Bread for 80p and eggs for £1.25 can't go wrong.
The other stuff is quite expensive though. But you get what you pay for.

Is this an M&S Outlet? We get eggs from M&S - those white ones - and I think they're a touch more than £1.25!! Mrs Ewing does like the crispy duck legs, though!

How do chickens know how to lay an M&S egg?

That’s a big jump. This will start to have a major impact over the next 12 months on spending for all those having to renegotiate on deals.

I don’t think the full effect has been seen yet.

$16? Pah! We have subsidized petrol over here. Never paid more than 8 quid for a full tank.

Beer costs a fucking fortune though. Proper London prices.

Its sickening

We ported ours 3 years ago when we moved but couldn’t quite get both to match up. So only one part increased this time, and we have the other part due in 2 years. Dreading What it will be like in 2 years when that goes up

I think rates will be lower by then. Not as low as they were but a fair bit lower than they are now.

They more than likely don't. They just sell them in there store.

That was definitely the consensus these last few months - will be interesting to see if that holds up

They don't it's all a big con. They go the supermarket and we buy them.

My sister told me that her new mortgage payment will be £2,700 pm from March. Made my eyes water!!!

She bought the house for about £430k during early COVID (to be fair it's worth about £75k more now) which seemed a good deal at the time...

I think they can manage but it seems a lot and so many people must be in the same boat where it becomes unsustainable for them.
