A question about : Should parents be allowed to take kids out of school for a holiday?

Poll started 21 Jan 2014

Last week, a couple were fined for taking their children on a term-time family holiday without the school’s permission. Headteachers can grant leave in exceptional circumstances, but it’s unlikely for a holiday and holiday prices soar in school holidays. Should term-time holidays be allowed?

Should parents be allowed to take their kids on holidays during term-time? Which of the options in this week's poll is CLOSEST to your view?

Poll started 8 May 2012, click here to vote

A question about : Which are the best daily deals sites?

Poll started 24 Feb 2014

Daily deals sites work by selling you a voucher, which you then exchange with a merchant for a product or service. They were popular when they first launched, but now many complain of email overload, sub-par deals and redemption problems.

Please ONLY rate the daily deals sites you’ve used and do let us know in this discussion thread if we've missed any big ones.

A question about : Money Moral Dilemma: Should I help my smoker partner save money on cigarettes?

I'm a non-smoker but my partner smokes around 20 a day which I don't like. Sometimes he spends more than he needs to buying them in an expensive shop when I know somewhere I can buy them cheaper. Should I buy them to save money? Or refuse on principle?
