Money Stuff

After a few recommendations from our friends Villheim, Deborah and Little Katie I have finally got round round to visiting Martin Lewis' Money Saving Expert site. It's really good!

The guy spends all his time finding out good deals that protect consumers from unnecessary costs - like paying too much council tax, or not receiving benefits that you might be entitled to. He is also currently recommending practical stuff like freeware antivirus and spam filters as well as a host of other stuff.

Other bits and bobs I've read that he focuses on are credit cards (how not to get screwed over), bank charges (ditto), free gifts and vouchers (making the most of them), & mortgage stuff.

So, if you're a grown up and you are interested in these kinds of things (sorry that this blog is slightly boring/practical) I can only say that I'm just having a look around the site and it's great - I thought I'd let you know in case you wanted to check it out...

A return and some flowers

I have had a brief soiree into the real world hence my lack of blogging for the past 20 days. I wanted to show something by way of an apology so I am giving you, my readership (i.e. myself, when I look at this next week) a lovely bunch of roses.

Well, the truth is I bought these for Chell because I messed up this weekend and didn't call her. There wasn't any excuse for it so I felt I needed to buy her a nice treat - a pretty bunch of flowers did the trick and I was back in the good books (and back into her top 5 - just beneath Ricky Gervais in the rankings - yes, she's that strange).

Anyway, what with everything and nothing to report I think I will sign off. Probably meant to be doing something like rehearsing with Electralyte anyway! Blessings!
