What an excellent idea. Recycle your old phones for cash!
I had three of them lying around and I thought I’d see who offered the best deal.
I started with the two most advertised options because I’ve been brainwashed into thinking everything I see on television is true.
But then thanks to Google and competitive advertising I came across [...]

Have you ever driven past a car broken down by the side of the road with the bonnet up and a rather flustered person looking into the engine?
The answer to this question is most likely to be yes.
Now think back to the last time you saw someone broken down and try to remember what your [...]

I had a call from a company recently because my Sky TV 12 month warranty was due for renewal.
The call wasn’t from Sky but a 3rd party company offering ‘repair or replace’ cover for the Sky equipment.
I listened to the call and absorbed the information and by the end of the call I was happy [...]

The heading of this post may lead you to think it will be about the various offers and deals available from BT.
But it’s not. It’s about one particular offer seemingly available on BT’s own online Terms and Conditions but peculiarly unobtainable.

What is the point of calling a freephone number if it isn’t free?
0800 numbers have forever and ever been known as freephone numbers that are as the name suggests, free to call.

There is a way [...]

Recently eggs have increased in price in some supermarkets and I initially had some difficulty understanding why.

PIN money’s great isn’t it? That surplus bit of money you have each month you know you could quite happily fritter away on needless expenses, just because you can.
As long as the bills are paid the rest is the hard earned cash that makes it all worth while and we use it to enjoy ourselves.
But sometimes, [...]

I recently paid £5 for something I could have bought for £2 but the alternative could have cost as much as £25.
Anyone who uses Nokia mobile phones will know that several months ago Nokia changed the size of the charger adapter plug.
Not so bad because you are usually supplied a new adapter with each new [...]

About 3 months ago I was called by British Gas and having a few minutes of free time I listened to what was said.
Everything made sense and I could see a definite saving so I agreed to switch from Southern Electric to British Gas.
I did what was asked of me, signed what I needed to [...]

Looking around at various other personal finance blogs I’ve seen many entries about food which is, although sometimes taken for granted, something that we all spend a lot of money on during our lives.
Food is also not only fundamental for survival but it is also responsible for the way we feel. A good healthy balanced diet is [...]
