Ulsterbank personal finance 2008-05-10 09:14:57 One of the best current credit card deals comes from Ulsterbank personal finance
services. The Northern Irish bank, which these days is under the umbrella of the rather beleaguered Royal Bank of Scotland group, is offering 0% on balance transfers and purchases for the first six months on its Visa and [...]
Dixons voucher codes … cheap electricals 2008-05-12 17:05:56 There are some very enticing voucher codes doing the rounds from Dixons just now. Dixons, one of the UK’s electrical giants, is already pretty good on price of course (indeed its online tag these days is ‘Low priced electricals’ so they’re not exactly dressing things up.
These Dixons voucher codes can net [...]
Cheapest gas & electricity prices … compare gas electric prices 2008-05-12 09:07:06 The announcement by Centrica, parent of British Gas, of a surge in wholesale gas prices means yet more bad news for the beleaguered UK consumer. But the sheer size of the coming hike is coming to come as the real shock. It makes it more important than ever to track down the cheapest gas & [...] Read more:electricity
Gardening Direct voucher codes and discount codes 2008-05-14 11:17:13 A very nice little number for Gardening Direct
voucher codes and discounts has caught my eye. I hesitate to say that summer’s arrived … living in Britain it’s usually the cue for hailstones in June and freezing fog in August. But, hard to believe given that we were throwing snowballs on the common just a [...]
What does stagflation mean? 2008-05-14 10:48:18 It’s a word I haven’t come across much since ‘A’ Level economics many moons ago. But money journalists have been blowing the dust off their financial disctionaries and digging out a word which was last doing the rounds in the 1970s … the dog days of the UK economy, before Margaret Thatcher (for good or [...]
Littlewoods Direct voucher code 2008-05-13 10:51:10 Littlewoods Direct
is one of the UK’s biggest online retailers of big brand names (nearly showed our age by writing ‘mail order companies’ there) and the venerable retailer is particularly strong on electricals, homeware and clothing (you’ll have seen Trinny and Susannah in the TV ads). The products are very well priced and you can [...]

Free phone calls on the internet 2008-05-13 09:37:53 If you still haven’t explored VOIP phone
technology, then you’re missing a trick. VOIP means making free phone calls
over the web and it WILL SAVE YOU A FORTUNE. IT can be used PC to PC, PC to phone, or even phone to phone (though the calls are still always via the internet). And it’s [...]
How to get free flights 2008-05-13 09:35:27 Why not get free flights
to your free hotel room. If you’re a big credit card user, then check out the various cards from British Airways, Virgin Atlantic and the like. I’ve sung the praises of reward credit cards before - providing you pay off your balance each month so don’t end up paying interest. [...]
Free hotel rooms 2008-05-13 09:33:56 Perhaps all this money saving is tiring you out and you need a break. Then snap up a free hotel room! Every day all over the world, hotel rooms stand empty - and of course they can’t sell that empty room tomorrow. Hoteliers would generally rather have a body in there than not - it [...]
Get free stuff online 2008-05-13 09:32:44 There are lots of websites pointing you to free stuff
now, with many companies using online
signups as a way to get information about new customers. The freebies change every day - one day free catfood, the next free mobile phone calls, so it pays to check on a daily basis. Beware that this CAN [...]
Garmin Forerunner 405 discount code 2008-05-16 02:05:25 Gone are the days when going for a run meant chucking on a pair of Green Flash trainers and running until you were sick (yes those school cross country competitions have etched a deep scar in my psyche). It’s now all about using the technology and it doesn’t get much more state of the art [...] Read more:Garmin

Voucher codes for Father’s Day gifts 2008-05-15 16:31:45 Okay, so we’re hinting, but this year it would be nice to get something more for Father
’s Day than just a belated cup of tea in bed. Buyagift has some very nice ideas for Father’s Day and you can get 10 per cent off at checkout by entering the code fdaff, when [...] Read more:Voucher
Earn money for taking drugs 2008-05-15 10:49:30 Could this be the ultimate student dream. Poring through the small ads in the London Evening Standard today (well you can’t spend all your time reading the financial pages can you) I come across a box screaming ‘Ecstasy Research … participants required’. Intrigued, I read on to find that the University of East London will [...]
NICE … non-inflationary consistent expansion 2008-05-16 03:55:13 When Bank of England Governor Mervyn King referred to the end of ‘the NICE decade’ this week he was referring to more than just the good times being behind us. ‘Nice’ is one of those handy little acronyms economists coin … in this case referring to the period of ‘non-inflationary, constant expansion‘ [...]
Allposters.co.uk voucher code 2008-05-18 17:22:18 An absolute top deal on the table just now from allposters.co.uk, but you’ll have to be quick to take advantage. The poster website is currently offering 25 per cent off prices at the checkout when you enter the Allposters.co.uk voucher code BOCA as you pay for your goods. I would caution that this Allposters voucher [...]

50 ways to save money 2008-05-20 09:51:15 Times are tight and money’s tighter. But you don’t have to earn more to make ends meet … try spending less first. This week, with a major gulp for breath, I give you my top 50 ways to cut your spending.
Shop in LIDL, Netto or Primark … for many of the basics they’re just as [...]
Price your house realistically 2008-05-20 09:28:56 Price realistically. There are lots of houses that have been sitting on the market for a year or more. Some people drop prices gradually and grudgingly, but once a property goes stale it can be hard to reawaken interest. Don’t slit your own throat but don’t be greedy - make your house the one that [...]
Group viewings 2008-05-20 09:28:05 When selling your house arrange group viewings. This gets tougher when interest is low (like now), but if you can get a block of people viewing on a Saturday morning, then you can create a buzz. Creating an atmosphere of interest can be a powerful prod to people to get in before the competition does.

How to sell your house during a recession 2008-05-20 09:27:09 Paint it, spruce it up to the nines, even consider moving the family out while viewings are going on. I look around a lot of houses and most vendors just DON’T present their properties well. The old tricks of putting a pot of fresh coffee on and placing fresh flowers may sound corny - but [...]
Asos voucher codes 2008-05-22 07:07:45 Asos is one of the growing breed of value online clothes retailers, offering designer brands at much reduced prices. The smart way to use these websites (because you can’t try clothes on online can you) is to go to a high street store, get your fit and size, and then go to Asos or whoever [...]
The return of gazundering 2008-05-22 05:44:37 2008 has been a vintage year for dinosaur words emerging behemoth-like from the depths of financial prehistory. Of course these aren’t the sort of monsters anyone really wanted to see again. First we had stagflation and now the dread return of gazundering, which most of us haven’t seen since the most bearish of UK residential [...]
Follow up on Whitney UK property seminars 2008-05-21 10:56:16 You’ll remember we commented on the collapse of Inside Track a couple of weeks back, in the course of which I also mentioned Whitney
UK, which runs courses educating Britons in how to profit from property
. The post prompted a flurry of responses, including one telling me I was being brave after the event, [...]
Cheap Stella Artois at Morrisons 2008-05-21 06:12:07 I’m not a big drinker myself, recent heroic boozing episodes include having a half glass of champagne at my son’s birthday party and having to retire to sleep it off (and there’s no way you should be going to bed before the six year olds is there). But I understand that for many of you [...] Read more:Cheap

Virgin wine code vouchers and discounts 2008-05-21 02:04:05 Richard Branson’s Virgin
seem to get their fingers into just about every business at some point. We’ll say nothing about the service on the West Coast mainline, but one we really like is Virgin Wines, and these Virgin wine code vouchers and discounts make it even more attractive. A terrific selection, very good value [...]
Finding cheaper petrol 2008-05-23 05:01:41 The news on petrol prices doesn’t get any better for UK drivers, making it more important than ever to shop around, something we’re not really used to doing, rather responding to the fuel gauge than anticipating where we’re going to buy. Buy as I’ve written before it’s well worth putting a little research into finding [...]
Voucher code for free Asda deliveries 2008-05-23 02:56:36 In response to criticisms that we’ve gone booze crazy in the last week or so (something to do with those voucher codes for Stella Artois and Virgin Wine) I’m pleased to put something more wholesome on your plate today. This voucher code for free Asda deliveries is, I reckon rather special (especially if you’ve got [...] Read more:Voucher
More people pay top rate tax 2008-05-25 06:45:45 The kerfuffle over the 10p tax rate led Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling to pretty much make tax and fiscal policy on the fly. As evidenced by the £2bn borrowing to repay the lowest earners in the land, things are something of a mess. But there’s also been an unwelcome knock-on effect for higher rate [...] Read more:people
