An expensive month this one! Not only do I have my wife’s birthday to think about it, it’s also mine. Chuck in a trip to see Killing Joke play (an old punky type metal band) and it’s all adding up to a tricky month to financially navigate. A couple of quiet weekends required I’m reckoning. [...]

So, it’s that time of the year. February’s a bit of a funny time of year. It’s normally freezing, and the weather wizard hasn’t disappointed on that front. It’s normally a shorter month, so less time to wait for payday, but as it’s a cheeky leap year, even that doesn’t really count. Anyway, I’ll stop [...]

16 October 2011
I’d decided that I was going to try my hand at a bit of this PPI reclaiming lark, and to start this task, I thought I’d try and reclaim some money for a credit card I had with Nationwide. There were some challenges I had to overcome.

12 October 2011
I’m going to say something controversial now. I think its okay to get some things on credit. I don’t necessarily mean credit cards, or applying for loans with upsetting rates of interest. I just mean I am comfortable with having the item now, and paying for it a bit later.

9 October 2011
