Alternative to Roboform
I have used Roboform for many years for competitions etc & previously loved how it worked.

Money Moral Dilemma: Should I complain about a prize that's worth less than was advertised?
This week's MoneySaver who wants advice asks... I was lucky enough to win a gas barbecue worth £400, along with some food to go with it, in an online competition.

Giving holiday (and other prizes) to family.
There are lots of holidays and trips for families. I live alone but would love to be able to give them to my son and his family.
