Can't Do Anymore
Does anyone feel like nothing is done for the typical middle class working family? I don't think we could cut back anymore - we have tried every gadget, buying blankets, hot water bottles and applying layers. The only time we put the heating on is when we are trying to dry our clothes. We bought an airfryer for our meals…

M&S Christmas Advert
Am I alone in considering the M&S Christmas/Xmas (depending upon your view) incredibly crass and insulting to a significant proportion of the population who are struggling financially at this point in the year.

Some thoughts on the AA
From James Coney in the Sunday Times: "This is my last column as your Money editor — here are some of my main takeaways ... ... 6.

I checked that the B&Q voucher is usable on online - I am disabled and in-store…

It has come to my attention in the financial section of the MoS (The Reader's Champion), that the chairman of Which? is also the head of an advisory group connected through a complex group of companies with a private parking company which issues penalties and demands unscrupulously, (allegedly).
