    I also got 8/10, messed up the boxes one as I read the question wrong and went for the best deal, the other one I got wrong was the Airline Pilot.

    Merry Christmas everyone

    It was tougher than I thought it would be - really had to stretch the grey cells hard on one or two, but dead chuffed that I got 9/10!

    5/10 .... got the job insurance one wrong and loyalty points (but i never shop in boots!) and railcard (rarely get train anywhere!) and messed a few more up ...... darn ....

    Still the OH only got 4/10, so I am still in control on the financial reins apparently :)

    Thanks, enjoyed that. Annoyed I only got 7 out of ten, but I don't shop in Boots or use trains. I'm amazed about the brand down-shifting savings, though.

    I got 6/10. The ones I got wrong were the insurance one, the train one (no idea), the downshift and the credit card (didn't have time to do the calculations for that one :o ).

    Very good, thanks! :T

    Oh dear! Only 3/10 - but I only take notice of information that affects my lifestyle - so like another poster, if it had been on bargains in food, clothing, etc. I would have scored much better - I think! :o
    Thanks, Martin:; it was a good quiz and well worth trying, 'cos now I'm better heducated!!!
    Happy Christmas to you and yours!

    I got 6/10. I'm happy with that I guess :D

    I got question the following wrong:
    2 (they all looked the same to me :rotfl: )
    7 (my fault really, didn't read the question properly)
    8 (I totally guessed this!)
    9 (again I kind of guessed this)

    Great quiz, thanks :D
    :heart: Think happy & you'll be happy :heart:
