Did you see the new top of the tip this week.

If you did you would've got one of two versions, as some in-boxes take out a bit of the formatting.

1. White writing on the orange bar at the top, simply plain white on orange
ii. White writing with an outline, looking nice and designed, with a bit of a shadow outline.

Which did you get. Can you vote so we can see who's getting what.

And what did you think of it

    I've voted for number 2 (hope that's right!)

    The top bar has a white background, with Martin's Money Tips Email in a redish colour. The lower bit has an orange background with https://www.moneysavingexpert.com in white writing with an outline, looking nice and designed, with a bit of a shadow outline. With the Free to use bit in yellow underneath.

    It's definatley a bit different to what was there before I noticed that straight away.
