    Car costs can put your finances in a jam, but our tips will give you a steer
  3. Cheapest 2.8% loans disappearing
    Only borrow if it's needed and affordable

    Newbies Full Break down cover for £54 is misleading as the price is from £54. The cost for me was £75

    Ouch... and presumably it's also a stock photo that MSE has bought given that it's a left hand drive car!!

  • We fancied visiting the Eden Project mentioned in latest MSE email about the 2 for1 entry card included in the May Gardeners' World magazine.  Alas, having bought it, I can't find the Eden Project amongst any of the listed gardens taking part in the scheme.  Oh dear.  Was the MSE information wrong?

    Hi lexmarshall, unfortunately you're correct, the Eden Project isn't included in the 2for1 offer this year. We checked with our Gardeners' World contact at its press agency before publication to confirm that it was included and were told yes, but frustratingly they've since been in touch to say the info they were given was an error. We've amended this on the site but we weren't alerted to it until after our weekly tips email had been sent.
