We were just having a discussion in MoneySaving Towers…. My wonderful grandmother has never used the internet and very much struggles to understand ‘what I do’? So how do you succinctly and easily describe the internet to someone who has never used a computer? Suggestions welcome, we struggled.
How do you describe a website to someone who’s never used it?

New Crisp Flavour hits the spot…
31 December 2008![]()
After MoneySaving, crisps are a serious contender in my priorities list. Regulars will remember the favourite crisp flavours poll (which disgracefully saw MoneySavers favouring cheese and onion over the glory that is salt and vinegar) and my recent blog about trying to save tangy twiglets. Well fellow crisp lovers; I have some exciting news for you. On... -
I’m very proud the MSG’s agreed to become the MSF
31 December 2008![]()
Just a little personal note. Over the Christmas period, I surprised the MSG by proposing via a Scrabble set on the top of Table Mountain at sunset (setting up the letters took a lot of pre-planning). And I’m more than delighted to say, she said yes and has become the MSF. Comment and Discuss P.S. Here’s the... -
Barclays adverts make me want to growl!
17 December 2007![]()
Have you seen the bright blue full page adverts in the press for Barclays products? They make me growl; I’m quite staggered that it has the chutzpah to do it. Today’s advert: “A GREAT HOME FOR YOUR SAVINGS Day to day savings account 4.26% AER” Can you believe it is advertising and boasting about a rate of... -
Good on you Rhydian; well done for explaining the real cost of talent show democratization
17 December 2007![]()
I love X-factor & never miss an episode. The MSG & I watched every second on both ITV1 and ITV2 on Saturday night and stayed in to watch the final with great excitement. The moment was deadened for us, with a travesty of a result which saw the back story beat the brilliance. My admiration for Rhydian’s...

Martin Lewis: Is it time to ban unnecessary Christmas presents?
5 December 2022![]()
Update September 2017: It’s eight years since I first braved this subject, expecting a snowstorm of protest. Instead, year after year more join in, like Julia who recently tweeted me, “@MartinSLewis, finally took your advice and told my family I can’t afford Christmas presents. What a weight off my mind. Thank you.” One year even the Archbishop of... -
Martin Lewis: The one thing everyone aged over 66 needs to know
29 November 2022![]()
It is a national tragedy that getting on for a million pensioners, many of whom have been paying into the system for years, are missing out on a critical boost to their income. It's called pension credit, and this year it also means you get an extra £650 to help with energy bills.
