Still no texts… but the MSF got 7.

20 March 2008

If you read my why does no one text me? blog, you’ll know that these days after I’ve been on TV I don’t get any texts from friends or family.

Rather bizarrely this week, the MSF appeared on It Pays To Watch in a package about mobiles. As soon as she finished she got SEVEN, yes SEVEN texts and I didn’t get one. This really is rather silly; it’s MY programme after all…

Even my less-than-subtle mention of how to get free texts from your mobile in the MoneySaving news didn’t make any difference. Hmpff.

Update Note: 12/12/2017. I wrote this blog just before November’s base rate rise, predicting then UK rates would rise and Santander 123 wouldn’t follow. Well UK rates did rise, and Santander’s confirmed it won’t follow. So everything below still stands. Some of the alternative accounts and rates have shifted slightly, but most are pretty similar – just click...
Are student loans broken? What I told Uni Minister Jo Johnson

6 October 2017

If you read the papers you’d think the answer is a clear cut yes. I too agree, to an extent. Yet the most commonly quoted problems tend not to be what worries me most, and the things least mentioned can hurt. On Tuesday, MSE organised an event at the Tory party conference, where I debated this subject...
Have you been Plevined? A new rule means just having had PPI means you are due money

14 September 2017

Have you been Plevined? I ask that question in the almost certain knowledge that most people reading this won’t have a clue what I’m on about. Yet the answer is YES for millions, and if so that means you’re owed big money. At the end of August, the financial regulator the Financial Conduct Authority launched a two-year...
