The secret life of a MoneySavingExpert! What do I actually do in a week…
Last week, as I was leaving Good Morning Britain at 8:15am, one of the autograph hunters outside (waiting for a band, not for me) said to me, "that’s the day’s work done already, nice life for some!". Well, I am lucky to have a nice life, but that’s far from the day’s work done. So I thought...
The top 10 most popular things on MoneySavingExpert in the last three months

Baby MSE’s favourite story – ‘The Biggest Elephant in the World’
My beautiful little Baby MSE is now two and a half. And like many daddies, each day I look forward to the delights of sleep-time, when I get to put her to bed and tell her a story. Rather than reading them I tend to make them up about something we’ve done or talked about. About six...
Bye bye shin splints, just run my 500th kilometre of 2015
I thought it time for an update for fellow runners. Early last year I wrote that I had switched my running target from speed to endurance. I started the MSE run club.

Within the last week, we've seen the extension of coronavirus credit card, personal loan and overdraft help to 31 October 2020, with mortgage payment holidays already extended.

Is it time to ban Christmas presents?
26 October 2020![]()
