A little more about Sarah

When she's not saving money, Sarah tries to find time to read, keep fit and teach herself to play the guitar, something which has gone unappreciated by all her previous housemates. She also enjoys travelling, usually to escape to warmer climates.

Sarah says...

"I love working at MSE because I get to help people save money, as well as picking up new tips and tricks myself. It's not a bad team either."
