The big apple beckons…
I make it a rule never sign up to email newsletters; even if they start out interesting they soon deteriorate into pointless drivel padded out by even more pointless and uninteresting adverts.
But…being the contractictory woman that I am, I’ve broken my own rule. And the weekly email that’s caused this remarkable turnaround?: ‘Martin’s Money Tips’.
The title is cheesy and the website/forum is a usability nightmare but the content is worth it - especially for the less financially astute or downright thrifty among us.
A few of you may already be familiar with the eponymous ‘Martin’, that’s Mr Martin Lewis aka the ‘Money Saving Expert’ of Radio 2 fame (allegedly, given that I don’t listen to that particular station 
)
So, in the interests of sharing his excellent finds/advice/tips of the trade, here’s an example of some recent topics of interest:
Flights from London Gatwick to New York for £160
Martin’s Mortgage Guide (suitable for first time buyers)
Free giveaway: 75 pairs of Ideal Home World Tickets

Oh my god - I want to go back to NYC so much, perhaps this is the only time I will actually be able to afford it!
I get tips from the MSE too, except, I don’t tend to get around to reading most of them…
