It’s true, it’s quite often the little things in life that make us happy. I read some articles about this and one of the little things of happiness which kept cropping up, again and again, was finding money that you didn’t know you had. This doesn’t happen to me a lot, but when it does, …
It’s a fairly simple question. Do you pick up pennies? Or is there a minimum value of coin that you’ll pick up off the street? I usually pick up all the coins I see. Not for myself though. They go to charity. I remember I found just over £5 in coins once, someone’s trouser pocket …
First published 31/01/2017 on Mouthy Money. I need music in my life. I work from home, in an office by myself. I’d probably go slightly crazy without some kind of background music. I’ve been paying for Spotify for almost a year now and the £4.99 a month offer I received is coming to an end …

Happy Bank Holidays Monday! I love these days off. Maybe heading to the beach, the local park, hoping to catch a glimpse of sunshine so you can grab an ice cream? Whilst ice creams from the ice cream van are often a treat – who doesn’t love a freshly put together mint choco chip in …
I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again, loyalty means nothing. Research from Citizens Advice says loyal broadband customers are hit by big price rises once fixed deals end. This is true!

The cost of stamps will increase from March 27th. Buy now to save! Much like last year’s rise, Royal Mail & putting up the price of stamps once again. First & second class stamps will increase by a penny to 65p & 56p respectively. First class large letter stamps will see the biggest increase as …
Mother’s Day is almost upon us and I’ve collated a few gift ideas which she’ll love and that won’t really cost you a penny. Make her breakfast in bed or cook her a home-cooked meal. Ban her from the kitchen on Mothering Sunday! Do the laundry of one of the other chores she usually does …
