Thrilled to feature in the latest episode of #ITVTonight which explores how to save on the cost of #Christmas. You can see me in action by following the link itv.com/watch/tonight/1a2803. My top tips are: Make use of loyalty cards; portion control and get guests to contribute also.

It was good to be on #BBC Breakfast this morning to discuss the latest #inflation reading. The sharp fall to 4.6% is a psychological milestone. But while the light at the end of the #CostOfLiving tunnel shines brighter, challenges remain.

Good to be back on GB News earlier to discuss long term (10 plus years) fixed rate #mortgage deals. The fact that only 1% of existing mortgages are fixed beyond five years is telling. Also, good opportunity to debut my new spectacles 🤓

Good to be on GB News this morning to discuss the recent increases in #mortgage rates. I overheard someone dismissing the plight of mortgage seekers as rates pushed 16% in the 80s, failing to consider that cost of the av home is 10x av wage compared to 4x back then. Significant.

Well that was an interesting #Budget2023. It was good to take part in a live BBC Q&A session following the Chancellor’s speech and discuss what the key measures mean for personal finances on various regional BBC radio stations. I’m off to eat lunch now (I wish I was joking!)

It was good to be on Vanessa Feltz’s new Talk TV show to answer questions related to personal finance from viewers. Today’s hot topics were the #mortgage market turmoil and the reprieve in #savings rates
