Chatted to Naga Munchetty live on BBC Breakfast this am re. joint accounts and financial secrecy among couples.

44% of people think joint accounts are outdated/sexist, but they can be handy for sharing costs.

A pleasure to join @peterruddick.bsky.social and the team at Manchester Airport for BBC Breakfast this morning ✈️🧳

🤞the European Commission will standardise what “reasonable” size and weight actually means for hand luggage, and that this can be brought into effect in the UK to stop unfair fees!

Awful April has come back to haunt us with the latest CPI data 😱

Fear not. The spike may be short lived.

In the meantime, I shared some tips with the Daily Record on how to use the long weekend to get back on top of your budget.

In Wednesday’s episode of Rip Off Britain…

I spoke to @louiseminchin.bsky.social about the wealth management co dishing out £millions in compensation 😯 & joined consumer expert @martynjames.bsky.social on the sofa 🛋️ to answer Qs sent in by viewers.

V lucky to work with a lovely team and experts 🫶

Had a good chat with @claremcdonnell.bsky.social
on 5Live this afternoon about rising bills.

(Dug out my convo with Gordon Smart on the same topic a year ago - April really is awful for our finances 😬)

It hard to hear financial pain is on the way, but don’t despair. Help is out there, so ask.

Happy #MothersDay to all the mummas 🌼

My day began with a chat to Luxmy and Roger on BBC Breakfast about bills 📈

If you’re a parent who could claim Child Benefit and chooses not to - now is the time to claim that cash.

It won’t bring your bills down directly, but it could help soften the blow. 💷

A very early start in Sheffield where I joined Ben Boulos in the Winter Garden for BBC Breakfast ☀️🌴 🎥

Ben asked me about the impact of ⬆️ employers’ NICs on prices and jobs.

Such a pleasure to meet Jane Robinson, VP of IntelliamAI and Mohammed Chaudhri, chief economist at Experian this morning. 🙏

Wind💨 and rain☔️ didn’t stop me making it to London to record another podcast episode with the Which?Money team, this time sharing Nerdy tips on how to choose the right #CreditCard for you. 🤓

Rewards? Cashback? Low APR? 0% intro period? 🤷🏼‍♀️

The options can get overwhelming… hope this episode helps!

On 6 Jan I joined Gabriel Nussbaum on That #Money Show for the first episode of 2025 🎙️ 🎧 talking about price hikes and how to adapt your #budget to cope with them.

Bigger bills are never good news, but there are things you can do to boost your #financial resilience.

I managed to catch some winter sun this afternoon ☀️🎄before catching up with Bridgitte Tetteh live on BBC Radio Berkshire.

We talked about tracking your spending 💷 and avoiding #Christmas #scams.

Tip: don’t click through socials! ⚠️

Come off the platform and go direct to the retailer’s website.

This crucial email landed in my junk folder AGAIN 🤦🏼‍♀️

It’s no wonder parents fail to renew their codes for #childcare funding and #TaxFree childcare.

I’m adding the “childcareservice” email address to my safe list and setting my own reminder to check in 3 months.

Don’t miss out on £ next term!

Social media has popularised haul culture: over-purchasing and showing off multiple items, often with the intent to return most of them 👗👖🧥

@voguebusiness.bsky.social included my comments on the shift towards charging for returns to protect retailers’ profits.
