The Financial Wilderness

Thanks to Oli and congratulations to @dannihewson! Some really fantastic results in a good year for markets.

@BeeMoneySavvy Adding in another vote for Iceland. Remember arriving, grabbing a coffee and a simple toastie and it being £16 😥

What’s the most expensive country you’ve visited? I’m currently in Switzerland which is known for being quite expensive 🇨🇭

We've been featured on @GOBankingRates talking about being prepared for economic downturn! gobankingrates.com/saving-money/b…

Many thanks to @LindaHobden for hosting our guest post on if a personal trainer is worth it! Check that out here: bootsshoesandfashion.com/is-using-a-per…

@Sandownpark Hello! Just wondering if you can park at Sandown on non-race days and if there’s a fee if so?

Hi @OctopusEnergy - hope you enjoy our review of you freshly published this morning!🐙 thefinancialwilderness.com/octopus-energy…

@SW_Help Hi SWR - is there a way I can automate buying a new flexi season ticket after I’ve used my old one, or do I have to do this manually?

A reminder we are not far away from the end of the tax year - if you’re not already making use of your ISA allowance for 23/24’, it’s well worth taking a few minutes over the weekend to sort it! thefinancialwilderness.com/why-should-you…

For today’s article we’ve partnered with @Over60sDiscount to look at some of the best deals for UK Seniors! Check it (and them out!) thefinancialwilderness.com/the-best-deals…

@Frugal_Jools Thanks Jools, I think this is the route I’ll probably end up going down!

@TFWilderness My local tip has a section for fabrics/clothing etc that can be recycled. There might be one near you.

Donating bedding is proving surprisingly difficult - it seems most homeless or animal charities don’t seem to accept it anymore. Does anyone know of anyone who does? I don’t want to landfill it!

@AlysonBrooker (Also think Swift as recommended above is excellent; but definitely book a table for the downstairs).

@AlysonBrooker You’ll definitely need to book, but Nightjar and it’s sister bar Oriole have excellent jazz nights and top quality cocktails. For Coffee, try the RWRD app - focuses on independents/small chains.

Londoners and London frequenters: please hit me up with your recommendations of places to eat, drink and have coffee. Also comedy and jazz clubs. Thank you!

We were featured on @MadeDeals this week for our financial resolutions for 2024 - check it out here! Have you made any?greatdealsmadeeasy.com/money-saving-t…

I hope all of our readers had/will have a very happy Christmas and New Year! We’ve got loads set up for 2024, but we’d absolutely love to hear if there’s anything you’d particularly like us to cover!

@RoyalMailHelp Thank you, I’ve just done that!

@RoyalMailHelp Hi team, my partner used your collect from home service, the postie was late but did collect. She then got a ‘we were unable to fufill your collection mail.’ When we go into ‘view your collection’ says collection failed. It’s now been several days - what can we do?

@AlysonBrooker I personally liked it, although I did prefer the Appeal.

Did anyone else find this to be a struggle to keep going with?

We’re very proud to be featured on @MoneyHelperUK today on the really important topic of protection. Do take a read and check out their wider Talk Money Week coverage!
