Why We Don't Save Anymore
According to this article, nearly 1 in 3 Brits do not have a savings account, whilst 40% spend money on things they want rather than saving it. Those that so save are putting away roughly £55 a month less than they did last year.

If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is…. take, for example the latest email scam purporting to be from Dave and Angela Dawes saying that they have chosen you to receive £1M - all you have to do is provide them with the usual bank details etc. In fact, the email originates from Israel.

Turns out best friends have been mortal enemies for some time now.
I like being alone. I can trust me with anything, I can lay in my pants all day and me wont care. I don’t have to do my hair or make up or even bother to speak to me because me is the best friend I’ll ever have.

WatchWorried about Visible Panty Line? The C string could solve all your problems! Unlike normal lingerie sets, the C string is strapless giving the wearer a totally smooth outline. Although, looking at it, I’m not totally convinced there is much point to wearing it at all!
