  2. Does the NHS cost you too much money? Read this!

    Posted on

    In the UK, we are fortunate to have a national health service that covers most of our healthcare costs.  Despite the problems that the NHS has these days, few countries around the world offer subsidised healthcare to citizens to the extent that our NHS does in Britain.

    But, the NHS doesn’t cover all of our healthcare costs.  For some people, especially those with a need for regular prescriptions and treatment, there are some costs to bear.  And it’s those costs that can have a significant impact on low-income households.

    If that sounds like a familiar story, the good news is there are some creative ways to save money on your health costs.  Here are a few examples to give you some ideas on what you can do.

    Posted on

    Ad for The Midcounties Co-operative 1Change campaign – all words and opinions are my own.

    Our planet is literally suffocating from the amount of single-use plastic we are using and discarding on a daily basis.  It is killing animals, polluting our oceans and even poisoning us.

    Now we are aware of the destruction and damage this product has upon planet Earth, it’s more important than ever for us to curb our plastic-loving habits.  It’s time to replace single-use plastic with something more sustainable to protect our health and future.

    I recently undertook a challenge with The Midcounties Co-operative to see if I could reduce my plastic use in 60 seconds.  The campaign is about making 1Change in 1Minute.

    Reducing single-use plastic and helping our planet doesn’t need to be overwhelming or take time to implement.  We can make better choices in a minute or less every single day.

  85. 10 reasons to choose a scooter instead of a car

    Posted on

    Recently, when Ben was still at his employed job, we were seriously discussing him getting a scooter to commute to work.  We both have cars and one of our biggest expenses each month was Ben’s fuel costs.  We spent around £150 just on his fuel to get to work and back each day!

    Add in some supermarket shops, B&Q visits and trips to friends and family (even just locally) and we were usually filling his tank three times per month at a cost of £200.  It was one of our biggest outgoings every month and we were looking for how to cut car costs.  This is when Ben seriously began to consider a scooter!

  93. Is advertising communication science or manipulation?

    Posted on

    Advertising is everywhere.  We can’t escape it.  Even if you don’t watch the TV, listen to the radio or read newspapers, you will still be bombarded with advertising just by walking down the street!  It’s on buses, bus stops, road sides, buildings and even cars.

    On one hand it’s can be a good thing.  It lets us know about a product or service that could be of interest to us.  We might not stumble across this useful product by ourselves if it hadn’t of been for the advertisement.  But on the other hand we can be coerced into buying products we don’t really need, but think we need.  It can result in us wasting money or thinking we need to afford lifestyles that we, well, can’t afford.

    In a nutshell, advertising as we now know it is about manipulating the consumer. This is down to the fact that advertisers no longer care about the consumers but instead, they are driven by results and money.
