Hello Magpies, Is anyone else hooked on Celebrity Traitors? It’s all a bit of fun and drama to take our minds off the darker evenings! Speaking of which – has anyone actually enjoyed this little dip in temperature? (Personally, I’m clinging to my hot water bottle like it’s a long-lost friend.) Now, onto business… This week, we’ve
got some really important stories to share. Over one million children can eat for free this half term, please make sure you share our article to parents feeling the pinch. We’re also shining a light on the thousands of pensioners missing out on a payment that could make a real difference this winter. If you can help us spread the word to parents, grandparents, or neighbours, it could mean someone staying warm and well-fed this season. Elsewhere, we’re breaking down what the new living wage rise means for your household budget – and whether it’s enough to keep up with the cost of living. We’ve also tackled a difficult but important topic: the painful PIP process. We look at what’s going wrong and how to support those genuinely in need of help. Of course, we haven’t forgotten the fun bits! We’ve found 10 items for £10 at Iceland, a few clever ways to start investing even if you don’t have much spare cash, and… 👀 a little teaser: keep your eyes peeled in November for our exciting Giveaway Bonanza! You won’t want to miss what’s coming. Until
next time – stay warm, stay savvy, and keep those pennies working hard. With love, xxxx
