Those who have not discovered bitcoins yet find them fascinating. Their inventor is a mystery, and they can apparently only ever be 21 million bitcoins. The first bitcoin purchase was thought to be for a pizza and there has been hunger for bitcoins ever since. Given their growing popularity, we shall look at just what…

If there’s one thing we know all too well from the 2020 happenings is that global pandemics are real, and they can strike with no notice. No one is safe unless they plan to be primarily where finances are secure. This is why having the right financial tips to last through a pandemic is vital.

We’ve been living in our new build flat for 10 months now and our Hotpoint integrated washer / dryer has already broken down. An engineer just came out today and confirmed the barrel is completely broken and will need replacing. I spoke to him for a little while and here are few interesting things I…

How many times have you been to a restaurant and been handed a wine list full of wines that you are totally unfamiliar with? Or splashed out on expensive wine, only to be left disappointed by the taste? A couple of years ago, I visited Bordeaux, a region renowned for producing some of the world’s…
