Whilst we constantly monitor and fret over the outgoings of
our current accounts, we rarely spare a thought for the extra cash that is
being added to our account balances. Whenever we think of interest rates we
automatically think of them from the point of view of a borrower rather than an
investor, so how can you find a cash-saving current account to increase your
bank balance?
The multitude of current accounts available means there is an endless supply of choice for anyone reviewing the state of their banking. New deals, such as Santander's
£100 incentive to switch to their
preferred current account, are constantly coming into fruition. The current
account itself features an attractive 5% interest rate on balances up to £2,500
as well as getting a free overdraft for the first 12 months.

Summer is a season characterised by brightness and colour, vivacity and vibrancy. Everywhere we look there is colour and charm giving us that warm, summer-glow feeling. The problem is, unfortunately, that increasingly tight finances mean that few of us are taking the time to stop and smell (or at least buy) the flowers.
It may seem like a luxury that can be relinquished, but nothing brightens up a day more than fresh flowers. People love receiving flowers, and, if we admit it, it does feel nice to give flowers as a gift, too.

There's a good reason why I carefully read through my receipts upon returning home from a shopping trip, and it's not because I'm afraid of being overcharged (although that would be a perfectly reasonable and, more importantly, sensible explanation). No. I excitedly check my receipts on the off-chance that either a typo, clumsily abbreviated item description, or bored employee has transformed what is usually a depressing reminder of my predictable overspending into an unlikely source of amusement. So far I'm yet to strike gold but I have it on good authority that it happens quite regularly; after all, how many millions of receipts are produced on a daily basis?
To whet my appetite (and yours), here are some glorious examples.

Hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day! I'm going to be completely honest with you: I have nothing to write about today. So, in lieu of actual content, I will instead share these post-Valentine poems that I wrote to shamelessly promote the various deals and offers we have here on Savoo, your favourite voucher code site.

Hundreds of female fans were enchanted by his portrayal of the elfin Legolas in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, thousands more swooned when he played the swashbuckling Will Turner alongside Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow and still more will, no doubt, be won over in the forthcoming Three Musketeers which is currently filming. However, fans of Orlando Bloom will be seeing a lot more of him as he has just been named as one of the global ambassadors for clothing chain
Uniqlo.

The first time I heard a song by Death Cab for Cutie, my initial thought was, "Wow, the singer sounds EXACTLY like the singer of The Postal Service." So, imagine my surprise when I discovered that they were in fact the same person. I mention this because I had a somewhat similar problem with the Gorillaz. I'd always thought that the voice of 2d, the lead vocalist of the virtual band, sounded vaguely familiar. However, the fact that the band was a cartoon kind of threw me off the scent and I never bothered looking further into it. It was only years later, in the midst of a Wikipedia procrastination session, that I learned his vocals were provided by Damon Albarn of Blur. In any case, the Gorillaz have released a new single entitled Doncamatic (All Played Out), which just recently received its first play on the radio. Have a listen here:

We've all heard the famous slogan from John Lewis,
"Never knowingly undersold" and today the retail giant announced it was extending its price promise to its ever growing online store. The price match will apply to products sold by online competitors with real bricks and mortar premises found in High Streets and shopping precincts throughout the UK. However, it won't extend to online-only companies like Amazon who obviously don't have the same overheads.

If the iPad was the ultimate must-have for geeks then this latest retro offering must be in the running for best accessory. The official Etch-a-Sketch case, endorsed and licensed by Ohio Art, the company that first introduced the iconic toy 50 years ago, is certain to add some retro cool functionality to your iPad.
The rubber case slips over the iPad to protect it from knocks and bangs and, while the white knobs won't draw lines all over the screen (how cool would that be, though?), the drop-down legs at the back will allow you to stand it at an angle just like the original toy.
You can however download an Etch-a-Sketch application which allows you to clear the screen by shaking you iPad!

Employers could be forced to send all your pay directly to the government so it can be taxed before it gets sent to your bank account. The move to replace the Pay As You Earn (PAYE) taxing system, which has been in effect for over 66 years, is aimed at reducing the current problem where nearly 10% of cash owed goes unpaid due mainly to blunders by HMRC.
Currently, employers withhold tax from your wages and pay the government, providing information at the end of the year. The new system would mean the government would have access to your bank accounts so that, once they've deducted the taxes themselves, they can place the money in your account.
