Ski holidays put on ice as recession continues
written by Naomi_RichardsonIt's a slippery slope it seems when it comes to ski holidays. Despite the snow laden pistes and optimum ski conditions, it seems our love affair with winter sports has been put on ice while the recession continues to hold us in its wintry grip. The numbers taking to the slopes is down by half on the 70,000 who travelled in 2007, according to the Sunday Business Post.

How to survive until pay day
written by Naomi_RichardsonThere are two things about January that make me vow every year I will book a sun holiday and just pretend like it's not happening.

written by Naomi_RichardsonIn the run up to Christmas, it is oh so tempting to buy something that you don't have to start paying for until six months down the line. Yes June 2010 seems far away now but it will swing around surprisingly faster than you anticipate. Blowing €449.99 on a Roger Black AG-12501 Bike Cross Trainer Combo - and paying nothing now - seems like a great deal.
