I’ve been busy working in my workspace down the road today. I find it helps to have a change of scene to help my productivity! What works for you? I hope you’re all enjoying this spring weather, even if it’s still a bit chilly! #working #workspace #workfromhome #wfh #lockdown #spring #springtime #outdoors #exercise #dailywalk #london

The latest statistics from the ONS show that the younger generation have suffered particularly badly as a result of lockdown - facing poverty, losing jobs and missing out on job opportunities. See my video above to hear my reasons for opposing lockdowns. #lockdown #ons #youngpeople #youngergeneration #ukpoverty #jobloss #joblossincovid19

As lockdown restrictions begin to ease, and some of us return to work, we might not be thinking about getting out for our daily walks. But remember, it’s so important and even better when the weather is like this! Here I am in Hyde Park. #lockdown #restrictions #easinglockdown #dailywalk #exercise #hydepark #walking #workfromhome #wfh #london

My tip of the day! “95% mortgages for first-time buyers are out today. It’s a new Government scheme where you can get your own home with just a 5% deposit and still get a decent mortgage rate. Only five banks are taking part in the scheme but a few other lenders are doing something similar without Government help. So if you’re keen to buy your own place and despair of ever getting enough cash for a deposit, check out this scheme. We’ll be writing more about this, and other ways to get a cheaper property, on MoneyMagpie this week too.” #firstimebuyer #homeowner #mortgage #mortgageloan #loan #loans #finance #personalfinances #deposit #housedeposit #home #lockdown #stayathome #london

I’ve been following my own advice and getting outside to make the most of nature and the outdoors! Here are my hanging baskets at home, blooming nicely now it’s starting to feel a bit more spring like. Have you been getting out and about this week? It’s a lot easier now lockdown is easing and the country is opening up again. Let me know what you’ve been up to! #lockdown #spring #outdoors #nature #garden #patiogarden #hangingbaskets #flowers #patiodesign #patioideas #gardening #gardeninglife #naturelovers #london

My tip of the week! The weather is finally getting a bit warmer so what better time than now to switch your gas and electricity?? Most of us don’t think of it until it gets colder and we use the heating more but it’s usually better to do it when it’s warm (or getting warm). Use any of the comparison sites - particularly the one on MoneyMagpie.com! (link in bio) - put your postcode in and it shouldn’t take you more than 15 minutes to choose and switch to a tariff that will save you money. I’m going mine and I’ll tell you how much I’ve saved! #savemoney #savingmoney #save #money #finances #personalfinances #tips #heating #electricity #costs #bills #energy #london #lockdown #stayathome

I was very sad to hearing about the passing of Prince Philip today. In honour of him I think we should all get outside and enjoy nature. See my video below! #nature #outdoors #outdoor #walking #running #cycling #freedom #free #spring #springtime #princephilipdukeofedinburgh #princephilip #london

It’s not always work! This week I’ve been learning to ride down on a friend’s farm. Remember to make sure you have some down time and get out and about in the outdoors. With Covid restrictions easing many of us will be eager get back to be our busy lives, but it’s really important to keep spending time outdoors. #outdoors #spring #mentalhealth #wellbeing #healthandwellness #horseriding #riding #horse #horses #london

I’m having a rant today: a rant about cash. I'm a thorough-going city-dweller who can go from one end of the week to the next never touching cash, but I'm now making a point of using it as much as I can. Cash is anonymous. You can use it wherever you like and 'they' don't know what you've done with it. In a world of increasing surveillance and data-mining, anonymity is a very valuable quality and we need to protect it.
So that's why I've written an article (link in bio) about how we need to use cash more, campaign for it, demand that shops and restaurants take it and generally protect the idea. Our Government, like many others, is looking at creating a totally-trackable, digital currency to replace coins and notes. When that happens we will have no privacy at all. Are you happy about that? I'm not. #cash #money #cashlesssociety #cashless #government #currency #digitalcurrency #london #uk #lockdown #spending #spend #contactless #cardpayments
