Spendmas is over and it’s time to get excited about changing a 4-digit number and to reminisce over the last one. 2018 was an interesting year for us.

This video of ITV’s Martin Lewis Live caught my attention a few months ago, but I was still denying the end of summer and the immediate start of Christmas. This morning’s “How was your weekend?” was met with retail-induced groans. We should talk about this. … Read more
