Travel
	Sky Scanner	A very powerful flight checker, for cheap flights internationally.
	MSE, Flight checker	Superb budget airline flight checker, which builds tables of dates and prices, allowing you to find the cheapest deal in the quickest time.
	Easyjet	Refuse to be included in MSE checker. MSE will illustrate the cheapest dates and times overall, just put these into the easyjet site.
	Hostelworld	The cheapest accommodation, isn't asking a hotel for their cheapest room, but asking a hostel for their most expensive.
	Laterooms	Brilliant website for cheap, high quality accommodation. I don't use anyone else for UK hotels.
	Expedia	The legendary all-in-one travel shop. Cheapest deals are when flight and accommodation are booked together.
	Trainline	Shows timetables of train journeys, and shows every kind of available ticket. With the comical price of trains presently, this is an invaluable tool.
	The Adventure Company	Organise tours to some of the worlds wonders. Ideal if you don't have anyone to go with. Couldn't recommend them more highly.
	Multi-map	For road navigation, this is the Rosetta stone.
	National Express	Don't Laugh, Coaches provide a cheap travel alternative and on some routes are quicker than the train (Chester - Manchester Airport).
	Travcour	The place for Visa's. Not cheap but saves hours of Hassle.
	Tripadvisor	Independent review web site. Full of useful stuff, and superb for getting a "proper" assessment of a hotel before booking.

	Curr Conv.	The expedia currency converter, doesn't just convert travel currency, but actually searches the web for the best rate.
	Frixo	Real time Traffic advise. Brilliant for UK motorways (Lakes/Scotland etc). Don't forget, if you haven't got a car, you can rent one from £20 per day.
	TFL	Probably the most challenging travel environment you will ever visit - London. Has extensive maps and can plot routes in combinations of foot, bus, tube and train.

	MSE	Martin Lewis’s ws has all sorts of tricks to save money. Subscribe to receive monthly emails. Perfectly possible to save £100 per week using his strategy's.
	Firstdirect	People say a bank isn't really your friend. I agree. Other people says banks are all the same. They aren't. If your thinking of changing bank, give them a call.
	Money S-market	A brilliant site for searching and comparing Insurance, Loans etc. Also has a section, where you can ask an expert questions on Insurance, Loans etc.
	Motley Fool	The original financial management tool on the internet (read how they got their name) some ace articles to get you started on getting out of debt, budgeting etc.
	Enterprise Nation	My old friend Emma Jones has setup this amazing site to help you setup a business from home and make a bit of extra money. Her book, spare room startup is excellent.
	Morris & Co	The best accountant I know is the one I work for. Everyone else seems to cut cost/value. Not the cheapest but done smart/accurate by someone you can talk to.

	The Register	Satirical IT news website. Features the superb BOFH collumn.
	Slash Dot	User-submitted and editor-evaluated current affairs news with a "nerdy" slant

Media
	Love film	Absolutely brill site, where you setup your own list, and they send you DVD's.
	My episodes	American site where you can track your favourite tv show times (especialy usefull for downloaders, off course I dont know anyone like that).
	Guardian un.	The main site I use for film reviews. Quite simply their reviews are right on my wavelength.
	IMDB	One of the largest databases on the internet. Especialy usefull if youve seen a film, but you cant remember its name, but you know one of the actors in it.
	Cinema Listing	Very fast independant cinema listing site. Main thing I like about it, is that it can be printed, unlike some of the poncier sites.
	Cineworld	Not fantastic as a website, but Cineworld are the only major cinema chain that offer an unlimited cinema deal (caution, you have to sign up for a whole year minimum).
	tv.com	Listing of just about every series ever on TV. Usefull for finding the back story mid series. Can review X Files and find and list episodes that you havent seen.

	Sky	Sky plus is one of the best modern inventionas ever created. Even better, you can go on the web, and set the box in your house to record !.
