Beat the crunch – Give the expert a run for his money

With the credit crunch pushing up the costs of living a new report, due out next week, claims that Britons could be facing the most expensive month of the year.

Consider just some of the report’s findings:

- One in five homeowners say their fixed rate deal comes to an end this month, hiking their largest monthly outgoing
- Gas, water and electricity bills will be their highest ever as rises announced earlier this year filter through in May
- Your annual TV Licence fee will also be coming through the door this month.
- Brits are overhauling their wardrobe for summer
- May has two bank holiday weekends in which to amuse ourselves..
