Money Supermarket’s ‘Room for Improvement’ Challenge.
I was recently asked if I wanted to take part in a special challenge/competition being run by the MoneySupermarket.com. Entitled the Money Supermarket Room for Improvement competition, the challenge was simple. Could you revamp a room in your house with a budget of just £50?

How exactly can you keep young children occupied when traveling, whether by coach, car, train or plane?
