Interest rates to be 2.75% by 2012 - CBI

The CBI projects interest rates could hit 1.25% by the end of 2011, rising to 2.75% by Q4 2012 with inflation forcing the BoE to raise rates from their historic low in the Spring.
Private sector employer trade body, the Confederation of British Industry expects inflation to stay "stubbornly high" this year, partly due to the impact of higher VAT but also due to pressure from rising energy and commodity prices.However, it continues to predict, that the UK economy will grow in…

It is reported…

SEO isn't all metatags and linkbacks - using your keywords and phrases frequently but sensibly and in the right places on…

When Times are Hard

Times are hard – but stop reminding me!

 When times are tough and with so many people in debt, the last thing we want to hear is more bad news, isn’t it? Government statistics can be quite depressing. For example, they say now that 40% of people struggle to make it to pay-day.



I don’t know about you, but I believe that many people go into denial and cannot relate to being a…

Interest rate rise in June ?

The Telegraph reports that interest rates could very well increase in June, following the surprising inflation figures. 

A rate rise would end a two-year period of stability, when interest rates lay at a record low of 0.5 per cent. A move upwards could add hundreds of pounds to many homeowner's mortgages but offer relief to 38 million savers, who have suffered from pitiful returns in since the financial crisis…

HOW TO CURE A COLD THIS WINTER



Lets begin by busting the myth that you catch a cold if you go out in the cold with wet hair.  Cold is a virus and you can only get it from somebody else or from germs in the environment around you. 

 

How does a virus work? In order to take hold, a virus must get inside the cells and re-programme them to replicate more viruses, which then infect other surrounding cells.

 

So what happens when your body is under attack?  Firstly your body will only succumb…
