Top tips to save for Christmas Here are Mrs Mummypenny's top tips for saving money at Christmas: 1. Save a little bit every week Placing a small amount into a savings account every week can really add up over time. Many banks offer a round-up function where daily spending is rounded up to the nearest pound, with that amount going to a separate savings pot. 2. Start planning - now If you can identify everything you'd like to do this Christmas, you can work out roughly how much you need to save to cover the entire cost. 3. Get ahead of your bills using your smart meter The screen that comes with your smart meter allows you to see your energy usage, make adjustments and save money. If you have a smart prepayment meter you can top up your credit online or over the phone from the comfort of your own sofa instead of going to the shops. 4. Use loyalty cards and vouchers to pay for Christmas presents Many places offer loyalty schemes such as supermarkets, where you can collect points and vouchers and use them to buy presents. 5. Get cash back on all online purchases Set up an account with the cash back site and go there first to find your chosen retailer. Then click through as normal to your chosen retailer or bill provider, triggering the cookies and getting you the cash back if you make a purchase. 6. Sell your clutter I urge you to spend ten minutes looking around your house and finding ten items that you no longer use or want that you can sell.

Iconic Lush product spotted in store five months early as shoppers gobsmacked
Shoppers have been left floored after an iconic Lush product has been spotted five months before it usually appears, but there is a little catch with the beloved item In a week when The Range posted that its elves are getting ready for Christmas and ITV's This Morning played Christmas music on air as Coupon King Jordan Cox spoke about Christmas deals and ways to save money, there's another confusingly Christmassy launch at Lush. Savvy shoppers have spotted that there's an early release on shelves, but they're certainly not complaining. That's right, on shelves across the UK right now, there are bottles of Snow Fairy body mist ready to be bought, and people cannot believe it. But there is a slight catch for the spray, and the other products that have appeared. The catch is that the gorgeous, sweet scent of Snow Fairy has been expertly blended with the fresh delights of Super Milk - and the results are insane. However, you can get certain products in just the Snow Fairy scent. If you're looking to bridge the gap between summer and Christmas time, then you can get a Snow Fairy Glitter Mist for £18. This will give your skin a gorgeous glow during the summer months, but adds a stunning lustre for winter, too. There's a mini version for £9, a crackling shower powder for £6, and a bubble bar on a stick in the iconic scent for £8, which should keep you going until it reappears on shelves towards the back end of 2025. But if you want something similar, but slightly different, and like the sound of Super Milk mixed with Snow Fairy, then you're in luck - it's called Super Fairy. Lush describe is on their website as being like "Sweet and salty popcorn" or "Pineapple on pizza," as they said: "Super Milk and Snow Fairy. It shouldn't work... but it totally does. "Two Lush icons collide to become the ultimate power couple. Bold, citrusy Super Milk meets Snow Fairy's candy floss sweetness in this mouth-watering mashup. Grab the body lotion, shower gel or bath bomb — or go wild and collect the whole trio. "Feeling playful yet powerful? Soft yet strong? Get you a scent that can do both". The absolutely stunning pink and white mix in the shower gel looks good enough to eat. Depending on which size you opt for, it costs from £8.50 to £27. There's also a glorious £6 bath bomb you can elevate your bath with, and a body lotion that costs £11 for 100g. TikToker @mishkaloureviews, who is based in Australia, shared a video of the whole collection, and many left comments praising the collaboration Lush had produced. One woman admitted that she'd "bought it all". "Can't wait to try," someone else penned. One Lush superfan even claimed that the collaboration was going to be "all year round," but on the UK website, it shares that it's for a "limited time only". But, we can hope that it'll be so popular they make it a permanent fixture.

Minnie marvellous for O'Brien and Moore at Epsom
Minnie Hauk just got the better of stablemate Whirl as Aidan O'Brien again dominated the Betfred Oaks at Epsom. Desert Flower, the short-priced favourite and 1000 Guineas winner, was one of the first under pressure before stamina became an issue, although to her credit she stayed on bravely to finish third. Up front it was the Ballydoyle pair that pulled a long way clear, but it took all of the final furlong for Ryan Moore's mount to get on top of long-time leader Whirl, with the 9-2 chance eventually winning by a neck. O'Brien said: 'I've been delighted with this filly, she's got a great team around her and I'm so grateful to everybody. 'She's a very classy filly. She was just ready to run at Chester, she barely made it, but she made abnormal improvement from Chester, which we thought she might – it was all class rather than stamina or fitness, she just has a lot of class. 'Ryan gave her a beautiful ride, he loved her the last day and he loved her again today so it's very exciting. 'I'd say she's still a bit green. Obviously at Chester she learned a lot, but she was always going to improve with racing.' He added: 'What you love about her is she's a great traveller with a lot of class, Ryan said he was going very easy early on, so usually that means she can step up a couple of grades into even higher class races – she could take on the boys if the lads decide it. I'm delighted for them to have another filly like this.' Of the runner-up he said: 'Whirl ran a great race, she stays, she's by Wootton Bassett and it is very unusual what they are doing, they are speed horses but a lot are staying as well. 'She was fighting back again at the line, that's incredible really.' Moore said: 'She began well and travelled strong early and I just wanted to make sure I was in a position to do what I wanted when I wanted. 'She just travelled a bit too strong and fell asleep on me then after I asked her to relax. The filly in front is a good filly and kept building the whole way and I just had to ask my filly to go to her and she quickened up very smartly and got there easily. 'Whirl came back and my filly found a little bit more. I think she'll improve for the experience and as far as three-year-old fillies go she's very good. 'She'll be (going for the) Irish Oaks/Nassau Stakes, that sort of thing, and we'll go from there. She's a lightly-raced filly and should improve.' Moore added: 'I rode some exceptional fillies in this race, Love and Minding spring to mind and Snow Fairy as well. She's got a way to go, but she's open to any amount of improvement.' While the Irish Oaks is on O'Brien's radar for Minnie Hauk, he also has one eye on the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at ParisLongchamp in October. He said: 'I would say there is every possibility this filly could be an Arc filly as she can go a lot stronger tempo than they went today, so that means she would be happy amongst the older horses. 'She's a classy filly and the improvement from here to Chester has been abnormal. She was a middle-distance filly working like a Guineas filly and when that happens it's a little bit different. 'The Irish Oaks is always close to our hearts and then there's the Yorkshire Oaks and the French trials and all those races are open to her before the Arc, but I think she's very classy and I think she's only going to improve.'
