May Competition: win tickets to see Fat Pig
|
 |
Competition organiser:
ukstudentlife.com in association with Ticketswitch & Trafalgar Studios |
 |
|
| Prize: | There are 20 prizes: each prize is a pair of tickets to see Fat Pig at London's Trafalgar Studios | ||
| Fat Pig information: |
When Tom (Robert Webb, from hit comedy duo
Mitchell and Webb) first meets Helen there is an instant connection,
but it’s not exactly love at first sight... Helen (Ella Smith, Sold) is a bright, funny, sexy young woman who happens to be plus-sized - and then some - so it’s only so long before the jokes start to fly from Tom's office buddies (My Family's Kris Marshall and BAFTA winning Gavin and Stacey's Joanna Page). The country's hottest actor-comedians star in this funny, searing and ultimately touching love story. |

With the rising cost of living it is more
important than ever to put some money aside for a rainy day. Making
the most of the cash you have is the key to surviving. An Individual
Savings Account (ISA) is one of the first places you should look
to invest, because you will not be taxed on the interest you earn. To
open a cash ISA you need to be a UK resident aged 16 or over, and you
can save up to £3,600 in this account during the tax year (between
6 April 2008 and 5 April 2009). Whether or not you win the camcorder, why not go along to your local branch of Alliance & Leicester to find out how you might be making more of your savings? |
