| 0:00.0 | A very warm welcome to consuming issues on Share Radio and a very happy new year to you all. |
| 0:16.2 | I'm Georgie Frost here every weekday from 9 until one with my producer Annie Weston on digital online |
| 0:22.1 | and through the Share Radio mobile app making that pound in your pocket go a little bit further. |
| 0:27.5 | Now this is the time of the week where we welcome the team from This Is Money, |
| 0:31.7 | the award-winning financial website and money section of the Mail Online this morning. |
| 0:36.9 | I've got editor Simon Lambert here |
| 0:38.4 | with me to discuss the stories that they've been investigating over the festive period that |
| 0:43.0 | affect the pound in your pocket, including railfare rises, house prices, returning any unwanted |
| 0:49.2 | gifts, and we reflect on the future of our supermarkets. And today we are asking, what are your New Year's |
| 0:55.9 | resolutions? And what advice, perhaps more importantly, do you have in helping us to keep them? |
| 1:01.1 | Because only one in ten of us apparently stick with resolutions for the whole year, most of us |

I quite fancy opening up a shares account or something, you know, getting myself, you know, getting myself some shares. I think that's more exciting than writing a will personally. Well, it's not about exciting. It's about what we need to do. Yeah, I can make |
| 1:45.3 | a bit of money. That's what I'm hoping for. Anyway, so Jenny says she's going to gather up all of her |
| 1:49.2 | posts and do an order of her household bills to see if she can make any savings. Very sensible. |
| 1:53.8 | Costas on Twitter has said, make better use of my money in all ways and publish my second |
| 1:58.7 | poetry book or project. Very good. Amy said I've made a pledge to |
| 2:02.8 | my bank account to sell the clothes I do not wear on eBay and to use the money to go towards |
| 2:08.0 | a summer holiday. I like that one a lot. Tim says one money tip that I've stuck to and that's putting |
