What we can learn from Wayne Rooney’s tax return!

Here’s an important financial lesson we can glean from the Manchester United forward…

That’s the headline that got the Sunday Times into a spot of bother with the Manchester United forward earlier this year. The footballer complained to the press watchdog stating that the story was not accurate and lacked any reply.

But the Press Complaints Commission (PCC) ruled in favour of the Sunday paper, stating that the headline was explained within the article.

Cook for yourself. Yes, it’s inevitable that we must grow up and learn the art of converting groceries to edible meals. From my own experience, I know that it’s challenging so here are some tips to get started:
