Katie Price went shopping at high street bargain store Poundland on Sunday, weeks before she is set to be declared bankrupt.
The former glamour model-turned-TV star, 40, was seen at a London branch of the store, lugging rolls of wrapping paper and a bag of items, presumably getting Christmasshopping done early.
Clearly not concerned with remaining conspicuous as she vi…

Katie Price has turned a touch thriftier after she narrowly dodged bankruptcy last month.
While the 40-year-old could still face being declared formally bankrupt, after she was given five weeks to repay her debts, the reality star is clearly making some smart decisions with her money as she picked up some Christmas supplies from her local Poundland recently.
Toting several bags after the shopping trip with a pal, believed to be the familys nanny Lauren, the former glamour model looked pleased with her loot, that appeared to include several rolls of festive wrapping paper and bags of other supplies.

I met a young entrepreneur who runs a debt-solutions business that helps people who cannot get out of their financial mess. Like others in its industry, this business provides budgeting advice, assists clients with payment arrangement with creditors and lends money.
He said some clients have $80,000 on credit cards, interest bills that cannot be met, and debt that can never be repaid. Often, the debt relates to the purchase of jet skis, holidays in Bali, swimming pools and other goods that should …

What is particularly egregious is that energy companies are making such demands on their customers who are in financial difficulty, even though new rules will outlaw some of this conduct in six weeks time in Victoria.
Come January 1, under reforms introduced by the Essential Services Commission, an energy retailer will be required to offer assistance to all customers to prevent debt spiralling out of control. Customers will no longer have to provide financial information as a condition of accessing help when they are in financial difficulty. And the more financial difficulty someone is in, the more assistance the retailer is expected to provide.
Im particularly relieved that retailers will not be able to require a customer to seek a…

Vodafone expects its long-suffering UK business to report stronger profits in the second half of the year as it reaps the benefits of a wide-ranging restructuring in its home market.
The company has struggled for a decade in the UK as attempts to revive growth in its local mobile phone business have failed to bear fruit.
The UK business, which has 19m customers, has been known as the weakest link in Vodafones European empire by analysts. The 2012 acquisition of struggling Cable & Wireless Worldwide dragged down the financial performance in the UK and a botched upgrade of its systems caused customer complaints, reputational damage and gave rise to a hefty 5m fine from regulator Ofcom.
Vodafones first-half results, published last week…

Afrikaner rights group AfriForum said over the weekend they might have to attempt to have EFF leader Julius Malema and his party declared bankrupt in an effort to squeeze out the last of the legal costs the party still owes AfriForum.
On Wednesday, two separate judges of the High Court in Pretoria granted two further costs orders against Malema and the EFF in favour of AfriForum.
However, AfriForums application for the court to send Malema to jail for six months and fine the EFF R500,000 for ignoring a court order interdicting them from inciting illegal land invasions was removed from the court roll.
This was after the EFF failed to file its opposing affidavit on time, sought a postponement and offered to pay the wasted legal costs. The…

After our last story on Telltale Games in September, things have progressed and the game company is now gone for good. News broke in the US this week confirming that Telltale Games has entered into liquidation and will basically cease to exist come end of November.
The process essentially involves a sell-off of all the companys assets, likely including game titles, intellectual property and the like, with the proceeds used to pay off creditors. Indications are the process wont take very long.
Telltales CEO Pete Hawley has also deleted his Twitter account and his LinkedIn profile indicates he ceased in this role last month.
In September, indications were the company would continue operations to complete The Walking Dead:…
