Many retailer are afraid that the Royal Mail postal strike will have an adverse effect on shopping online. It could be too early to tell, but as far as we can see, online shopping is just as strong this week as last week.

Some shoppers we spoke to are happy to do Christmas Shoppping online, even if the strike means the delivieries will take a little longer than planned.

Are you still shopping online? Leave a comment and let us know.

A recent study by PricewaterhouseCoopers showed that households can save on average a massive £560 a year from shopping online and paying bills online.

My question is, is there anyone who doesn't shop online? I'd suggest that this statement should be the other way around: People who shop on the high street, shop by phone and pay by cheque could end up paying £560 extra a year.

No, it's not Christmas yet, but if you walk round any town centre you'd think otherwise. Is it a desperate attempt by retailers to kickstart their sales by putting up the decorations and whacking Christmas tunes on the in store CD player?

It's convinced some people - my Mum has started her Christmas shopping already - so we've put up our Christmas Shopping section a little earlier than usual. You can find a list of our favourite Christmas Shops, the most popular Christmas sellers and if you want to save some money this festive season, some Christmas voucher codes.

We promise not to put the tinsel up or get Cliff Richard on, just yet...!

Todays revelation by BBC News website that over 30,000 (and they are still counting) email address passwords have been stolen and posted online is shocking.

What this does NOT mean is that webmail is insecure. Far from it. The passwords have been stolen because users have been conned into sending the criminals their passwords. (Sometimes called Phishing)

They will have received an email purporting to be from Google, Hotmail, Yahoo or AOL. The email asks for password details, usually with some kind of threat that service would be interrupted without a reply.

The problem of course is that we are all so trusting and just give up our most valuable details. I don't believe that 30,000 is the true number - I think that it is 10 times that. I have several friends that have fallen victim to this.

Here are some very simple tips to keep you safe online:

• Never send anyone personal details (Date of Birth, Passwords etc.) in response to an email they have sent you. Never. Ever. Never. Even if your bank insists - call them instead.
• Always try to have different passwords. If you can't have separate ones for every account you have, then at least have different passwords for banking, online shopping and your email.
• Install a good virus checker
• Change your webmail password online right now - just in case.

You wouldn't give a stranger at your door personal information - so don't do it online.
