If you’ve ever been on a group holiday (or indeed organised anything for a group of you), you’ll appreciate the thankless task that organising such a soiree represents. They’ll inevitably those friends amidst your group that seem hell bent on putting a spanner into your well laid plans, be it turning up late or not paying the full amount.

Thankfully help is at hand in the form of a new website called Wigadoo. The site allows groups of friends to sign up to an activity or holiday and pay their money into a central account. When enough people pay up the “group leader” – yes, you can still carry that clipboard with you – you can transfer the money to their bank account or pay direct with through a Mastercard system.

Heading Abroad

We blogged earlier today about the great deals currently on offer from Thomas Cook and there are many other great offers to be found in our travel section.

Of course you don’t have to use the service just for travel. You could use it for all manner of things, such as organising a trip to see your favourite band or comedian via Ticketmaster, or even a trip to the theatre with DiscountTheatre.com, both of which would earn you some nice cash back.

Has anyone used the Wigadoo service yet? What were your opinions of it?
