Call You and Yours: Green Shoots?

Confidence in the UK economy is picking up, according to the Confederation of British Industry. Is that confidence trickling down to consumer spending power? Call Julian Worricker.

On Call You and Yours, we want to find out how you're feeling about your finances. There are signs of improvement in the economy and we want to know whether the better news is reaching you. Do you feel more secure at work? Have you been able to take more people on if you're running a business? Or perhaps your disposable income is as tight as ever, and that the green shoots - if that's what they are - aren't touching your life at all.

The Confederation of British Industry has raised its forecasts for economic growth for this year and next. High street sales improved in July too, according to the British Retail Consortium. With better news about manufacturing coming in from the Eurozone and reports that GDP is up; how confident do you feel?
