omg, bless his socks. I couldn't do all that. day after day... Martin, you are an absolute star! (how do we nominate people for knighthoods and all that?!)
Hi Martin, I've been a fan for a long time. More recently I've been getting a feeling of I hope the guy doesn't burn out. The country needs your energy and vision for the long term! Not to mention the MSF?!
Martin's so busy reporting on it - when does he have time to find out the info in the first place?!
I will never complain about my degree workload again .
This site is all the better for such hard work and commitment. Can't say I'm surprised that there's nothing half-arsed about his working day. Except the lack of eating *tuts*. Eating solely Maltesers is sadly not a legitimate money-saving device. I've tried.
I'm exhausted now having read that - I'm so glad there's a team to help, although Martin is still the public face who's needed for the appearances. Well done all of you, but especially Martin!
omigod Martin, you can't keep that up! You'll burn out! My gratitude for all you've done with this site is huge, but I don't want you paying this kind of personal cost even now, thats not okay!
The other feeling I have is admiration, OTOH. Good lord, I wish I had that energy!

Thank you for all your info and very full days, I`m glad you get paid for it,unlike some RAF officers wives,because we regularly work for 20 hours a day,weekends included. I have just received back more than £200 of bank charges, not for an overdraft, more likely for the bank managers Xmas bonus, so very many thanks to you. Remind everyone to keep their records, as I am sure I would not have received my money back if I had destroyed them.
**drools over the mention of Keiran Bracken again**
Can I pop down and hold the golden piggy for him please
Martin has asked me to tell you that I'm the Board Guide of the Telephones, Reclaim Bank Charges, Silver Savers and Scotland boards which means I'm a volunteer to help the boards run smoothly and I can move and merge threads there. However, please do remember, board guides don't read every post. If you spot an abusive or illegal post then please report it to abuse@moneysavingexpert.com Any views are mine and not the official line of MoneySavingExpert.
You are a very very busy man, hats off to you for managing to fit that all in! I could never juggle that much at once yet you seem to have it down to a fine art! All I can say is thankyou for working that hard to make all of our lives better, your work is more important than many realise.
I am glad though you recognise the value of a break... take a few more and let the rest of MSE towers (who i'm sure are also very busy) take some of the load off you
Your an absolute legend, reading your blog really makes you realise how much effort really goes into a project like this. I really don't know how you do it.
I just hope you realise what a difference you make by helping people understand and get out of debt. I've no doubt that your help and assistance has saved lives of those caught in the downward spiral of debt.
