Forumites Champagne Pudsey Headstart!

Posts: 8,272 Money Saving Expert


We've just launched the first MoneySavingExpert.com Facebook App in aid of Children in need.
For every genuine new UK recipient of the weekly e-mail from now until Sunday midnight the site will donate 50p to Children in Need.
We've built a funky Facebook app that tells your friends this and gives you a Pudsey Point for
A. Every friend who gets the email
B. Every friend who also adds the app
Then after sunday the person with the most pudsey points will win a bottle of champange (and don't worry no one in MSE Towers is allowed to win).
It's going in the tip this week, but I thought I'd give Forumites a head start. Please do add the app - we want to try and steam it all over Facebook with your help!

PS currently the on-facebook £ raised counter is a bit tempremental - but we've a proper count of the numbers on the site so CIN will get the cash, we're just trying to make it match up on facebook (we can only test properly once live and people have started to do it)
