Saving for a place of my own: Starting over
Hi, this isn't my first time writing a saving diary here. In 2013 I wrote here about my quest to save a deposit and move out of my parent's house. I worked hard and saved a nice little sum but then everything went a bit wrong. I had some medical issues (anxiety and panic attacks) which meant I had to leave my job. I didn't…

The 3 year plan

We currently live in a house owned by my husband and his cousin (weird, I know). His cousin lives in London at the moment and has no plans to return "home" - which is good. However, I…

Should I save?
Hello I have been reading some articles about saving on MSE and I am surprised to see that its not always a good idea to save when you have debt.

Fed Up with First Utility.......
Signed up to F.U. last May through Uswitch for both gas and leccy.
