    Hey guys
    sorry i havent been here for ages, I reaaaaaaaally fell off the wagon and have even been spending my savings, I am so dissapointed with myself. :(
    I really want to get back into the MSE ways but its not working because loads of stuff has happened and I have just lost some of my drive which is so so lame.

    I think we should reawaken this thread and all become regular posters again!!

    Yes, we need to bring the thread back!

    Bar my savings I'm majorly off the wagon too, spending far too much and keep on saying 'I'll do better next week' never happens! Also bought Richie a laptop for his birthday, and just got a new bed = new bedding. It never ends! I think we all need to give eachother a shove in the right direction!
  • Ater being insurered with Direct Line for a number of years, I took your advise and shopped around for a better deal, I have now saved over £100 in insurance. A couple of people at work have done the same thing, I feel Direct Line are trying to rip people off due to their owners RBS being short of money.

    It was, I'm old now! I had a great day thanks.

    Savings have majorly gone down, bought my Pashley on Saturday (After saving 1k, I should add!) Was nice to buy something properly without borrowing money off of my parents. Still going on with the savings - aiming for £50 a week!

    Hope you're well Tink!

    Good Luck with your challenge :T
    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.
