Martin - since you have appeared on GMTV, one more person has taken notice of what you are saying and trying to take control of finances more. If you felt you were awful this morning, then think how good you are when you are on form !!!
Thanks to you I caught the last capped deal with British Gas today until end Dec 2009, which I am very pleased about. Thanks for shouting cap cap cap, and keep at it, you are making such a difference out here.:j :T0 -
well martin as it seems nearly 50% of the posters so far are posting for the first time then at least youve boosted your membership figures;):D0

I missed you on GMTV sorry, shame as I would have liked to see that.
I am so stressing over my electric, my last quarter bill was 161.00. I am with british gas and have one of those meter reading things and it shows how much electric I am using. It currently says 0.722 and the computer is on, fridges and freezers and 1 light, kids have lamps on, my average reading during the day when only the fridge and freezers are on is about 0.5?? or 0.6??. Over night it is 0.6??. I wsn't happy with paying 22p for the first 123 kw so looked into Southern Electric, which is dearer at 1464 p for the first 364 units. Have switched over to E-on tonight online with 15 pound cash back but their prices are 20.10 for the first 225. But it is capped till Oct 09. (rec by Martyn)
I am so confused can some one help me PLEASE.......

Worse things can happen (like the time I fell up a step into a bar and my skirt flew over my head....never did get over that)
I never saw the show, but if anything, if it was confusing then it probably just promted more people to come on here to find out what all the fuss is about. And once they're here....they'll get hooked like the rest of us."One day I realised that when you are lying in your grave, it's no good saying, "I was too shy, too frightened."
Because by then you've blown your chances. That's it."0 -

I walked the whole length of a hospital corridor once before a little old lady kindly told me my skirt was tucked in my knickers at the back:eek: :eek: never went back there and as a medical sales rep it was one of my biggest accounts but i just couldnt:rotfl: :rotfl: not my best MSE moment
Dont worry Martin things could be worse;)0 -
I didn't see the slot this morning, but don't beat yourself up Martin!
You really don't get much time to explain things, especially the more complex things like energy tarrif capping (which I have done btw, thanks very much!)
You've done so much for so many people, I'm sure you'll redeem yourself on your next slot!
Chin up son, you're a super star!

I think you were great trying to explain a complex issue. Ours is capped thanks to you, and we are busy directing everyone we meet to the site; so huge personal thank you - I dread to think where we would be without the site.

I never watch GMTV, or any telly during the day, but when I visited my mam tonight and my sisters were round. I remember your email and though they don't ever take any notice, I said that your advice was everyone should cap now. My mam said she'd seen you talking about it, and you'd certainly got your message across to her...There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.0

MARTIN I watched you yesterday morning on gmtv and to me you came
across just right, so much so I capped just in time yesterday afternoon. Yours a long term lurker.:T :beer:

Just mentioned on GMTV that Martin may be around after 9.00, so my friend I hope you got some sleep last night and didn't spend the night worrying about yesterday.
Breathe deeply and don't let the presenters put you off!0
