    Actually I'd call it Dosh and Disability, and leave 'moneysaving' out - it is inplicit in the word Dosh - and on a moneysaving site, that would be sufficient, I think.
    I'm a retired employment solicitor. Hopefully some of my comments might be useful, but they are only my opinion and not intended as legal advice.

    Hey everyone, as you can see I've moved this thread to the new board.

    There are some really good tips on here though. If everyone that posted them would like to re-post them as an individual discussion thread so people can discuss each one separately that would be great!

    Andrea :)

    Until we have one....should we use this thread as the disabled/long term illness money saving board?

    ...thread number 1, lol - I can't hold a telephone properly/often or for long - does anyone knw where I can get a headset telephone from?

    Don't know how I missed this one but I do know the answer to this as I use a headset myself so I'll do a search and post it up later.

    I'm sure Martin will post up a "welcome" thread once he has time after filming today but meantime if you pop any ideas into this thread of threads you have seen about the boards or other suggestions like the above then it would be helpful for the other board guides if you feel they would be useful in this board.

    Hi hm71

    Would you mind posting that tip as a completely new thread. That way it's less likely to get lost amongst other posts on this thread.

    Thanks!
