    Sammy is lovely - she sorts out the tax man for me:cool:

    I am sure my MSE chum isnt scarey but I don't really 'do' meeting people from fora:rolleyes: Anyway the 6.30pm deadline is fast approaching and his satnav says 19.45pm:eek: - personally I would ditch the satnav as they only take you the scenic route instead of down the M6 onto the M5 off and Junction 4 turn first left go straight along dual carriage way for about 4 miles (if that) go through 2 sets of traffic lights, turn left at the island continue along that road for a quarter mile go through next set of lights keeping in righthand lane and then indicate right just past the lights go into the cut through, turn back on yourself, go through the traffic lights again drive past the jobcentre and turn first left immediately past the telephone box and bob's your uncle:D Now a satnav would send you in all sorts of directions:rolleyes:

    OOh Horace..."awaiting your follow up report with bated breath" bump

    I have done a sort of moneysaving today. I have saved £281 :j

    No "sort of " about it Tixy...well done on saving a rather large amount of Wonga :j

    (Well OK I realise you might have had to actually BUY something to save the money....but it all counts ;))

    Tixy has written in code and I cannot read what is written :( Well done on saving all that cash too.

    Ah no MSE'rs will find their way as there are a thousand or so flats and you will only get to mine if you have my flat number and block number:D

    I have had the most gorgeous man in my flat - great sense of humour, great mate he loves tarts too and he went away with gifts: lakeland fresh herb keeper (I only use dried ones) and it was a freebie, a man's gadget, a trolly token, a stress ball, a packet of filter coffee, a vacuum mug, a bottle of salad dressing, some aftershave (a sample phial), some posh face creams that I will never use (the ones that the spa claimed are worth £75 but they are miniscule samples:eek:).

    I will be getting a collection of books when he is next passing plus I have agreed to take up bellringing again:cool:

    Hi everybody.


    Over the last few weeks we have had a number of "troll" attacks on the boards.

    What is a Troll? A troll is a person that posts deliberately provocative, nasty or hurtful comments on threads. They may be a person with no previous connection to the board or someone that has created a pseudonym to get their point made.

    If you should get a comment made on any thread you post asking for help and advice please realise this comment is not directed at you personally.
    We really are all a lovely bunch here (oops, modest, sorry) so please ignore these nasty comments and continue to post here as normal.

    what should i do if i get a comment made on my thread?

    firstly do not respond to the comment as this invariably is what the person wants. At the bottom of the post, on the left hand side is a red "warning" triangle. Click this and then "send" the message that comes up. This will report the message to abuse who will review it's content and delete it.

    The person we had this morning was particularly vile and nasty and please believe me is an extreme rarity here.
    Above all PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE BOARDS. THIS SITE IS AN ASSET TO SO MANY, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT FEELS THE WORLD IS FALLING IN ON YOU. THERE IS SUCH A WEALTH OF ADVICE HERE TO BE HAD THAT THE COMMENTS OF ONE MUST NOT DETER YOU FROM AVAILING YOURSELF OF THE KNOWLEDGE HERE!!!!

    It is testament to the work that martin has done and continues to do that so many people give their time knowledge and experience freely to others, without judgement, to lift people out of the depths of debt crisis

    PLEASE DO NOT LET THE ACTIONS OF THE MINORITY RUIN THAT.


    Kind wishes
    P

    Don't often get the chance to do the 'first bump' on a Friday evening.
    I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
    If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.
