Hi all,

I'm new in these parts (first post!)

Just wanted to pop my head round the door and say hi really!

Ooh virtual Jaffa Cake! Don't mind if I do! It'll stop me making a start on my lunch already... Damn job makes me hungry (probably should get back to it really... :rolleyes:)

Where's the best place to start on all this money malarky? I haven't got debt (except student loan, and I'm still using that!) but I am saving to go wander round the world for a year, doesn't seem to be a board for that!!

the new modern thick sexy paper is a piece of cake to hang apparently....!

Oh really? I am thinking of doing something similar in my living room - I love the colour in there (it's wallpapered, but it's a very neutral pale milky coffee/taupe colour), but Natasha drew on one of the walls, and I used one of those sponges to get it off, but it took some of the colour off too.

Maybe I will have a go, once I've finished my bedroom, the hall and staircase and the bathroom... _pale_

Hi Peekaboo - not sure to be honest - there is a savings board here:
http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/forumdisplay.html?f=17

A student board here:
http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/forumdisplay.html?f=25

or you can post in the debt free wannabe board and ask for suggestions on how to make your budget stretch here:

I am sure you'll find a forum that suits you.
Good Luck anyway - sounds fab.

What I did when I travelled was costed up the whole trip and broke it down into chunks of saving - so every £50 was another night in Hong Kong or two days in Aus...it really helped keep me motivated

There's a savings and investments board around somewhere too if you need an isa or something :cool:

Ok. I've phoned again.
I cannot be put through to a manager/supervisor as they don't do that. They have to request one to phone me. :mad:
This guy says the quickest way to get anywhere is to send the form back.
He did actually say 'which we appear to have lost'.

That is outrageous - can't you get a formal complaint in. I would also keep in contact with you MP. And I would contact Martin to let him how the benefits system that is supposed to help people is leaving you in poverty - oh and maybe the papers?
You need to find the strength to fight them - not easy I know but it is money you are entitled to.
Oh and how was Brownies last night? hope they managed to take your mind off things for a bit.
