    Now, now then. We must desist from this constant hectoring of SS. He had a problem. He bought car mats. He admitted it in public and has probably joined his local branch of CMA.

    Can we all forgive this crime against DFW-ness and leave the poor chap alone now? It took guts and courage to admit to what he did.

    Here endeth the sermon.

    Absolutlely.

    I'll probably join in with you tomorrow. This "being kind to SS" doesn't suit me.

    I listened to Martin on Friday & really enjoyed the programme. I hope lots of newbies will find their way here & benefit from the wealth of advice, info & support this fantastic site has to offer :)
    I cannot say how very grateful I am to Martin for starting this site nor how thankful I am that I discovered it! :)
    Its hard to explain but I feel my life is in 2 parts now, pre MSE & post MSE, does that make sense? :)
    When I signed up I was dealing not only with the debts but the loss of alot of people close to me in a short space of time & I'd hit rock bottom & had severe panic attacks & depression. I sent a pm to Martin not expecting a reply but he took the time to write back & it meant the world to me & I turned a corner. :)
    Thanks to this site it is the first year in my adult life that I have not taken on more debt but paid alot off through CCCS & extra payments, our income has increased, ds3 is going on his first holiday ever in 2 weeks time & has been overjoyed at his shiny new trampoline delivered on Friday from the family fund :) There are just too many things to mention how our lives have improved since joining MSE. :)
    I just sincerely wanted to say thank you Martin & to all the fantastic people on here who contribute, you are all amazing :T:T:T

    I echo the above Martin...on a serious note WAS somewhat concerned for your safety though as people start claiming cherges, DFWs spreading the word...can't believe the banks will take it well? Just let us know if you need bodyguards & we'll send Scottish scouser to look after you!!
