Dear All who use this board.
I've been lurking here for quite some time (years) and this is my first post.
After 5 years of being in debt to the tune of around £25000 due to divorce and a vindictive ex, yesterday i made the final payment on my outstanding debts.
I just like to thank you all for the invaulable help and ideas on how to save money, pay off debt and still actually have a life.
So to celebrate i'm off to the pub on friday night with my long suffering mates who have had to put up with me telling them about this board, (some of whom have actually paid attention and followed my/your advice), to buy them a few beers.
Cheers to all of you

20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)0 -

Well done, £5000 a year knocked off is not easy feat to tackle.Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.
There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies0 -
