he is god he is god - seriously this site has been a god send for me and many others in sharing advise finding advise and support on so many matters not only helping dig one self out a hole of debt from how to, where to and so much more.

It is also a site once mentioned you find a group of strangers singing its and Martins praises to the point of obsession

sadly this sort of thing happens all over the net but for the most are in the minority and it is called the delete button before posting when we see red which we are all guilty of at one time or another

Yep, this place and the people has been wonderful for me. Unfortunately it becomes a bit addictive so i am trying to limit my time on here. Since i can't post during the day at work due to internet restrictions, which is a good thing, I only post evenings and weekends but now realise, I spend too much time.

Love the place and the people though and don't think i can give it up even when I am debt free, just need to spend less time on here and do something else for a change...like housework!

Just a shame the majority of the minority hit MSE when they are bored….


Obvious why, but still a shame

(ps- with all due respect, I am longer in the tooth than you give me credit for )
