Tell me more, about what it can do??

It can track all your accounts, credit cards, loans. It has a debt planner built in and a whole host of other features.
Have a look here: http://www.microsoft.com/Money/default.mspx

There is a free trial on there too

I use MS Money, I would struggle to cope without it!

Tell me about it..since I found this website and bought Ms Money (the best thing I ever bought) I've managed to get control over my finances and keep track of whats going on

Ms Money allows you to do the following:

- Keep Track of Money in Accounts (Bank, Savings, ISA, Pension, Stocks etc..)
- Schedule Bills (daily, monthly, yearly or on-offs)
- Plan your cash flow
- Set savings targets
- Reports - so you can see what you are spending your cash on.
- Set up budgets (with warnings).

And quite a few other things, but I use it for all the above. I'm sure there are other similar products out there like Quicken etc. but I think Ms Money is great.

The free trials say it's for US customers only...

The free trial seems to be for US only - the UK page for money is here:

It's too much for me is it not possible to get an older version anywhere or get a free trial in UK?

Keeval

You can't get a free trail as far as I know except for the US. The cheapest I found it was £20 on Amazon - You might try looking on Ebay for an older version which you might be able to get cheaper.

Do you know if the free trial would work here or do they block it somehow?

Keeval

I've never tried - I think it might work - but you would'nt be able to upgrade it to a full version, so if you did buy the full version at some point you would need to re-enter all your details, transactions etc.

No harm in trying though

I might do that-will report back to you
