    I had a quick go on the bingo and opened a saving account and got £56.

    Utilities are next on my list.

    Nothing to add except a great big HELLO from me, and congrats on your positive attitude & great start.

    PS If you thought Lidl's was impressive wait till you see the grocery challenge :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Well done for 'ranting' on this site.
    I had my last big spend in February, when I took the family to New York on my CC. Had a greatest time. This kids will never forget.
    Just started my DMP and will be clear in 2015.
