I haven't looked at the site in a couople of weeks and have so totally fallen off the moneysavings wagon ...
I noticed the Lent challenge and I'm up for it! So, is it too late to join?

I have no signature yet as this is my VERY FIRST post - see how excited I am?

Welcome chrisd27 :T
Of course, it's not too late, Lent lasts til the beginning of April and I've got a sneaky feeling that most of us will probably carry on somehow after that. I know I will!

Just one word of warning Once you start posting, you'll get addicted

Got onto this thread from the newsletter emailed from MSE this morning. I think it's such a brilliant idea that I've just registered purely to participate. This website is going to be my new hobbie. Thanks everyone for your tips ... i'm starting this today as it's payday and this month's going to be a long one!

Keep up the good work.

ps. must work out how to add a sign off (and all the terminology!!)

On the top of the forum or any thread you'll find a bar which says 'Main Site' 'Chat' 'User CP' etc.... Click on User CP and you'll see the control panel on the left. Click on 'edit signature' and get creative!

I've just been checking our online bank account....something i do quite a lot. DH must have just withdrawn £20.00 as it was showing up. I text him to ask what he's spent it on. Now he thinks us DFW have mystic powers! I didn't tell him that i'd seen it on the bank account - I like the idea of him thinking I know everything he spends!
