    I found the site when looking for money saving ideas and eventually saw the comps part. I wasn't used to computers etc so it took me a while to realise there was more than one page of comps! :o
    Took me a long time to find the Inn too and went into the Arms once by mistake and wondered where all the peeps I'd been speaking to had gone.

    I found MSE when I was looking for benefits advice as I was in an abusive relationship and agoraphobic and in a right state! Got slated to pieces and remember one particular poster being very helpful and we're still friends to this day. :D

    I found the comps board when I was randomly browsing down the boards one day. Much like how I found the Arms.:rotfl:
