Fillers, fillers, fillers!!! Everyone Learns IT Eventually

Back in January Aau asked what this site/thread meant to you..well I was going to write something then but wanted to save it till today and here's why.

5 years ago I made the biggest mistake of my life(well that's what I thought then) I took out a 20 grand loan for a friend,a friend who I trusted with my life,a friend I thought would never let me down,I was wrong she did let me down.when this first happened I thought I was going to lose everything ,I had to find an extra £350 a month, I couldn't tell anybody,I thought I had let my family down and felt suicidal,thought it would be easier if I was gone and everything would work out better for them. It wasn't easy . In the end I came clean to what had happened to my partner and this is when I came to this site looking for ways to save money. First I swapped bills and cut things we could do without then I found grabbit and then the coupon page.then came the Dtd ..I didn't pay much attention to it first as I didn't understand it..then I kept seeing it get bigger so popped in for a look,well i am glad I did, I don't think I did as well as a lot of people but I did enough to save a lot of money and keep us going.when this ended I didn't realise you had all set up here so went back to other ways of saving money and then I think this thread appeared on the grabbit page and I thought hmm looks interesting and have never left..I think I lurked quite a while before posting as most major supermarkets were a good travelling distance away I felt I had nothing to contribute. Of course then there was the big A glitch which not only helped us but really set us on our way for having extra treats.
Without having found this site and you guys our life over the last 5 years would of been completely different, it would of been unbearable instead so much has happened over the five years and for the better. Not only have I been able to treat my family i have been able to treat others and give donations to charity and gifts to strangers.i was even able to send my boys on a trip last month,something I wouldn't of been able to do if it wasn't for everybody on here.
It's not only the bargains and money saving it is the posts that make you laugh,smile ,cry its all that that sometimes just pulls you through the day.

Well today I have made my last payment of my loan and feel like a weight has been lifted.

So a massive thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone here who posts , without you and others life could of been very different xxxx

Hello, Is there a multibuy in store on the mouthwash that the APG does not pick up on, or does it just compare well? Thanks!

I don't think it will work as it's online only, don't think you can do part payments with the DVLA.

Good thinking though as it would have been handy.

I was thinking about doing it in person in the Post Office rather than online

And I bet he'll still keep it in his back pocket! That's where my OH keeps his. I've managed to take his without him noticing when we've been out a few times to make a point that anyone could get it. And where does he keep it now.. The same place!
