Huge Thanks To MSE, what a site!!!

I am a newbie on this site and have to say what an eyeopener its been. When ur in debt there's not much you can do except live with it and try and claw your way out. My OH and I been trying for many years now. But I have now found MSE and have been well impressed at the information u can get. No longer do u feel as if ur the only one in the position.

I feel positive for the first time in years that we can now get out of debt and have a better quality of life whilst we do it. :A

I have set targets for next year for a free holiday from tesco, free xmas courtesy of cashback sites the odd treats coming courtesy of survey sites and pigsback. As well as free samples etc :j

In the short months I have been watching this site I have made £250 at quidco, few pound of other cash back and survey sites, £20 boots vouchers from pigsback and money off the tesco shopping. :j

I cant do too much about my debts but thanks to this site I can increase the money that comes in for not really much effort and no debts for this or next xmas.

Huge thanks to MSE and all its posters :beer:

  • Thanks peeps but not ready for SOA but I can say I watch with interest other peoples SOA and learn from it. My biggest thing this year was I was able to increase my earnings by getting a good job. Did cleaning (nowt wrong with that) for many years cos daughter was young and it fitted in with OH hours. Am now maybe getting promotion and feel really good and my confidence is growing. I am really so impressed with what I have learned from this site it really has given me some new angles to make the most of and that is fully what I intend on doing. :p

    I turned 40 last year and I decided then life was going to get better and I truely believe it has and is going to get even better. Bit cheesy :rotfl::rotfl:
