Anyone fall off the Wagon whilst the forums have been down?

Hey everyone. Im sure if you enjoy visiting this site daily, or many times a day, I'm sure you will have noticed the devastating attacks that took place against the site, which took away the precious forums for a good 3 days at least!

Just a quick forum for anyone who might have fallen off the wagon so to speak in money terms, without the continuing support and encouragement on offer on these forums.

I have certainly found it hard without the site, and without being able to read through the forums on here, It made me realise how often I come one here, and how dependant I am!

Hope nobody has had too much of a major problem as a result.

Kindest Regards to all of you.

Pay day tomorrow so here we go again ;)

  • I had a MAJOR debt problem over the weekend concerning Brighthouse and my OH's account, goons at the door, and them trying to trick my son(13) and his friend(12) into telling them something that wasn't true by telling him he would probably lose all his stuff if he didn't tell him the answer.

    I sooooooooooooo missed the support i get from this site. I don't think these @$$holes realise what they have done to other people NOT just to MSE itself.

    Yes, I went shopping for fabric to make a Haloween outfit (call me Arachne, goddess of spiders lol) but it wasn't cheap - had to buy a pattern, material, bias binding...

    £80 lighter in pocket and a stunning outfit later... I ruined it all by falling asleep at the party on Saturday night!
