I thought i had a busy life!! Dedication - you should be in the guiness book of records or at least a mention in the new years hons list, for public services for everyone. This site is a tonic and better than the NHS, for an instant pick me up.so make sure you dont get ill.

Can I have a share in MoneySaving Productions? Please.

ID fraud is a fallacy. It should be classed as financial fraud and the victims should be those who hand over the cash. If I eat a meal in a restaurant and another diner says to put his meal on my tab, surely it's up to the restauranteur to check with me that I would be agreeable. It shouldn't be possible for the restaurant to demand, after the fraudster has left, that I prove why I shouldn't pay.

you do A LOT and to a standard that is VERY VERY HIGH, so it is not surprising that you find yourself running on empty. It's hard enough keeping up with you so being you must be like a 100m sprint 24/7. What can we say to make this better, apart from a million thankyous and try speaking a little slower so you don't frazzle your brain circuitry.

Martin,

Congrats on the new TV show. I've read on the Guardian website that it has been confirmed for the Winter 2008 schedules. It was the main headline to the article as well.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media has more details but you will need to register to he site before you can read the article.

Best of luck with the show.

Its great to see that you are busy as it is a sign of how successful you and your ventures have become. I only stumbled across this site recently but i can see why it has so many dedicated fans. More power to you and to all MSE converts!

What a busy time you have ahead, Martin. Your health is your wealth so make sure you take a good multivitamin and mineral, sufficient sleep (at least 6 hours a night), and if you can't manage to have a sit down meal and are eating on the hoof all the time, try and have plenty fresh fruit/veg or juices etc. Stress is good up to a point, but too much and you'll burn yourself out and you won't be able to do anything. Treat yourself to a trip to a spa or something to help you relax over your weekends. During the week you could try 10 minute powernaps, Richard Branson does this to increase his productivity and keep himself going...

Good luck with your mammoth workload in the New Year.

Wow - what a busy bee! It all sounds really exciting though, so I wish you good luck with it - and the hope that you get good weekends off to refresh & relax as need be. Don't take on too much at once though! Hey hang on, I want a MSE tv show and regular column and and and...so ignore that, take it all on! . We all luff you to bits. x x

(apart from a couple of odd people who seem to be on their own personal wavelengths, eh?!?)

I think it's time to see if you can get a clone, Martin! Have a quick search in the forums for money off and free postage though
