Whats been your best advice of the year?

Options
Hi all,

I just wondered what has been the best advice, tool, pointers, support that you have received from the most supportive, helpful and wonderful forum on the net (not biased me no :p).

I think mine this year has been getting into matched betting with helpful and endless patience from hypno and pania (thanks guys).

There are some great people on this forum, so in the ever nearing time of peace and goodwill.... CHEERS :beer:

    The best thing I was advised to do was the Snowball Calculator. I honestly did not think that we would ever clear our debts until I put all the info in here. I am now bordering on obsessive with it!

    The best advice I was given was to stick around. It has been invaluable, both practically and emotionally.

    Thanks you guys xx

    Gosh, I have had SOOOO much good advice given on here this year, but I think I'll have to go for Hypno's advice to pack Jaffa Cakes in my hospital bag......much better than the cold, soggy toast they bring you!
