    Well, I have joined this board & decided to actually open my eyes & deal with my debt :)

    I also:

    - Switched my energy supplier, saving £140 a year & also get free air miles plus green electricity from new supplier (& £15 cashback!)
    - Rang my phone & broadband supplier & negotiated a much better deal, saving me £13 a month plus get extra free calls & faster connection now
    - Got treated to a coffee & chocolate brownie by my friend, so had a nice afternoon in the sun with free yummy food & drink!
    Proud to be a moneysaver :)

  • I got my son some football boots of ebay, he has started a 6 week course and when I went to watch him he was sitting in the goal mouth (as goalkeeper) facing the goal net (not the oncoming mob of goal scoring mad mates) so I don't think he has grasped the whole idea yet so thought it better not to splash out on costly footwear (boots cost me 99p plus £1.50 P&P can't be bad).
