    Sadly not too much better, was really struggling pre-programme; sitting on a seat for the rehersal. On the main programme a combination of paracetomol, adrenalin and make-up makes me look a lot better than I was. Very very very glad its over and I made it through. Am thoroughly exhausted now!

    Well, you did look better, Martin - now, I suggest you take it easy this long weekend :D Or at least try to.

    Until later then!

    Well done Badger Lady, great feature!

    I've registered for my local freecycle group already.

    Get well soon Martin
    Thanks for the advice Martin! :money:

    Hooray! Thank goodness for the repeat... unfortunately none of my family can watch it because they live in France :( Never mind...

    Thanks also to my blonde friend who was (very briefly!) filmed coming to my front door to pick up a phone :rotfl:. And, of course, to my cat Tufter, who modelled the scratching post beautifully!

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Badger-think you were a great advert for freecycle. I know my friends find it mad that I get free items from local strangers!

    OH, a non MSEr, watched with me-his first time. He enjoyed it as a whole, but felt there were too many hand gestures ;) and wanted to see the Tre section extended as it always shocks him just how much one person can save in so short a time.

    And I also enjoyed Martin and Lara sitting in a tree...

    Hope they don't make a note on Lara's details though. Just picture it next year as she tries to batter her costs...

    hello. give me a cheaper deal please.

    ***evil laugh from company*** you've been on national tv stating you have to keep us as your provider, goodbye. :rotfl:

    I'm a bit confused about the free texting. Most people are on contracts so their texts would be free anyway wouldn't they? I'm not, I am on PAYG and spend about £5 a year! Would the Vyke thing work with PAYG, as at present my texts are 12p each, so my £5 would probably last two years! :D

    I used Vyke on T-mobile - cost me 1p a text from vyke and 2p a text data useage from T-mobile before my current problems.

    It will not work since I finished free trial and paid £10 top up to Vyke + £4 downloading updates - they are ignoring my requests for refund and Moneysavingexpert are still recommending Vyke despite my email warning them of my concerns.

    I trusted Martin Lewis and feel very let down!:mad:

    Great episode.
    I'm currently using free credit from Virgin mobile, ended up with 5 sims with £5 on each one but most of the time I text whilst on the laptop so I'll now be using the free online texts to do it which will save my free credit :T

    Tempted to go for a cashback deal on a contract phone. I finished on one last year with Carphone Warehouse, only 99p per month for 12 months with a free phone and I think it was 200 mins and 200 texts (max of 200 texts rollover each month too). Haven't found one as good since.
  • FREECYCLING; Well done Badger_Lady! Freecycling is GREAT! I would hate anyone to be put off by the amount of mail in your inbox they were talking about- you can change your settings to only getting a weekly update or no mail at all-and just go to the site to have a look.

    It was the only "downside" we could think of, and it had to be a "balanced report" :rolleyes: . I think it's fairly obvious, though, that the upsides outweigh the downs... :p
