I discovered Martin only a short time ago, about 6 months, since then my whole thinking, saving money and scams (as my husband calls them) has drastically changed. I must speak about him everyday. My husband says that Martin has more say than him! I always try to follow his advice and it has paid off. My friends and family laugh as in conversations I often say "Martin said to do this today" they ask if he speaks to me personally! I have a sky plus box, quidco owes me £123 and I have got a rebate from my gas and electric company to make me stay put. However, today when I asked my husband if we could sign up for another year at the Gym (always good intentions) he said " Martin said if you haven't used it in the last month CANCEL! Well didn't that show me! Least he is listening to Martin as well. Well done Martin, it's a joy to watch you on the TV and even more of a joy to follow your advice, if you are ever passing Norfolk pop in for a cuppa, that'll give the old man something to talk about!

Welcome Jue123 to the forum.

I feel it sums up a lot of the views of many many MSE forum members.
I'm sure he realises how so many of us feel, and I really hope he reads your post.

Welcome to the site, jue123 :wave:

At least you know your husband is actually paying attention to the moneysaving advice too!
