Money Savers Arms
Last ooorders!… We’re sorry but for now, due to resources, we need to close the Money Savers Arms including Discussion Time.
It’s not easy to write this. We love the forum, but we also have a job to do to protect it, our users and MoneySavingExpert, and at the moment, with all our resources focused on Coronavirus information, and all the team at home, we don’t feel we have the resources to do a good enough job.
For four months, we’ve been struggling to cope with the huge volumes of messages we’ve been getting from Forumites – many of whom are in desperate and dire straits with their finances. The team have been working all hours to try and keep on top of it. At first we thought it’d be a short sharp spike, but it isn’t, it’s continuing, so we have had some difficult choices to make about prioritisation.
Unfortunately in, and likely because of, these stressful times, the Forum team have also been receiving an increasing number of complaints about posts made on the Money Savers Arms and Discussion Time. The team have done what they can to try and walk the tightrope of balancing all the various interests, but for now we need to draw a line under this and temporarily close this Board, so we can keep the key, MoneySaving boards – where people are supporting each other through this crisis - running smoothly.
We know this board is important to you, but as the MSE stance has been forbearance throughout this crisis, now we ask that of you. We’re sorry. Of course you can post on other boards, but we’d ask you to stick to the subjects of those boards, and not use them as a surrogate Money Savers Arms or Discussion Time. And as always please be kind and friendly to each other, especially any newbies.
Thanks
MSE Forum Team

Going to be one of those "not sure what I'll do today" days. Forecast says thunderstorms and rain, radar says the storms will miss me, sky is ominously black....I'll have to wait and see.
I really want to get out in the garden, I'm running out of summer and there's still lots to do out there but if rain does stop play I'll be forced to go to the shops and spend lots of money
Lovely here right now and hopefully it will last without getting either too hot or too wet later on.
Dad wants to get his garden jobs done as well but he is just not up to more than about 15 minutes at a time without needing 2 hours rest afterwards
The promised overnight thunderstorms never happened so I didn't have to hide from the noise :T
Hoping for a day's gardening/painting/electric cable laying outside today after yesterday's washout.
And yes, due to yesterday's rain I did indeed spend a load of dosh :shocked: :laugh:
morning all
