Weezl and friends Phase 3

A question about : Weezl and friends Phase 3

Hello!

A new thread is required title=Smile

We have a new launch and some brave new testers.

A summary of the story so far, a few pals on MSE old style wanted to create a resource for those who are struggling with debts too big for them.

We knew that often one of the bits of advice on DFW is to drastically cut your food budget.

alton towers clubcard reward vouchers

A question about : alton towers clubcard reward vouchers

Hi,

can anyone help me figure this out?!
I've saved up enough tesco clubcard vouchers (Ј46) to exchange for the days out reward tokens at alton towers.
I'd like to buy 4 tickets - 2 days for 2 adults.
what I need to know is will my partner be able to use the tickets because they all get printed in my name?
or is the clubcard deal only any good for one person?

thanks all.

What is 'being MSE'

A question about : What is 'being MSE'

I've been a MSE member for just over 6 months, and in that time I've enjoyed the community part of the forum, got myself some advice, and hopefully made a few helpful suggestions based on a lifetime working in the financial sector, and just a lifetime of living.

My main financial driver is to make the most of the money that I have to enjoy life now and to prepare for an early retirement in about 3 years time.

However, I often see the the phrase 'it's not exactly MSE', usually deployed when someone spends some money.

Emma's House Deposit Journey

A question about : Emma's House Deposit Journey

Hi all,

I thought I would start a diary to try and keep me motivated.

I'm 23 and live with my parents. Me and my boyfriend have been together for 5 and half years and are now looking at moving in together. To do this, I want to save for a deposit in order to be able to own my own house.

I currently have Ј500 saved and am looking for new ways to save money, as little as it may be. Any money I save by using vouchers or winning on SwagBucks, I am going to put the equivalent amount into my savings account.
