Hi, welcome to my Blog, while the site’s articles have all the key MoneySaving info; this is my space to muse on a wider collection of topics; life, money, being in the media and more. Feel free to read or ignore!

Spitting Teeth

Now there’s something you have to understand. The website isn’t just my baby, I sort of feel linked to it. Today after doing Radio 2’s Jeremy Vine show on mobile phones, the traffic was huge and the site crashed.

Yet it didn’t just crashed, it got damaged and it’s been down all afternoon on one of the busiest possible days. For me this is dreadfully frustrating, lots of new people wanted to save money for the first time, are getting nothing, thinking the site doesn’t exist. And the problem is very few will come back.

I left Money Saving towers this afternoon both because there’s nothing I can do, and because I’d kicked the kick box so many times, and sat in the corner making grrrrrrrr noises. Very very very annoying. As I write the site is still down, it makes me want to despair!
