Since there is no similar forum in Australia I've set one up.

I've literally just done this today so there will be a wee bit of finessing to do (once I figure out how to change a few bits!) and obviously I need LOTS of posts from you lovely people already out in Australia please to fill it up a bit.

Enjoy (and please feel free to PM me if you have an comments or constructive criticisms!!)

Looks great. Brilliant coincidence as we are restructuring ( :scared: ) at the mo. So come on folks, get your great ideas on the new board. Well done

bridiej

Thanks Heather.

Must admit, it's a bit nerve wracking, dont know why though!!!!

Good luck with your application

First of all, good idea, and good luck with your forum!

Secondly, I have a few general tips that I don't know where to put...

The first is a website(not forum) and especially the newsletter, called Simple savings. I think it's probably www.simplesavings.com.au
Registering for the newsletter is free, and if you become a member, you have acces to the 'savings fault'(I'm not a member).

Secondly, there's a book I'd like to reccomend called Making Money made Simple by Noel Whittaker(who writes for newspapers in Oz, talks on the radio etc). This book doesn't fall into one category, because it covers budgetting, mortgages, income tax, buying property etc etc.

Oh, and I was wondering, what about tips about shopping (like groceries) etc?
(I've never seen this uk forum, so don't know how that works and how similar it is to this one you've set up )

I think it's a great idea, and I've joined! I've probably got lots of tips, but to actually remember them....!!

Have sent you a PM!

Ok, so it has a chit chat section as well!

I think I didn't see that because I wasn't registered yet!

Right, of to make my first post!!


Arghhh!! As if I wasn't on forums enough! At least this one will be very usefull!!

The best place to get cheap loans/credit cards etc is:


Well worth a look.

You can't see the chit chat section unless you're registered.

Nice one. Shame we can't "hear" Martin Lewis rattling away the advice at 500 words a min

Hope it takes off with useful info. It might be worth adding a more definite legal disclaimer in your "please read first" bit. Don't want anyone giving grief in years to come and blaming you.

bridiej

I know, I will miss Martin's dulcet tones!

I will def reword the disclaimer,going to do some research on best way to word it!

Excellent site Bridie good luck with it

Hello Bridie

Is this chit chat section anything to do with the "gecko thread" or what you ladies like to do ?

How's your snow?
