    Thanks for the nudge Beanie, gave BC and A&L calls and it seems the payment may have not gone because it's the weekend... I'm sure I've done them at the weekend before but it should go tomorrow. BC have no problems receiving any amount.

    Feeling strangely positive as we head towards the new year, maybe it's a feeling of new beginning and all that but does feel like I'm finally heading in the right direction. I'm really looking forward to a few days off work at the moment...

    Good to see you are feeling positive about the future, you have taken control back and can see an end to the debt. 2009 will be a good year:beer:

    ...............maybe even a little romance;)
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    could I have a lot of romance please? I've been ever so good... one of the things making me keep men at arm's length was the debt so once that's gone I might be a bit more receptive - if only I could remember how to flirt....:rolleyes:

    more good news - skirt very baggy around the waist today that used to be tight only a few weeks ago!:T

    Its fab isnt it, I managed to get into my skinny black trousers which almost cut me in two last time I tried them on:p People are also commenting that I look well:D

    I will give you flirting lessons if you like;) , just tell a bloke he reminds you of someone handsome and your in there.
