    I think my next car will be no car :rotfl:. I was talking to my brother about giving him mine if I move to London in the next few years, I really don't think I can afford to run a car anymore :(.

    Morning Lilmiss,

    I really need to start with scratchcards, must sign up!!!!! 5 day weekend, you lucky thing. I woke up today thinking it was Saturday, but no its Friday, damn.

    My polite poster on my thread thought i needed a reality check? am i really THAT bad? i don't waste lots of money, i don't put anything on my credit card, i'm slowly paying off my debts. I can take criticism, but when somebody is a little bit too harsh its another matter. By the number of posts, shes probably a well known person on the forum, i guess my reply is not a way to make friends, but i don't really care, as childish as the sounds i really don't think i need a reality check for having a few nice holidays before settling down.

    See my post above-but also I think you are doing things in the right order, better have your hols now and get it out of your system before settling down. You're debts nearly gone anyway-if you were £20.000 then i'd prob be agreeing with whastherface but it's not-so i'm not :-)
