    could have done with them for the james bond one-actually the funniest bit about that is when we were dreesing up the car tying all the toy cats on the roof rack,next doors cat came out the house and nearly had a heart attack!! i think he thought we were tying all his friends to the roof and he was next, he stretched himself right up the back of the car to have a look on the roof-it was priceless. He soon ran off later when he saw me and my mate dressed up as cats though lol

    ok-this is a bit of an odd idea but couldnt you get some sort of big outdoor run -like they have for dogs? i know it would be expensive but cheaper than a house!

    The problem is my balcony is tiny. I have already enclosed that and thats all i have. I dont actually have a garden or anything (otherwise i woudl just enclose that).

    Not an odd idea at all, just wish i could do it.

    Sorry-i thought you had a garden-hmmm thats me out of ideas then, looks like you have done all you can at the mo, is there any chance you could find a flat with a garden? i suppose they arent easy to find for the same rent youre paying.

    Ufnortunately because im a council tenant i get rent that is very very cheap. I would be able to find a 1 bedroom flat for at least double what i pay now. It may be an option when i am debt free, as even then it would be better than where I am.

    I think decesions will come in the New Year. :D Stoopid cats! :rotfl:

    I want right now (but won't get either for some time, or ever)

    1. Bank statements with figures that end in cr.
    2. To own my own home (a lovely Borderoak cottage in a leafy village would be best, but I'm willing to compromise for the sake of speed).
    3. A nice boyfriend that's keen to see me, look after me and generally be all lovely and nice and think I'm marvellous.
    4. To fit in size 8 jeans, comfortably.

    I'll happily settle for any two of the above btw, if i could get them before my 27th birthday.

    Hmmmm difficult-personally i would stay where i am coz you will be able to save up quicker then for your house but then i dont have cats so i cant know what it means for you to have a garden for them.

    I'm hearing you there-although it would be nice if i could fit into size 14 jeans comfortably never mind 8!!!
    I dont think number 3 exists ;-)

    Damnit. I had hoped that the money saving would help me lose a bit of weight, but my daily addiction to office biscuits isn't helping at all. I'm actually only a size 10/12 with aspirations, and I've probably got an issue there somewhere, but hey, one thing at a time and I've chosen debt!

    So, no men like that exist eh? There go all my hopes and dreams!
