    I only really started my diary as a motivator to make sure i didn't slip up and possibly also to purge. I wanted to make sure that i was dealing with everyhting, so when i come back to the diary, it's really just to update it. I am pretty well sorted now in terms of getting rid of the debt, but others may need help, so they take precidence over my thread. I don't post anywhere near as much as i used to but when i do i like to make sure that anyone i've offered advice to does not have any new queries and is okay.

    ~Bob you can go out with Porge. It would be better if he stayed my best friend anyway as you dont lose those.

    I think George may well have a bad opinion of me, i don't like sharing cups of tea or making them and i have just insinuated he is smelly..:rotfl::rotfl:
