  • Hmm, I'm not sure about taking out a new debt in order to have 'savings', it would put your total back up. Personally I'd rather clear the debt first. Your way just seems to messy for me, I'd rather know where I was.

    The talk of ISAs go right over my head! I just sit here, head to one side, vacant.

    Me too Cinny, I've got an ISA but hardly even look at it and the thought of having accounts all over just hurts my head!

    Glad you're looking forward to all the dresses because you'll be getting them whether you like it or not LOL!
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Lol. Nice image of your Friday nights Cinny!

    Someone at work brought in chocolate orange cookies and the most solid refridgerator cake in the world today, would look wierd if I had half a cookie wouldn't it?! Whole cookie = too long on the cross trainer!

    Did you not know that broken cookies have no calories because they all fall out when it breaks.
    It's just like the 10 second rule, if something falls on the floor and you pick it up within 10 seconds it has no germs on it.
    Both rules are completely true :D
