    Try to cut down on what people owe you. If they go bust, then that's a problem for you too - the drop in work notwithstanding...

    Does it upset me ? - NO!

    It's all relative - as long as I don't sell my house then as far as I'm concerned it's worth the price all day long.

    I do get cross with Alis and Gordon tho, as they always smirk when talking - they are obviously lying !!!!!
