    My son has MSE as his homepage and lurks on DFW quite a lot, but I'm not sure he posts. (He quite often reads a bit out and suggests I post a reply though.) He's 20.

    Love Jacks xxx :D

    I'm 21!

    I've just graduated from uni this year. My main debt is my graduate overdraft, but having to move (paying the rent up front for 12 weeks) I'm into a different overdraft, one that charges interest! lol. But that should be gone by February or before.... hopefully!

    Most of my debt was from uni, and buying crap off ebay lol. I forgot my overdraft was supposed to last me longer than the first term lol.
