  • It's not the fact she won't lend me the money, it's the point she led me on until the point of purchase. If she said at the start, "sorry im not willing to" it would have been fine.

    I had big dreams for 2009, what a start to the new year.
    Debts going!
    Car £[strike]7000[/strike] Now £0
    CC £[STRIKE]2100[/STRIKE] Now £0

    2014 Target;
    To overpay CC by £1,000.

    2nd Purse Challenge:
