  • Hi New Peeps!

    Didn't want you to think you had been missed, but after a hectic evening of Lost-watching (So confuuuuuused!) and forum-reading I'm about to turn off the laptop and play some PlayStation with t'other half.

    f_f

    I'm confussed as well - am trying to watch Season 4 all the way through and then watched Lost last night and didn't know where I was!!! DD and I have been playing catch-up as she had the Season 3 and Season 4 box sets for her birthday at the beginning of April. Its great to watch them one after the other and no annoying adverts. All while eating yummy chocolate :EasterBun

    Love your new name for this challenge - I am thinking about joining to clear the amount we have spent for this year's hols. My birthday is in July and we are going away for a week around my birthday. It would be nice to have a clean slate before we go.

    Hi Purple,

    I took your advice and I am now 28 years old, slim, blonde and beautiful.:T:j:T:j It definitely works this hypnotism lark.

    Oops, nearly forgot. I'm also debt free and very rich.!;)

  • Nope that didn't work ooooh! all I get is the preview box at the top with what I first put in!
    Never mind there is always tomorrow. I'm nothing if not persistant or some otherthings he mutters under his breath such as the nickname of "The Yorkshire Terror(terrior)" cos I'm small and yappy!

    The abacus has produced a figure of 2s 6d so I'm going to pay £10 instead towards the DFB

    Thanks for posting this flying fresian. It made me do some sums and work out that I will be 50 in 56 months, and that to clear my current debt by then I need to pay roughly £620 a month. That sounds do-able - and motivating and I'm going to adopt it as a personal goal. Thank you!
