    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.
  • Great thread, great idea, this will prob encourage a lot of people get rid of thier depts when read about other people getting shut of thiers.

    I have had a CC for about 20 years, never been below £500 was paid off 2 months ago, and the scissors went through the card like a knife through butter, never again..

    Got offered a job on Friday. It will be so good to have a permanent job. I have been temping for about 3 years and it was getting me down. I will be able to budget properly - oh the joy!
