    I have every admiration for you considering your age. please don't take that as offence, but I just mean you have a old head on young shoulders........hmmm not sure if that is any better but I hope you get what I mean.

    I'm currently in the thinking that I will never get debt free & it is giving me a fair few restless nights.

    Stories like yours help me realise I am not the only one out there with a debt problem & that there is a way out of it.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Ceri, thanks for your post, no offence taken! I don't always feel as young as my age (22), if you see what I mean. Sometimes I think I'll look back on my twenties and wish I'd been a bit more wild and reckless but in truth I like knowing I won't be in huge amounts of debt (cross fingers!).

    Thanks to all of you for your comments, nice to receive some messages of support :D

    He he! Well you were right first time, lady (last time I checked anyway!). But its a fair assumption when I say I had a female partner :)

    Edit to say: do those look like a man's hands on my avatar ;) :rotfl:

    So you're a lady who has a lady for a partner? How terribly cosmpolitan of you!

    Only joking...I am a boy who likes girls and boys, just for the record.

    Sorry everyone, didn't mean to turn this into a gay pride board :)
    The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics(sic) or cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities. We need men who can dream of things that never were.

    Well, not with her any more :j :rolleyes: but yes, terribly 'new' and 'different' hey?!

    Its nice that people on here aren't bothered (or don't say so), more than I can say for some of the population.

    Anyway... enough of that from me! Would be nice to reach a point where its not even worthy of comment but I'll settle for support ;):D
