I'm swithering between french and spanish... did french at school and enjoyed it but did a wee bit of spanish at night school and that was fun too... actually seeing as it's all just for fun I could always do one this year and then do the other the next...:D
Learn Spanish as it will give you South and Central America as well as the southern USA...

You can go to Canada if you speak English. In fact it might be better if you can't speak French very well. The French Canadian accent is *well* different from the French accent..."Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)

At least there wasn't the "t" word and the "c" word...
Besides, you need to be more worried if it was your mother in the car..."Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)

not a LSD today - I bought some jeans for ME!!! not DS but me! currently a size 13 I'm fed up of some jeans that are too big and others that give me a muffin top so hopefully these will do the job until I lose some weight. Also got a pretty scarf from Mr T and some school trousers for DS but used points for those. I think all DS needs for going back to school is a new bag so very organised for once!
Had nice day out at a castle and a walk on the beach both free so not too spendy...Mortgage OP 2025 £6200/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
