    just out of interest, are you going to mention to those creditors left who you are trying to get f+f's from that you are 'leaving the country' so to speak?

    just wonder if it might help sway them?;)

    I hadn't thought of doing that to be honest. Part of me just feels I'm making them the same offer either way:(.

    On a money saving note - using the "free" postcards from Vista Print offer as our invitations for the leaving party. So 100 invites paying postage only :D.

    The venue hire cost has been gifted to us as we know them really well - only the buffet and DJ to pay for:j.

    i don't know if it is a good thing to do or not - but thought they might be more likely to accept if they know you will be 'out of the country' and harder to contact (plus it will cost them more in postage lol:p)

    ahh never mind, thank u anyway :)

    Good idea to tell them you are leaving, without specifying where ;) they are more likely to say yes i reckon as it will cost them what they will lose on a f&f trying to trace you all over again! xx

    I might consider adding this into my letters.

    Could really do with a kip as I've had a 9 year old climbing all over me like a rash all night. However, still have to pack and try to square the house up before my 3pm departure. Back to nightshift:p.

    No bank this week but a couple to squeeze in the next week, then off to Heathrow Oz bound:j.
