How did you meet him Snaggs, and how old are his kids?
Is he still wearing a wedding ring?
...Linda xxIt's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.0 -

sally~If you pay off one more debt is that you left with 1`?
It sure is Beanie...its the biggie though and see no way of paying it off other than through the DMP so it will be a while. I won't have any extra coming in to put away so really am going to have to cut right back now...does make me feel sick and I hate not having a little nest egg for emergencies!I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....

You have got to be joking...:rotfl: I have had a leak for about 2 years and all the cabinets are warped...the dishwasher doesn't work.....the fridge is second hand....not worth a bean.
however i have really got to ebay some stuff to help towards the bill. Still trying to figure out what to do with my exhaust...but will do that next week.
Next week will be emptying the kitchen of crap!
Sammy, your exhaust, as its for a 'sporty' Clio ( Megane?) visit your local newsagents and take down the names of the 'boy racer' mags ( Max Power www.maxpower.co.uk , Revs etc ) then stick a classified in online.
You'll get a better chance of a good price.
:D stay wonky :D

You really couldn't make up my love life!! :wall:
I think ( being the harbinger of doom here :rotfl:) that the older we get, the more probability of a hassle/baggage/'someone else in the background'-free 'serious' relationship lessens as each year goes by.
Early 20s - the majority of people are either single or in the first flush of a serious relationship so it's simple - either be with someone, or just have fun - it's when the 30s hit and wobbles start to appear in relationships - women seem to have their mid-life crisis in their early-mid 30s, try and find someone who has all the qualities lacking in their long term partner or they go on a mad baby-finding mission.
Men in their early 40s - it's then their turn to wobble and have the mid-life crisis/find an 18 year old/buy a red Porsche :rolleyes: and by then we're all sooooooooo fooked up either emotionally, financially or there's a psycho ex on the horizon at every turn, then it's time to turn to religion and become a nun or monk (or just think - fook it, let's see what happens
) :rotfl:
Bet you wish I'd stayed in diary corner now :rotfl:"Stay Wonky":D
