    Well me, welcome to the forum, and I'm glad I'm cheering you up. Whereabouts in Lincolnshire are you? I'm Scunny, didn't think it was a real place until I moved here.....It's going to be a tough road ahead, but we'll all get there eventually.

    Course, we'll spend a lot of time pulling SS out the service station game areas, listening to the chorus of 'Are we nearly there yet?' from Molanole, jessiecamb and dottyanne - not to mention dealing with Mrs Sparkle's roadsickness and McBirnie needing the loo 2 minutes after we set off............

    Still, it's going to be fun, and as it's my blog I get to choose the music. All together now - 'We all going on a cheap summer holiday, no more debts for a liftime or two.....'
    This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!

    yay! Come on Debt Assassins, climb aboard the DebtMobile - Heated seats, expensive car mats and those handy cup holders you only get on cars worth more than the National Income.

    Well, got a bit of a shock just, the shop I was looking at in Grimsby would suit perfectly - except it's £77k a year!!!!! :eek: :eek: :confused:

    Wonder why these companies let these places sit empty for years rather than accept a lower rent? I'm not rushing into anything though, must find the perfect shop. There's a nice little one that's in a great place, but it's just soo small for what I want to do. May considder that though, it's big enough for what I want without some of the 'add ons' like dress making patterns and craft stuff. What do y'all think?

    Whatamess - I know, shall have to crawl now and tell The Ultimate MSE Nerd I was a naughty Obi and I should be put in the dungeon with the Stupid% store cards, and carol vorderman.

    Please, no carol.....put the broccoli juice down, and step *away* from the mung beans......and no I don't want a consolidation loan at a daft percentage secured on my home, thanks.

    Suppose it depends on what stuff has the biggest turnover.
    But if you can do it go for it.:D

    Is Grimsby far from where you are?:confused:
    Would you be able to sell your current one with the redevelopment threat hanging over it.:confused:


    Is the room for one more on the Debtmobile? :D

    Better help ali clean up before ss comes round.:rotfl: :rotfl:
