    Hi BJ,
    Of course i'm praising you, wouldn't dare to kick the other! And yes I've been out of debt for over two years now. I worried so much about paying it off I could feel my heart contracting (?). I wondered if that is in part what caused my heart problems which became apparent around the same time. So don't worry whatever you do!.
    I so love it here (dfw) that I haven't moved away! I make the occasional sortie over to old style but feel at home here.

    Hiya Verbatim, well done fabulous job, you must feel free as bird. The problem with me is, it doesnt worry me !!!! yes im sick of robbing peter to pay paul, running out of money and borrowing money to get by but it does not worry me at all. Not sure if that makes sense ????. And if i'll never worry about it, will i be able to sort it out?????

    It's always the sentimental pressies that mean the most. Last year I did my friend's family tree for her 40th. She loved it and it cost me about £14.

    Hiya Butti, (I think of chips when i see your name sorreeeeeee) I must admit, i feel like a bit of a skinflint. I know she will have bought me a expensive present, ive been down the root of, just spend so much on each other ect but its a waste of time. So i have decied to to do what i want and let her waste her money ( says her who is money savvy now :rolleyes:), Hence im feeling a bit iffy about it. i know she will like it as we love to spend time together and we always getting into scrapes and taking photo's. Its just me i guess with the home made cheap thought in my head.
