    Saxysarah - start doing those hamstring stretches etc - you are down on the starting line and your starting amount has been added to the total :D

    Even with this the payments just made takes us to 3.91% paid so far and that is in 2 months - go us!
    Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with catsup :D
