    I love the quotation about the rainbow, that's lovely, I'm going to text it to my hubby now (we had a slight 'discussion' last night :rolleyes:).

    Sorry it didn't work out Rich - you will always know that you tried though. If you hadn't tried, you would always wonder 'what if....'

    Well, Rich, it is a box that you can now tick of things that you may always have wondered about had you not had the bottle to go and try.

    i have a wee confession to make and advice to seek ...and i know no one will judge me but.......i had forgotten about a 5 year plan thing i took out five years ago till i got a letter in at the weekend asking me what i wanted to do with the money ...now how could i forget about the amount of money ...well to be totally honest i dont now how i did i just did ...when the letter came in the other day i thought it was a joke till i searched out the paper work and found it to be real ...so anyway come the end of november i will have enough to pay off my debt with or without the help of the car accident pay out ..but i'm thinking i might just pay it off at the normal rate as i aint gonna save much money in interest...so should i pay off the debt be debt free (something i really want but was starting to think i could never achieve) or carry on paying the debt at the normal rate and invest the money? i feel a bit of a fraud to be honest but truthfully i totally forgot about this money i put it by 5 years ago when money was no problem for us and we were spending like there was no tomorrow ...i think i did it cause hubby stopped getting his share saves but i honestly cant remember...please dont be too harsh with me
