    Hey Friend!

    I agree with Ali car crash maybe you should speak to her?
    Warn her of the dangers of debt maybe?

    All you can do is be there for her when it does all collapse around her.....it's like being a parent, you have to let them learn from their own mistakes, not matter how hard it is for you to stand by and watch sometimes.

    I've got 3 weeks left to work now, it's going okay but I'm getting tired very easily now. I've just been to the supermarket and when I got home I had to sit down and have a rest, because my heart was racing and my legs and arms were shaking from the effort....god, I'm falling apart lol!
