    Sorted it by getting your girlfriend in debt instead. Top man. ;) Still look on the bright side at least she'll be able to buy her own bottle of Lambrini when the loan goes through. Might even have enough change for one of those 'Trevor & Sharon' stickers for the windscreen on your Corsa innit? :D:D:D :D
    Hey, don't diss lambrini, it's great if you want something cheap that has about as much alcohol content as 'alcoholic chocolates'. :D

    Kymi,

    Maybe this (http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=2322609&highlight=) might help you understand why the comment was made.

    I have found people on here more than supportive so before you have a jab at wrangler please get your facts right
