  • Hey Rubes, well done for posting your soa, you're much braver than me! :o

    Please don't beat yourself up so much about the debt. So maybe you've been a bit silly, but everyone's done it and no-one's going to judge you. At least you came back here and you want to make things better, and you know you can do it. x
    much work to be done - new sig coming soon...
