    Or you could say I have paid thousands off every year and have a family I love as opposed to working 5-6 nights a week and coming home to a cat ( molly). I think yours may be more rewarding :o

    Sprout gets 'Sproutacus' most of the time and Turnip is 'Turnykins'

    We did have a Turkey as well (a cat called Turkey) but sadly he had to be put to sleep after getting poorly with diabetes. Also affection called Da Boyz, lol (cat people are daft though really arent they?)

    The world is divided into cat people or dog people and, obviously, cat people are better, more attractive, intelligent, witty & all round good eggs compared to woof lovers:D

    Hi Dewdrop,
    Congrats on your freeeeeeeeeeeeeedom, you really have hammered that debt down. Have you got any more tips in reducing it. I'm on a dmp so have a fixed payment now from next month i should have another £400 per month to go to my debt. I don't know whether to save up for F&F's or put it straight to my DMP. I can only F&F 2 of my debts as the other is a loan of about £15000.

    Any thoughts tips greatly appreciated thanks
