    Hi copperjar, it's a free online course and it's called Living Life to the Full http://www.livinglifetothefull.com/ I haven't done much more than register at the moment :o, but it looks like it could be quite good.

    I need to get on with it really.

    Thanks jwil :) I've spent quite a bit of time over the past couple of days going through the various workbooks (think I might have overloaded myself!!). Its good - thank you

    You must be thrilled with the 0% card jwil, I should imagine it will make things much easier for you now and less worry ! :D

    Good news about the npb too. :T

    Your 'barely accessible' rooms remind me of my office at the moment, a tad (under-exaggeration) messy but in all fairness, it's stuff that will be sold at the guides table top sale in a couple of weeks.

    Still reading lots here, just finished 'The other Bolyen (sp?) Girl' - I seem to have a bit of an addiction to that genre at the moment :D. Next on the list is the Queen's Husband. And you're right about the saving money on cleaning products jwil :rotfl:

    I am indeedy pleased about the 0% card. One thing that it means is that I now have an empty credit card that can be used for emergencies. I know that's not the point, and I will be closing the other credit cards which I have paid off, but part of my problem has been all my credit cards were maxed out, all my wages were taken up by paying the bills, and if something went wrong, I had no money or anything to pay for it. That was a big stress for me, but now I know I have a safety net. I don't carry the card, so can't use it, and am determined not to, but it's there if I need to. Once the balances start going down on the other cards and there is enough there to be a safety net, I will close that one.

    At the moment, I'm reading Dead Famous, by Ben Elton, which is ok, and about to start Coast to Coast by Jan Minshull which is about someone walking coast to coast from the lake district. I'd love to do that one day so hoping I enjoy the book.
