    So are you debt free now Skintdragon - oh how I pray for the day I can say that!!

    Well...

    I hope to be, not managed to go to the bank since last week. :embarasse

    I really must get my backside into gear before I am tempted to spend the money.

    In the meantime, I managed to spend a small fortune on an Apple imac (plus other bits and bobs) so am feeling a bit nervous to say the least!:eek::eek:

    Once I have paid the outstanding debt I shall update my signature to reflect this... watch this space.... _pale_

    Where is everybody?
    :mad: Hindsight is a wonderful thing...
    :j One of Mike's Mob! yea!!!

    inally settled full balance of RBS personal loan ahead of schedule on 10th August 2010 :money:





    DEBT FREE AT LAST... BUT FOR HOW LONG?! :eek:

    Thanks auntie, doing OK. Just getting used to having such a huge weight removed from my shoulders and trying to psych myself up to do some work and get back to normal.

    Where's the fun in that? Abuse and retribution? There's websites for fans of that sort of thing.

    I believe.
