    Bless - I am debt free now, but this was certainly not always the case. When the kids were small and only OH earning (not much), we had a lot of debt and money worries.

    One day, when my youngest was about 3 or 4, we were waiting in the bank queue to pay in the playgroup's subscription money (I was the committee treasurer). She suddenly piped up, in her very loud voice: 'Mummy, is this the bank that keeps sending us the snotty letters?' :rotfl: I was so embarrassed, but everyone in the queue thought it was hilarious, and even the bank staff were laughing :o (It was a different bank from the snotty letter one BTW, the playgroup's bank, not my personal one)

    We laugh about it now - we got out of the debt and so will you! DD is a teacher now, so still has a loud voice :rotfl:
