    It certainly has been a rollercoaster ride Bookie....this time last year I was in an unhappy and loveless marriage, struggling for money as ex was made redundant and miserable. A year on I am in love, moving house, starting afresh, starting my foundation degree in September and nearly debt free. There have been many highs and lows but you are right, without the people on here I would probably be in the nuthouse.
    I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....
    Finally Debt Free...

    Bun, think he's more than a playmate. No nickname for him yet...I'll just call him K. Is 32, actually lives near me (same block of flats) and we've barely left each other since last Sunday. Really easy to be with him, doesn't expect me to change or deal with tons of !!!!!!!! (or the I'm-not-coming-to-see-you-but-won't-bother-telling-you crapola) Still in two minds about Finland, have been for the past couple of weeks as have barely spoken to my mate (yeah, he's busy, but how long does it take to send a text!) but I'll probably go as I've paid for it now.
    I'd gossip more....but K's next ot me lol (he does have a slight WOW addiction....but pobody's nerfect)

    This year has flown by, a year ago I was wondering whether to apply for a job and whether to take a chance on a guy I had a crush on but was afraid of being hurt again. Now, he's my fiance and my life, I'm in the job and so so much healthier and happier.
