    I agree...no point in struggling to pay off debt if you have savings sitting in the bank
    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 ....

    Wow Kayleigh, what a fantastic start your family have given you. I am sure that getting rid of the debt will set you on a firm path to financial sucess.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    I agree. After that can we have a 'Finishing Butti's grouting party'.

    I suffer from lack of cuddles but my OH is 200 miles away and doesn't have arms 200 miles long!

    Thanks, you guys. I'm feeling a bit tearful now, but in a happy way. :) You're all really amazing and I don't know what I'd have done these last few years if it weren't for all of your support. And telling you that is #1 on my list for today.

    I think #2 is going to be telling my grandparents how much I love them. My grandma's been like a mum to me throughout my life. Not that my mum isn't a good mum, she just had the hotel to run for years and ended up missed a lot of firsts with me, first step, first word, ect. So although I'm very close to my mum, I've always been closer to my grandma. And the only reason I ever get annoyed with my grandad is because he's getting Alzheimers. I'm not ever angry with him, I'm angry with the disease that's taking part of my lovely grandad away. :(

    I'm not sure about the other 11 things, probably telling other family members and James variations on the same things for some of them.

    Kayleigh,
    How tragic for your family-alzheimers is an evil horrible disease.

    I know. :( The worst part is how slowly it's happening, so he knows what's going on. It almost makes me wish it'd just hurry up so he wouldn't be aware of it anymore.
