Fab news Sammy - really hope the clean slate on the debt allows you some breathing room in your budget - and ye don't let Owen spend it all!People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.

Congratulations, when you scrape yourself down off the ceiling, make sure you run around like a mad woman for a wee while, how fantastic is that? Best news I've heard all week
