    it would take us 2 years to earn £50k. we barley get by month-to-month. we rent not have our own house. if we needed to find £500 it would have to go on a credit card.

    sorry if this makes us a "burdon" in some peoples eyes!
    loves how my "I've been censored" signature has been censored. LOL. Happy Christmas. :xmastree:
