    Don't we all mate....so save up for it and you won't be coming back to a life consumed by debt.
    YOUR = belonging to you (your coat); YOU'RE = you are (I hope you're ok)

    really....it's not hard to understand :T

    Ahnhh Why didn't you say??

    You want a Loan to repay the Loan


    And one of you is a Teacher to Children?? Holy Moly. No wonder so many of them get buried with payday loans as soon as they can get credit.

    Barking mad.

    Now have £3k debt and in 6 Months come back with £30k of debt.... staggering!!

    I would not count on GF getting another job, if her current employer is happy to let her disappear for 6 months she cannot be that important.

    Hi all

    I would appreciate some advise on getting a loan. My girlfriend and I are going travelling and need a loan to do so. We estimate we will need around £10,000 each.

    Does anyone have any tips. Should we tell the bank we want to go travelling or should we say we need for another purpose.

    What bank is likely to be best to get a loan from, as I currently bank with Santander and they don't seem to be advertising for loans at all, just savings.

    Thank you kindly and regards

    Another troll post from Planet Rugby forum, me thinks :)

    They're getting a bit more sophisticated though :wink:

    When the GF vanishes...will the debt disappear too?

    No wonder the countrys going into the gutter.
    The amount of people that ask these questions surely over the past years they've actually been successful in their requests with the banks.
    I'm glad that the majority of banks have tightened there belts the past year or so.
