    Hey PAP

    Well done hun, that's a nice place to be, debt free and with savings :D

    Just wondered why your internet is so high and whether 'househeeping' includes food too? :confused:

    Hope you spend the £99 with a bit less control than the rest ;)

    do you actually have a life outside the internet?

    Will

    What's one of them??:confused::p
  • ok ok i'll admit it i was very very harsh and my comments weren't required. I'm sure PAP does do things aside from the internet with whats left and as long as she is happy that is all that matters

    so i apologise

    WIll

  • i know beenie... doesnt time fly... i must say although from the outside ie not going out and not having the lastest gadget (ummm ignore the sig :rolleyes: :rotfl:) my own little financal structure (ie savings) is going well... to me that is what will make me a sucess in life and not to be where i was a few months ago and maybe in years time with tripple (or maybe more)... i am happy right now saving what i can comfortably and although my friends roll their eyes when i say i save as much as i do i dont care... i enjoy my life as it is and thats all that matters :D

    good luck in all your debt free quests you will all get there some day... and i will be the first to congratulate you

    Where's the money for fun!!??? :rotfl:

    Quite! Saving is great (I presume you have a goal in mind? Something you are saving for?) but at the end of the day, you can't take it with you, so make sure you live a little.

    Also ~ do you have a pension?
