    Think I started at around £13k and am around the £15k mark now :( No chance of ever paying it off if I keep earning so low... Ahh the life of a perpetual student!

    ETA: Brilliant news about the hours Wendz!

    congrats on the working hours Wendz and fingers crossed for OH CMD!! I hope that you aren't getting disheartened by meanies on the dilemma thread!
    I've done a few more reviews now on DY and I am (when they all get approved!) so close to the cash out level so hopefully that will help the challenge a tiny bit!
    Nice to see you back Nim and Dinah! I hope you're doing ok and I cant believe your next holiday is so close!!

    Fingers crossed, but sounds very positive!

    I echo what others have said about meanies on the other thread, just ignore them. For some people things are very black and white and here in the real world we all know thats not the case!

    Thanks Tinks and Flower,

    I am not taking it to heart. At the end of the day I know what works for myself, OH and my babies :)

    Haha I know! I should go to sleep really. I'm wrecked. I'm busy too the next few days. Tomorrow I'm working then meeting some friends for a college reunion. Then Friday I'm working in the morning, meeting a friend for lunch, working again, then meeting a friend in the evening for drinks. Should be good cuz ex-OH is away so we can go to the local pub without any worry! :p

    Urgh I don't even wanna think about my student loans! :o

    CMD one of the early posts on that dilemma has really riled me. :mad:

    I know it riled me too but you should see the post on the last page of it. It is even worse. I think some people insult others because it is anonymous and they have no control in their real life so try to make themselves feel big online.

    Thanks for the support on there xxx
