    Well it's official! I've paid off over £20,000 of debt! :eek:

    That works out at just about £1 for every one of your posts, SS - Well Done - no need to update your signature for the remaining £14,000 - we'll just go by your post count. :T :rotfl: :T

    Well done you star!!!!!! _party__party__party__party__party__party__party__party__party__party__party__party__party__party__party_
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

  • Any news yet SS, been a couple of days since you were on? I hope nothing serious,

    I lost a baby woofer last year, he was only 14 weeks old but had a dodgy heart. It really broke mine, I had only had him a few weeks but loved him dearly. It cost me a lot of money and contributed to my debt, even though he was insured but I didn't care... I did what it took to try to make him better.

    Have a new one now who is fit and well, my parents treat him like a grandchild.. he is so spoilt and he does attitude well too!

    Well done on debt though, what an achievement, sounds like Dec 08 will be a big party :T. Thanks also for casino thing, mine becomes payable at end November, just in time for Xmas pressies so has helped me out loads. :A

    Hi Squirrel. :)

    Well the stiches come out tomorrow and they should have the biopsy results. The way the vet was talking at the check up he seemed to suggest they were malignant but at the same time he also said 'when' they come back if we get them early he should be fine. :)

  • I've got man flu and am feeling very sorry for myself. Can't make up my mind whether I'm hot or cold! :(

    But I've made a nice whack on ebay (thanks Mr Paypal for robbing me blind :mad: ) and some more on matched betting so I reckon I can still clear my overdraft by the end of this month. :)
