ooooh, where to start?!

A son who has two bedrooms bursting at the seams with crap, er toys....

A car (not even that great a one at that!)

A house full of stuff I don't need

Wardrobes, suitcases and drawers full of clothes I don't fit into anymore

Mrs_Sparkle

A house full of designer shoes and handbags! I wish...

Seriously, this is what I have to show for the debt:

-a fantastic wedding a year ago
-a new bathroom 2 years ago
-some very expensive damp proofing works to the kitchen
-a few fab holidays
-a few extra inches on my tummy (not including being 9 months pregnant at the mo) from eating out and drinking wine often

What sort of bike, Kevin?

If my heart ruled my head, I'd be riding around on a 2007 GSX-R750 rather than a '99 ZX9-R.............

but with an extra £5k of debt!!

That might explain why mine is so high, I've got 4 (although often seems like 5:rolleyes: )

A secondhand car that is not even big enough for us all to go out in!!
Microwave, dishwasher, washing maching, tumble dryer, expensive food mixer, 2 laptops, a pc, toys coming out of our ears, a garden shed and a freezer that is bursting at the seams:o

7 Years at University. No, really.

I also spent a ton of that time snowboarding, and I lived in the USA for a year of study. Last March I went travelling in California for a month, which cost me the amount on the credit card in my sig.

I don't regret any of it, and I dont have much to show for it materialistically, and sometimes I wish for £30,000 of debt I at least had some nice clothes... but even my iPod broke and can't bring myself to buy another one just yet.

I'm a better person for it, but a selfish, bitter, poor better person.:D

Two cars, quite a bit of furniture. £2500 went towards our wedding.

A flat that was falling appart, and now Im very proud of - technically investment, if i was playing politics...

My education (and hence my job I suppose)

A couple of nice holidays which I can't justify - long gone!

not a lot else
