    Debt-free and Proud!
    potted £4.25 last night. Haven't been finding any 'roadkill' lately though. I had a spate of it last year walking up to the shop, but alas people are being more careful... or others are more eagle-eyed than me.
    **Debt Free as of 15:55 on Friday 23rd March 2012**And I am staying that way

    I was walking along with a colleague, saw a penny on the ground and picked it up without a thought. I wonder what she thought, though? :)

    I expect she thought 'what a very sensible, money-saving-type person, I should do that :rotfl:
    Ok, so i'm stupid.... what does "Got the LO today" mean??? lol

    Thanks for asking that Ruth :rotfl: I thought it must mean having the hump/camel lol
