be careful when entering lots of competitions, i entered loads and was very annoyed to receive 3 copies of readers digest and 3 invoices for a subscription, which id never asked for, it turns out one of the competitions then used the details to sell onto other companies etc.Debt at highest (april 2005) £19000
Current Debt (september 2006) £7600
Mortgage Pig = £31.43 and we move in on Friday (6/10/06)
