It's scary how quick time passes isn't it. We're nearly half way through the year already!

If you subscribe to your thread it might be easier for you to find it by the way - or if you click on your own name on the front page of the forums (down at the bottom, on the list of members who are online), you can then search for all threads started by you.

Glad the debt repayment is going well, sorry about your ex, but as others have said, you should be really proud that you are doing it all on your own. Your kids might not realise it now, but when they are older they will love you all the more for it.

Well its day 1 of free internet provided by sky, its a bit different to tiscali but overall is not too bad, we got a free wireless hub with it and the customer team were really good talking through my technophobe OH on how to set it up. We can have up to 10 e-mai addresses too. On a scale of 1 to 10 i would have to give it a 8.
