    I don't believe in the concept of hell, but if I did I would think of it as filled with people who were cruel to animals.

    Sorry, I forgot one. I'm also going to burn the granny coat that I am forced to wear because it is warm, it fits and I could afford it. I hate that coat. I'm 25 and I wear felt for crying out loud!

    Don't burn it - cut it up and make enormous Fuzzy Felt pictures for short-sighted people.

    Put something back.

    :D

    I would never ever inflict this coat on anyone else, in any way, shape or form. It's pink and brown check and when it rains, it smells of wet dog. My husband accosted a little old lady thinking it was me the other day. How embarrassing.

    Fair point. Fire it is then.

    i'd like to save up and be able to go on holiday, without putting it on the credit card and paying it off for the next year. Go and buy some nice things without worrying about putting it on the credit card.

    I'm going to buy mum a cadburys dairy milk bar for helping me with my financial woes.

    And if she liked that, I will get her a toblerone.

    Maralum, do you have Freecycle where you live? If so, put a wanted ad on for a coat and you will probably be bowled over with offers!

  • I am looking forward to being able to pay for a holiday myself rather then borrowing from mum and dad or putting it on credit.

    To buy my own car insurance without credit

    To be able to pay to take my OH out for a meal, as he always pays.

    I'm looking forward to having some of last months pay left on next months pay day!

    I will increase my DD's into my savings/ISA
    and book a city break for me & my darling boyf.

    Who knows I might be saving for a wedding, or paying a mortgage off with him by then! :j
