    Did I mention that I'm going to start making and selling knickers? I found a lovely piece of lacy stretch material for £1.80 in F4bricland at the weekend, and some elastic for 15p/m I reckon that'll make two pairs for less than £2! :D

    I've not got much to add for this thread so far...no more debt busting and not much apart from work and watching the rain....

    At least I've got a five day weekend after tomorrow, I'm sure that'll be good for my moneysaving.... :beer:
    DFW - DEBT FREEEEEE!

    Total - 10762/10762 :)

    Every silver lining has its cloud.
