    Just realised it was my MSE anniversary yesterday - six years....

    How things have changed...back then I had a decent wage but up to eyeballs in debt and hated my job, now no debt, mortgage down a fair bit & studying subjects I love - life is good and a lot of it is due to the support and ideas on here, thank you all.

    Happy anniversary party-blower-smiley-emoticon.gif, I'll have been on here 9 years next month :eek:, didn't use it much at first though (which is probably why I'm still here :rotfl:).

    Great to hear how much it's helped SS. I think :money: deserves a big kiss-and-thank-you-smiley-emoticon.gif
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

    Happy anniversary SS, and belated anniversary beanie:T

    I am in awe at how well you do as a student SS - how long will your studies last, if you don't mind me asking?

    It's strange how your priorities change isn't it?
    I've got into debt to study and change career. Whilst the money situation is not ideal I love my job, love my workplace, feel I am doing something very worthwhile and have the support of some good friends both in the north and at my new home.

    Thank you Natty, it depends what course I end up doing - one would be four years and the other three years, long time but I thought at 30 I was too old to retrain so I'm thinking now that at 55 I'll be glad I did:D

    Had lovely day out with DS, got thrashed at air hockey despite my best efforts, had a lovely walk along the beach and a coffee in a posh cafe - all good.
