I know how hard you've worked to clear all those debts so I hope you've had a little celebration and are indulging in a few treats (not too many, mind;)) as a reward for all the hard work.
I hope you have recorded your success on the Roll of Honour, if not here's a reminder.....:Dfreebyfifty wrote: »Chris - that is fantastic. Well, well, well (into infinity) done. I am so jealous.:o What does it feel like?
