    Sorry, I think I told somebody else on here I'm terrible with abbreviations, should have got that though. :o

    One Full and Final is under negotiation, then the two others are with the original creditors, so I doubt I'm going to get anything off.

    Alex, I apologise for being so blunt earlier; well done for mentioning the subject during today's session.

    And congratulations on your niece's performance; confirmation of your talent as a teacher. :T

    Reckon you can be proud she looks up to you - nothing disturbing about that - have faith in yourself!

    Really pleased to hear BIL (brother in law) has seen the light. Hopefully it will help with any other in law issues. The numbers are looking good too. Onwards and upwards - or do I mean downwards?

    Robin: It's OK and thank you. :)

    In a way I am proud, just would rather she didn't "look up to" me too much. :rotfl:

    Your niece is bound to look up to you. You have got her through something which I suspect she was afraid would leave her embarrassed in front of all her school friends. I would just enjoy it and use it to help her to get even better. There is nothing like a teacher who inspires you to make you do better than you would normally.
