    Great news sar. I can't wait till you're debt free, we'll have a great party that day :)

    As for kitties, go for a boy if you can. I don't know if it's just us but every girl I've had has been really anti-social. I've got a girl tabby and a pure white boy, floyd is so cuddly and lovely, toto runs a mile if you try and stroke her. All girls I've had have been like that:confused:

    Hi IA
    I have a lovely tabby boy as you can see - he is my first cat and I was told boys are friendlier however this one is not a lap cat but he has lots of personality.
    Well done on the TV front we had a TV recalled by Tesco a few years ago due to a fault and in the end they refunded us twice but as they had been so much hassle I never told them. We got £300 back and by then TVs had dropped in price. You might even get a deacent HD now for under £500 but the SKY HD package is pricey.

    Lovely to hear you are nearly debt free then it is just that car loan. Good luck with the job interview.
