    Thanks Nix..All of my Tattoo's mean something to me...I have 4 altogether....but they are small-ish and quite discreet....although if I DO get this new one then I want it down my Forearm, which won't be discreet if I am wearing a short-sleeved Shirt!! LoL


    Nothing extra in my VSP today or yesterday....Gotta wait until Monday now before I put anymore in... :)

    Morning :)

    Dizzy Imp - you're #17, welcome to the gang!

    Thank you :D I'm playing around with figures already so when Wednesday arrives I can transfer my first VSP amount. This debt clearing and saving is quite addictive isn't it lol?

    Looking forward to getting to know you all a bit better!

    Hi gang, how you all doing? It's throwing hail down here at the moment - the dogs have gone to bed in disgust :D

    Crimson - feel better soon XX
    DreamerH - I got a tattoo of a scorpion done on my shoulder when I was 18. I had it recoloured about 15 years ago. Now at age 45 it looks like a lobster :D
    DizzyImp - we're looking forward to making friends with you! And yes it IS very addictive when it finally clicks. I spent all last night setting up budget software and now I feel EPIC - as the advert says :p

    Have a great day everyone :)
