Hope I'm not imposing by starting the thread today, but I'm eager to post then have an early night (early start this morn and tomorrow!)
I have had a NSD today. Good job I have no cash in my purse as there is a bakery right next to work and I'm always tempted when I work mornings!
Hope everyone else has had a NS or a LS day.
Hope PaP appears soon!

Hi raph, Pap, and everyone.
Today I spent nothing - to be honest I didn't enjoy it much. Never mind, I can smell sausages - time for tea. :j :jI am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.
