  • Hi AC..

    Well its taken me the best part of a week to get to page 89 from page 1 !!

    Just a quickie from me to say I think you have done fabulously well from where you were on Page 1.
    You have had tremendous help and advice from all your followers.. not sure you would be where you are today without all their lovely help and advice...they have been rooting for you all the way! :D

    Will be subscribing and following your journey from now on..

    Good Luck with everything.

    Wow! Thanks a lot lmw for that. I don't think I would've gone ahead , if it wasn't for the support on here .
    Thanks for your endurance.. there are so many pages now.
    I was thinking of closing this , and doing ' quit everything part 2'
    However, I'm kind of on the edge of things( hopefully buying something / paying off dmp etc), so I don't know when.
    Nice to hear that it looks like I'm doing well as such.
    Still a way to go...:)

    Same page as me. You and I must love scrolling, because we have it set to 40 posts per page, as opposed to the wimps set on 20 :o

    I am a long- time reader of this thread (loathe to use the word lurker)
    In case you are wondering how I have just emerged from the ether.

    Good luck in all you do AC. Been there, done it, t-shirt, et al. If you don'T achieve it all, no worries. You should be very proud of yourself for what you have achieved thus far. Xxx

    Sounds like you've been through the mill . Hope you achieved everything :)

    I am on page 89 too (with 40 posts). AC I think you should start a new thread with a nice upbeat title to reflect your new life - starting over in a new place ;)

    Wimps? Nice. I did not know we had a choice of how many pages to set per screen but then, I'm not down with the tech; never claimed to be.

    AC, maybe hold off on the new thread for a while until you've fully shaken off the old life and are fit and well again with debts cleared etc. Plenty of time yet.
