            Hi PAP!
 I have stayed at home today, thereby keeping spending to a minimum - just sent the children out for some wrapping paper we needed for birthday presents this weekend - the presents themselves of course came out of the "bought in the sales, put away in the cupboard" cupboard 
 hope everyone is having a good weekend.Successful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes. (Maud Van de Venne)Life begins at the end of your comfort zone (Neale Donald Walsch)0

            Hi all:hello:. I haven't been out of the house all day, in fact I'm only just out of my jammies .  At least it means I have spent nothing at all today.  Hope you got something worthwhile for your big spend today, pap.                        Official DFW Nerd Club - Member # 593 - Proud To Be Dealing With My Debts!0 .

 Not going to stay around much this evening - I am shattered - don't know why I was going to cut the grass, but it was too hot, so I'll do it tomorrow. I was going to cut the grass, but it was too hot, so I'll do it tomorrow.
 Goodnight PaP. :wave:I 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.
