    If this is so against the DFW ethos, why was it included in the newsletter :confused: :rolleyes:
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    I think it's a great idea, if I put the odd bit of change away in my bank, it would get lost in all the other money I have going in and out and I wouldn't see it. This way in 12 months we get a nice wad of cash (hopefully:rotfl:) To spend on whatever we like (a new handbag sounds like a fab idea to me....:rotfl:)

    So it gets a big fat thumbs up from me :T:T
