    So many debts....:embarasse ________Total Paid off so far: £240
    Overdraft: £2700________Wardrobe Loan: £900
    ______CC1(V): £9800 (0% APR) _______CC2(T): [strike]£3851 [/strike] £3731 (15.76% APR)

    Hi there, have just found your 'club', hope its ok if I join in? Am late 40's and weigh about 35lbs too much for good health - am (if I don't lie to myself) a size 18 and for my height should be a 14, no waistline to speak of, and can pinch about 5 inches - in all directions!

    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Have a cuppa. Often hunger pangs are due to being thirsty.
