and the dog.... he's what we're all here for!:D
:rotfl:
Woofer is really good. He seems alot happier than he has been for ages. His arthritis doesn't seem to be causing him any probs either. He has little runs now (10 steps maybe :rotfl: ) but he hasn't done that for a long time and doesn't have any trouble getting up. Seems to be wanting to be tickled alot more aswell! :rolleyes:0 -

No not really. I'm really looking forward to having my own gaff. I guess it's just knowing the fact I could be instead 2 months or so from debt freeness and getting a flat money will be a bit tight again until the loan is paid off as it's nearly £400 a month.
But I definately don't want to postpone moving out coz it will be another 6 months otherwise and that will drive me nuts!
But I'll cope. I'll have to! :rotfl:0 -

My goodness you don't hang around do you? £750 in the flat fund already! :T
I'm really glad things are going well for you - money might feel a bit tight temporarily, but I doubt that even getting your own flat will delay your debt busting very much."I wasn't wrong, I just wasn't right enough.":smileyhea97800072589250 -

Think our TV license is about £12 a month and contents insurance about £18, if that's any help.
