    I know 3s a crowd, unless your into that! But I will answer your question about wink bingo SS and it is indeed risk free you can get £10 plus £5 bonus if you use WINK as the bonus code (be careful which vowel you type though). I just won £35 on 25p games x
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Does anyone ever feel guilty?

    I'm always banging on and moaning that I want to be debt free as soon as and get an @rse on if I can't make £2,000 of payments a month or whatever, but I never stand back and think how other people are affected and that I might actually be in an enviable position.

    I appreciate we are all our own people and everyones circumstances are different. But I feel bad at times when you read how people struggle all the time and there is me who has it easy! :undecided

    (((HUGS))) don't feel guilty. Everyone has different expectations on what they want to achieve, and you have high goals. there is nothing wrong with that. xx
    Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
