    Oh my goodness, I was just chuckling at your replies about the poetry when Stu rang, so I tactfully asked him. He said he would 'have to come back to me on that one'.....and I have just had another poem, by text message.....(don't read if easily offended!!)

    I'm the champagne
    And you are the ice
    Let me into the bucket
    And I'll be very nice!

    Good Afternoon all.

    Just made a payment to Moorcroft (Egg Card) who I hate. But that takes my total debt below £25K which feels really good. A LONG LONG way still to go but always good to hit a milestone. Thought I would just share that - feels good to see and say.
    Total Debt now £22,525.07 Start Debt £32,732.36
    £10207.29 OF DEBT PAID OFF:j 31.18%

    Jacs, you have to wait until everything settles down before you can realistically expect the weight to start to come off, you'll be a bit less active too I guess.

    If it is any consolation, I once suggested to a woman in a toilet queue at Haydock Racecourse that she go before me in her "condition" - her friend made it very clear that it was good living that had created her shape :o but added that I wasn't the first to make that comment....
