    Pam your pic scares me. Also the kissing war one does!

    Piglet, bet you looked! He is VERY fit though so it's all good. Though the naked one has a policeman's hat which scared me somewhat lol.

    *wants to throw her work out of the window*

    Herewegoagain, if you want to chat, you know we're a friendly and somewhat nuts bunch. Tho not as nuts as normal sans bubbles!

    And lastly, but not least, welcome to MDB. We're getting quite a following in our little thread, love it!

    Aw, hugs to you Here.

    It's not the end of the world if you have a binge occasionally so don't beat yourself up about that.

    As for the debt, look how far you have come. I know it is hard but be proud of what you have already achieved. You are doing so well.

    I am proud of it all, but sometimes I think I should be locked up in a dark room like a mushroom until I cheerup dam it:mad:

    Hey, everyone is allowed to be miserable at times. Just let it out. It's better than keeping it all to yourself. I've tried that and everything just gets darker. So have a wallow.

    Evening all!

    How's this for lucky? Went to buy a new pair of boots today, and saw a pair I liked, £95 reduced to £47.50 in the sale.

    The kid on the till scanned them, and the price came up at £74.99...at which point he started typing away on a calculator. After about a minute, he said "the calculator's not working" and asked if I could explain how you get £47.50 from £95. To be fair, he added the comment that he's crap at maths.

    I said it's 50%, and he proceeded to apply a 50% reduction to the price on the till - which, of course, was £74.99 - giving a grand total of £37.49.

    At this point, he said "hmm...that's not right...ah, it's close enough" and charged me the lower price.

    As I was about to leave, with a smile on my face, he said "I told my maths teacher there's no point learning maths because I'll never use it in the real world. That didn't work out too well for me".

    But, happily, it did for me :)
