    Well Done :j :beer: :T

    Not so long ago I was in the same position as you:D & I am now saving for the first time also;)
    It's amazing really how much you can save, once those damned credit cards & overdrafts are out of the way.
    try to have a bit of fun too though - you deserve it:T
    Comping again - wins so far : 2 V festival tix, 2 NFL tix, 6 bottles of wine, personalised hand soap, Aussie miracle conditioner :beer:
