  • Just read through your thread =)

    Just wanted to say congratulations... I think half the battle with debt is being able to change your attitude, and it seems like you've been able to do that.

    Hope things keep going well for you!

    Hi FMN, long time no type.

    How's you and the family? Is everything back on an even keel (or there abouts?)
    Did Father Christmas get you a spending diary or are you still writing.
    Were you able to make any F&F offers?

    Just wanted to make sure you were okay.

  • Hello all

    I'm very overdue an update here - Sorry. :o

    It's been an 'interesting' eighteen months or so, but I'm feeling and very much in need of getting back to active DFW ways. I'll be back soon when I've got some time to update properly.
