I'm soooo glad you said that, cos I ended up doing the same! :o ;D It is pretty good though, innit - much more use than the junk I usually get given (last years was "This Diary Will Change Your Life" - no it won't, but it will get shredded and added to the compost bin!).

Cheers,

Title: Cure for spending addiction
Post by: redimp on November 12, 2005, 19:15:51: The best cure for all financially related addictions is to be in my current financial situation. You will then have no choice but to go cold turkey so if anybody would like to buy all my debts off me they are going for a knock down price.
