'de' my least favourite word

'De' seems to give me new problems everyday. As I learn Spanish I read things and learn things and then one day they will just click and I will use them naturally. 'De' has not clicked for me yet. I was going to post this question tomorrow, but I'm not going to be able to sleep until I've posted it. It's quite simple really, just:
'Con tal de que' or 'Con tal que' ???
Thank you

I understand your pain.
"Con tal (de) que" both mean "as long as" or "provided that."

If you are having problems sleeping, read this article on the dequéismo or some on the antidequísmo in these phrases and you'll nod right off.
