  • Hiya Tiger

    Yep, the £19 per month is fully comprehensive car insurance - costs me under £240 a year cos I have protected no claims.

    Will have another tweak tomorrow - ta xx

    I have a house!!! :j:j Landlord on the lovely house I saw a month or so back is willing to accept me with a guarantor. The let is only for six months, but in that time I can save up another deposit, and will be able to show any other potential landlords that I am a good rental prospect. And hopefully be discharged by then :rolleyes:

    So next week me and the girls will be packing and the week after we will be moving into our new house.

    H and I have sorted most things out with regard to childcare access, and it looks like this could be just the fresh start both of us need :T

    That's brilliant news Merry, I am so chuffed for you. Hope the move goes well and you never know the landlord may extend the tenancy.

    Glad things are settleing down for you.
