Hi everyone, I'm going to jump on the bandwagon here with a couple of wants of my own. (I have loads but better start realistically):rolleyes:

What I really want to to save up to get married. We're only going to have a small wedding, but I don't want to borrow against it, so I'm aiming for £2000 for a small wedding and medium sized party lol.

I'm going to update my signature in a mo to start encouraging me.


Other teeny tiny things I want lol:rotfl:

- new carpets
- holiday in 09
- new large hd flat screen tv
- be mortgage free

well I can want can't I lol. I read this thread every day and you are all very inspiring so hoping some of it will rub off on me

to leave it anywhere and would prob reverse

Did a quote for insurance last night and fully comp was the same price as 3rd party fire and theft on my micra!! Strange?!

Morning All :hello:

Its great to see so many new people with their "wants"

lilmissmup Im sure you can make your target to New York. :beer:

Just checked my credit report and British Gas have taken the default off of my account. :j Im so chuffed. It wasnt my account in the end (as I had moved out of the property) so they deleted it and apologised. Thats one down. :rotfl:

Again, stupidly tired today, I cant do early mornings.

Thank you. I was so upset last week as they said that it was my account and got narky and told me to pay at least £50. But its all sorted now.

Im not eating any more/less than usual to be honest. I do think its stress. And Im a night owl. I dont get tired at night, and end up staying up far too late, and then i cant get up. :rolleyes:
