  • oh and MM - if you say car prices are lowering would it be better to wait until they hit their lowest? I read on a moneywise email that we'll probably have negative inflation next year, so it might not be such a bad thing to wait. But only you can work out what is best for you - as Jen said, you're going in with your eyes open and knowing the concequences so its not as bad as just getting a loan without thinking about them!

  • Thanks Jen - I am really enjoying what I'm learning so its not too bad - I just have no social life now but it's only for 1 year, and we have a break between 12th December and sometime in Feb so I'm looking forward to that. So I'll be scarce till then but will keep popping in!

    OI MM you should do what's right for you lol.

    Hope everyone gets their £50 amazon vouchers. I've been browsing this afternoon and found things I want to buy.

    Dawn I'm sure you'll make it just keep trying.

    I've done a massive stint at work this weekend but glad it;s over now

    Bah the site has gone really slow now :rolleyes:

    One good thing is not many reviews of places in my town so should get to 1000 quite easily as keep getting first reviews lol.
