    well done mm. Take you time and make sure you get esactly what you want!!

    The of course post us a pic!! I am looking forward to following your debt free journey (again) I don't recon it will take long to get rid of. Also if it takes months to find one you will have even more savings to chuck at it!

    I'm so much better at paying of debt than saving!! what i am planning (if my uncle agrees) is to borrow the £3000 from him now so i can instantly start paying him back, he lives quite far away so if i find a car say this weekend i wouldnt be able to get the money in time whereas my parents can get a bankers draft same day. That way if it takes a while to find a car i will have a good head start in paying it back.
    Will def post a pic if i can remember how to do it!!

    at the moment my basic payment each month (was to my debt now to the savings) is £220 so that would be £110 each if i'm paying both back at the same time, this doesnt include any extra quidco,scratchcard money, anything from jewellery sales etc.
    The garden fund has bitten the dust for now though!!

    I'm off to bed-night all!! will have to have a good hunt round tomorrow for some moneymaking ideas to pay off my new debt-i know i should be gutted to be back in debt again but i'm excited as well! It's a much more satisfying challenge than savings for some reason! ( i really need help.....)
