    Hey Aussie,

    course you can :D I shall have a big DFW party.

    I'm even more determined now, yesterday went to visit my BIL's dutch barge that he brought over from Holland & is in the process of doing up. I would much prefer one of those to a narrow boat - I find them far too claustrophobic & dismal in winter. Although it was tipping down, we sat in the wheel house looking out over the river & it was like being in a conservatory on water ... I really really really want one, in fact I think I neeeeed one.

    Thanks moneymabel for getting me back on track, its so easy to focus on just trying to pay off debts & kind of lose the reason why :rolleyes:

    Yay, can't wait! The barge sounds like an even bigger, better target! And of course its a need, not a want! I'll back you up on that one! Good luck!

    Hi peeps,

    Here's my 'I wants'

    Ive dug myself out of debt just recently, now im putting all my efforts into saving, as my dream is to buy a flat/house with my fiance, be a yummy mummy and have a baby and live happily ever after!:rolleyes:

    - A home of my own- £20,000 deposit & £5,000 for fee's
    - To start a family

    In that order of course! :D

  • Right now at this minute I want:

    1) A new kitchen, including washer, cooker/oven, fridge, our units are falling to pieces, and the white goods are all so dated. The washer sounds like a figher jet taking off when it is spinning!

    2) A new bathroom, still got the one that was in when we moved in, its disgusting. Pink. Bath is funny shaped and so uncomfortable meaning I have had just 2 baths here in over 4 months, I hate showers.

    3) The whole house decorated, certainly not to my tastes.

    4) Enough money to have a free bar at my wedding.

    5) A holiday. Anywhere.

    you have to make £35 but £10 of that is your bonus so you need £25 more.

    i did king jackpot betting site cost me £10 deposit and you get £15 back through mbm. i also signed up for !!!!!!! and you get 3p for every comp you enter easily a couple of quid, go compare for £1, 75p for signing up to Just Rewards from Experian and £10 for cyber slotz i have also done loads of daily clicks on there. if anyone else on here wants to sign up i can refer of look on the refer section share the free cash around

    I thought win 4 now was a spam site? Perhaps thats why they block it? I dont think any of the comps they list are real so be careful with that one.
