    ah I see Jen (the £6), that wont be bad then.

    I have had a productive morning cleaning the house, but still would like another sort out. I did find a brand new bottle of ck one so have put it on amazon in the hope it sells.

    I am more for saving rather than paying my debt off which is silly, but it's the way I work. I do chuck extra bits at my debt though so not overly worried about it.

    I have written 7 reviews on trusted places and want to complete that today if I can so off to write another couple and then off to see my parents this afternoon before coming home to cook for oh's mum.

    Hi everyone :-)
    jen-try using the savings calculator(do a forum search and it should come up) it shows you how much you will have if you save a certain amount and you can calculate the interest as well-very addictive though !!!
    Well i'm depressed-usually on a bank holiday august monday you find me in my mini ,dressed up as something stupid along with 300 other minis in convoy driving around North Devon raising money for the childrens hospice south west. Obviously i havent got a mini anymore so have just been watching them all drive past :-(
    Another reason why i want a MINI....:-)

    I really miss the mini but not the constant repair bills and breaking down. Also couldn't afford to run 2 cars as mini wasn't reliable enough for only car. Hence why I want a MINI- can still be in mini club and can then sell my micra .
