    Hes hungover though so not easy to get him up, he got up near 11, had a cigarette and went back to bed :rolleyes:

    I have just put £115 in my ISA as had £50 christmas cash from my Dad and £36.20 from CBK so rounded it up and now at £1000! Never had that amount of my own cash before :D

    i am loving saving up but it just isn't as important to me as being debt free was. One day when i have a morgage i will be trying very hard again. But for now as long as i can save at least £100 a month i am happy!

    I am desperate to have our own home though so saving is really important to me now.

    3 months ago i was just debt free and now to have £1000 is a great feeling :)

    Yeah i am saving towards a house and future. I am hoping to find a nice man soon as i am so scared of buying a house on my own! I have bought a house on my own before but i just feel different this time i think it is because i have dd to provide for so i have to make it work if i buy somewhere! hopefully house prices will come down!
