    Oliveoyl, regarding the gym thing, if you enjoyed it and its going to be good for you, plus you may have someone to go with, then why not. As we all have to remind ourselves, life is for living, we all have things we do because we want to regardless of the cost, if going to the gym is your thing then why not. I suppose you have to decide whether you are going to use it, however at least you are being money saving by getting a good deal!! You may end up regretting not joining especially as you seem to have had a good time doing the mystery shop one. Whatever you decide, do what right for you.

    My major expense for this week will be paying £50 to go visit my family as its my dad's birthday, then us all going out for a meal and splitting my dad and step mum's meal between us all. I'll only be there for three days, but my family are worth more than money so its worth doing.

    Glad you got your computer tallie, must be great to be properly back on line and with a decent computer. My computer is the bane of my life, it is so slow, i often cheer myself up by thinking about chucking it out the window!!

    Afternoon,

    Today I am looking for a new mortgage, as my existing fixed rate with Northern Rock comes to an end shortly. Am I saving or spending? I am saving because if I didn't go to another lender, my payments would shoot up another £200+ pm!! I am spending as even a new fixed or variable rate will be a little bit more than what I am paying now.
    My suggestion and/or advice is my own and it is up to you if you follow it, please check the advice given before acting on it.
