    this has been a really inspiring thread. Good luck with your next challenge

    Went for the most delish meal, it was a tasting menu, so asparagus triful and banaas and custard with popping candy mixed in yum yum spent £105 but hey ho all worth it.
    Have decided what to do with the money-sort of. We're going to hire a camper van for a week end away and see if we like it, and if we do buy a camper van and if we dont keep onto the money.OH maintained that now was probabally the wrong time to move.And hey we've saved it once we can do it again!

    OH came up with a long list of things we could spend it on like foreign holidays, adventure activities, a sports car only he can drive (i can only drive automatics) sort of the tiling on the roof, the 70's kitchen ie general house repairs etc so he has been thinking

    Just done a lightspeed survey up to 380 points now in about 2 weeks it took me about 2yrs to get to the same level with ciao!
