    It shouldn't be too unachievable at all... the going out is based on £20 a night for each night I don't have the girls, but in reality I don't spend that much or go out each night, so should easily save there.. and the misc is based on £20 a week.. again.. rarely spend that.. plus I've got my cab expenses to come... so yea.. so hopefully hit that and then some :)

  • Sar,
    I know you've said you want to spend £3k on a car but tbh, you needn't. Honest!

    DH went and got my car 1.5 years ago from the auctions and it's been brill-an X Reg 206 and was owrth nearly double that. I've only had to change a few things on it-normal car upkeep. If you need help, just ask as DH would be glad to assist Im sure.

    Well done on going forward.
    YOu'll do it xxxx

    I know I don't need to spend 3k. I want to save 3k, that way I've got enough for something decent and for possibly tax/mot etc. I'm just sick of having bangers that cost me a fortune in repairs and maintenance! lol

    you sound very organised (as always ;) ) and I think you have an excellent plan in place.

    From what bit I know about cars, I would recommend something German (VW perhaps) or Japanese (Honda).
