The 'I want it NOW!!' debt/savings thread Part 2

Well done Jen, my bank balance is looking pretty poor too. I'm off to a fairly good start, I've written and posted an important letter. I have some library books to take back in a bit, and I'm contemplating meeting my friend later.

just had my contents insurance renewal through and they wanted me to pay £9.88 a month phoned them up and got it down to £8.82! yeah every little helps!

Nichelette

Wow, that was pretty cheap to start with Jen, I can't wait for the day that I'm over 25 (in insurance terms anway), there was almost no difference in the price of my last two premiums in spite of the extra year no claims .

i phone then every year and they drop a bit off. It is only for contents and the last claim i had was back in 2003! So i have been with them along time

Nichelette

I should read properly, I automatically assumed it was car insurance . I wish it was 2003 again,that was a good year .

jenjade

what happened in 2003? sounds nice

i am due a good year i recon this year is it i just need to meet a man i am ready to buy the house etc I must start going out more

I was at college so I had no debt, no responsibility (well, apart from my job at Sainsbury's), no car, my parents were still together, and for the first time in long time I didn't have much to worry about (my parents seemed to be involved in one court case or another through the majority of my childhood and I always got roped in to writing letters for them). I'm a born worrier like my mum so it was nice not to do much, and it was sunny on my birthday that year lol.

jenjade

When is your birthday? I am determind to make this year a good year i will either be buying a house, car or a lovely holiday! Might go for all 3!

It's the 7th of May so about 10 weeks away. The weather was terrible on my 21st, it was stormy and rained really heavily all day, last year it was in the middle of the really hot spell we had in May, it was gorgeous but I had to sit inside and write my dissertation all day.

I think all three of those would be pretty expensive Jen, but go for it lol.

jenjade

I am really annoyed i just wrote a really good long review on dooyoo and the place i wrote it on is not on the site but i thought i had checked the other day so i have saved it but now i need to write another one!
