    Time you learned discipline then. Life is not full of people telling you what to do all the time. Sometimes you've got to think, and think not of the now, but of the future.

    If you can't think of the future, then you should not have had children.

    Its funny Bun I almost crept back into that way of thinking today when I rocked up to Ballet in our old car...there was part of me that was embarrassed but then I just thought to myself when we had the big flashy car we had no money and it was just for show. We now have money to pay off our debts and will hopefully pay them all off this year...who gives a carp about what car I drive at least I know what I own I own and what you see if what you get with me!

    Well to be honest, mines a mess. But it's my mess and it goes very quickly and stores loads of crap.

    Next one is going to be smaller.

    We have a MPV which is exactly the right size for us with teenagers and camping abroad but OH has an ancient banger of a car which costs us around £300 a year to maintain, still cheaper than a new one.

    We are going to drive them both until they die, I want to be Mortgage free by the time Im 40:beer:
