    I was thinking of getting an Elephant rather than the Dragon...........but I'd get fed up with being asked if I could pick up buns!;)

    I see you more as an aardvark kind of guy :rotfl:

    Hi kayleigh, I know what you mean about spending money on cars and at what point should you stop. If you have a car in your life be it new or used you are gonna spend money on it eh. What I am trying to do is budget for Car Repairs. Im putting ex amount to one side every month and letting it build up. I only started las month and I had over £400 to pay out on repairs for an MOT too which means this month I cant put any away lol. So I am hoping from next month to start building it up again :D

    That's an idea, think I'll use that ING savings account for that once I get it set up, which means I'll have £20 towards next year's MOT as it is. :D I've just kept throwing as much money towards my debts as I possibly can at the moment and neglected to think that things actually might have the nerve to break in the meantime. :D But yes, by this time next year I'll try to have a fund for car expenses that will actually cover the repair bill.

    It's not just cars that break down, It is a good option to an "emergancy"fund set a side, Have you looked at daily clicks? not brilliant and it does take a good few months to get any money paying out

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
