Good Morning.Had 2 pay £50:eek: towards the cost of getting a new windscreen yesterday cos there was a crack had developed on the old 1.Went through the insurance but our premium will not be affected cos it was part of the policy,we just have 2 pay the 1st £50.Think it was caused by the weather as the temp rose that quick on Boxing day.Putting another £110 in my I.S.A 2day so ill end the yr with £300 in it with hopefully another £1200 put in it before 31st March 2011.Happy New Yr Everyone!

Yes my debt free date is only 10 days away!Have come a long way from owing nearly £4000 2YRS ago.The only downside is that i wont have money 2 buy Christmas presents till 22nd December but itll be worth it just 2 be debt free.Plan 2 close this diary in 10 days time and the new challenge will be saving money 2wards my ext for the house which is going through planning permission at the minute so im hoping 2 start that project in April/May 2013.Have roughly £8000 saved up 2wards it but itll prob cost around £30,000 so the more i can get saved up next year the less ill have 2 borrow off the mortgage.
