Hiya all.

Hiya CL, long time no see, lots of changes in my life since you gone, good luck with the studying.

You need to decide Jen, new car or house.

I am thinking about going travelling for a while but wonder if its just running away, always wanted too do it but now have nothing holding me back....:o

jenjade

go for it ~Dawn!!

I think i need a newer car mine has been playing up a little bit it is an r reg so quiet old. Also it is due MOT and TAX in october so that will cost a far bit!

i will get a new car i was going to spend about 2k though and this one is dearer but it is very local so my uncle could check it over for me.

I wonder if i could borrow 2k on a 0% card?

Might be worth a try Jen.

Thing is if i go travelling it means quitting my job as they wouldn't just let me take a few months off unpaid.

Also "he" is supposedly going travelling too, don't want him thinking i am copying him, not that i actually think he would have the finances too.

Hi Dawn

I say 'go for it' :j:j

PS - doesn't matter what 'he' is/isn't doing - it's all about you now

jenjade

i think go for it to but bear in mine how hard it might be to get a job when you return?

lilmissmup

Yeah I know, its only a very vague idea right now, i am in my new house for another 5 months at least so wouldn't go until next year and would need to save some more cash.

Just wish i had a friend that would go with me..

jenjade

well having something to aim for and look forward to would be a good idea, do you think any of your mates would go with you?

Hi LM,

Good changes I hope..?

I dunno what do to with myself today. I hate Saturdays. We were supposed to be going shopping but my mum isn't feeling too well.

Jen the car sounds nice. Sometimes I really wish I could drive...
