    Hi Jamie,

    That's great news! What are you going to do with it? I know you'll be tempted to put it straight on your debts (and this might not be a popular suggestion), but I know how hard you've been working to be debt free - could you give yourself and the kids a wee treat using half and pay the other half towards your debts?

    scottishspendaholic x
    MBNA = £4,000 / Next = £925 (approx. tbc on 19/8)
    Tesco = £2,910.11 / Smile overdraft = £500
    Bank of Scotland = £2,782.83

    hi scottish......
    well, i was planning on using the money to clear a bit more off the abbey overdraft lol

    kids and i are going out for dinner tonight which is all budgeted for as its DS1's birthday and we are going bowling too!

    and next week it is my birthday and i have been squirreling away £1 coins for 3 months for this....going for a chinese and then clubbing (havent been out for 6 months!!!)

    and out tomorrow for lunch as it is my sisters birthday (my parents are paying!)

    so i really feel we are having some treats anyway (might keep back £10 though and take them to wacky warehouse in easter holidays when DS3 is on respite)

    my kids have low expectations and are happy with anything we do so i dont feel tempted to blow it on rubbish!!!

    in fact when the letter came through this morning, the birthday boy said and i quote..." cool mum...are you gonna pay it into your isa coz thats 5.2%?"

    thats my boy!!!!!!
