    evening all!

    I can't keep track of our thread - I posted this morning and had to read two whole pages to catch up!

    Firstly, Lamarsi...I sympathise with your situ, but hot vimto??really????? I think I'd rather have black tea!

    KipKip - what kind of car have you got? Nov 08 I had a Nissan x Trail (yes very grown u and I am only 26, but one of those decisions that got me on this website!!!) I was driving and it suddenly started going putt putt and wouldn't go above 30. It turned out it was the fuel. I had filled u at tesco, and some places put a de icing agent in the diesel to stop it freezing. This ten clogged up my fuel filter and the tank needed draining and the filter changing. Yours might be nothing like that but I have known it happen to other people so I thought i'd mention.

    And Liggin - I understand how you feel about not telling people, but It'll feel so great to be able to tell people about the progress you're making.

    My car went in for a service today...£64 it started. By the time it was done it was £146 later! It ended up needing new brake pads and discs as well. Just my luck at the moment.

    This board really helps me put things in perspective though and keeps me positive even though sometimes I don't feel with it.

    Thanks guys

    xx

    Ps - My girl dog Mia is full of beans today after her spaying yesterday - can't keep a Stafford down for long!!!

    Just paid another £5.00 to fiance.... i was expecting some money in from quidco into my bank but it's not appeared there yet so had to go into my purse and only had a £10 note and no £1 coin to put in my pig for my £365 savings challenge so had to break the £10 to get my £1 coin and my fiance only had £5 so thought well you may aswell have the £5 off what i owe you!!! Can't believe that i did it but i want it paid off this month anyway so only £15 left to go!!!

    Total so far £21.96 / £10k
