    Actually, I really like Honda's, that is another one high on the list. There is a Civic for sale - and it is purple, my favourite colour!!! (obviously colour is close to reliability on the list of importance!)

    The most reliable cars are supposed to be Mazda and Toyota. Having said that, my Toyota has not been all that reliable.

    Should have went for the MX-5...
    There is the head in the sand issue of lack of pension to face as well this year I think.........

    Yes - that's quite important. Every year counts. Also, getting in now *may* insulate you from the government changing the T&Cs of your pension at a later date.

    Congratulations on the back pay - oh yea of little faith... ;)

    Hi OM

    avid reader if your thread. I can read them at work but can't post. So I had to wait until I got home.

    Really really pleased about the back-pay:j , just the bank charges now and the finish line will be in sight.:)

    Best wishes

    I'm on AQA - The DF trek doesn't stop now!!! (although flicking onto Auto Trader every now and again!) I've also started enveloping my court bundles for my bank charges. The first lot are ready to go tomorrow.

    Also made my lunch for tomorrow - reduced Hovis bread and Value Corned Beef - no caviar yet!

    Fantastic news OM!

    (I was on AQA at 7pm and there was nothing to do!)
  • Hi OM, just finished reading your diary and now I'm determined to do my own, and start to tackle my debts properly!

    If I carry on paying my debts off at the current rate, I wont be DF until 2014, and I'll be 40!
