    Savings? Sorry, what are those again?? :rolleyes:

    Those are like debt repayments except they don't go anywhere so pile up inside your bank. A bit like financial constipation.

    After the debt repayments finish of course.

    (ps - Zed, I've seen your questions on my thread and I am going to answer them, I'm not ignoring you - just been feeling too fed up to tackle anything for the last few days, sorry)

    I know. I don't ask easy to answer questions do I?

    Most people claim I'm an immortal for my posts - they look at all those questions and go "Oh God..."

    Just spotted you mentioned Tesco vouchers on Hypno's thread. Tesco's do a BSM intro pack as one of those deals. It includes I think the first 5 lessons and books etc. I bought the packs for my two.

    Thought it might be an idea of a start towards the driving lessons.

    I think too if you go though quidco some places give either free lessons or cashback. Might be worth a root around.
    Hope you are good today?

    We are off out to a National Trust place to do a mystery shop - means that we basically get a free day out, although the weather is dubious!!

    I hope you sleep well. If hermione does sort the figures out, can you send her over my way when she's done?

    Hey Hermione, once you're done with all the financial stuff, could you magic up a bit of sunshine? We've been trying to take Ryan to the seaside all week, but we keep getting rained off...lol.
