    Mine has paid for my car MOT (it passed!) and car service next month. Was going to put off the service if the car needed work to get it through it's MOT but I can get it done now so not having to pay CT is very useful.

    Mortgage free since 2014 :)

    Yep! I'd check it out too. Mine is £81 and I'm in a 2bed semi with an attached garage and it's not ex council. Value at height of property boom was about £140k, current value probably around £100-110K.

    Mine does include the 25% single occupancy rebate though.

    I would prefer it if it was Dec & Jan, but nevermind putting the money towards paying off my car two years early at the end of March :)
    No you're not a vegetarian if you eat any animal or fish, so do not insult genuine veggies by calling yourself one! :mad:

    Thanks to everyone who posts competitions. You are the stars of the board :T:j:T
