    Well, I need to get a different car at some point. Mine has had two major problems and so I've lost confidence in it. The type of car I want is more expensive so I would have to save for it.

    I'm going to uni in September and that is my priority at the moment. So putting money aside for that - I'm determined not to get into debt. The course I am doing will be funded by a bursary and also I should be able to get a grant. It will be a little tight probably but I shall contiune to visit these boards and doing everything in MSE style. Once I graduate, I will be on a good salary so can start looking at getting a place of my own - that is my ultimate goal.

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    Wonderful news to hear there's another Debt Free Wannabee. Now I've explained the cost elsewhere - you have to stay here - help others and write a big post about how you did it :)
