    I've not used this diary since last year but need to do some number crunching and some advice is needed so here we go...

    Incoming
    20th = £1554.10

    Outgoing
    £300 for car accident
    £750 for rent (May - Sep)

    Leaves £500

    What to do with it?
    I don't have a decent saver any more, is it worth dripping it into a regular saver?
    Or do I lend it to the parents to clear their debts?
    :confused:

    (It's in my student overdraft but I have the £1.5k aside to pay that back covered)

    I personally wouldn't lend it to your parents. It's their mess and they have to fix it.

    Keep it for yourself. :D

    They are starting to deal with it themselves though. Hmm, might put it aside for new car, but need a good saver...(the saving board scare me a bit :o). Any suggestions?

    well i quite like the alliance and leicester one it's paying 6.25% which is quite good ..and remember you can out £3600 into it this year ...all tax free which will help but kazza on the isa board has a brilliant list i would recommend you having a look there the list is updated regularly (just check the first post)
