    When I'm all done and clear I'm gunna buy myself a saxophone, I've always wanted to learn and the sooner I pay off my debts the sooner I can get myself some lessons! :D


    I only have my mortgage to clear but I am also saving up for a saxophone. Looking at least £300 so it is a long way off as there are other more important things to save for like a driveway, a new kitchen, bathroom new carpets etc etc etc.

    But good luck and heres to annoying your neighbours :rotfl:

    Stuff a duster in it. Makes it quieter but also helps you get stronger lungs as well according to what I have read.

    I'm nearly there - after two years. My plan is to take my extremely supportive and non-judgmental boyfriend out for a slap up meal in a posh restaurant, then join him in saving up a decent deposit for our first house!

    Can't wait!!!

    New car, brand spanking new :D

    A year is my aim.

    Saving will come later, for student days and eventually mortgages and all that jazz
