    Scott, you need a wallet to put your money in! ;) £130 found a few weeks/ months ago, and then this £30 and you haven't missed it? You have a rather casual attitude to cash that could be costing lots :eek: ( I promise I'm not trying to be patronising :D)

    But I still think you're doing fantastically well :T

    Ouch! My car is going to the garage in a couple of days and I can already feel my blood pressure rising at the thought of what it will cost me :( Can't be avoided though as I need it for work!

    I feel like that too. As soon as think I will have a little money left over at the end of the month, something breaks or a large bill arrives. If I look at last year, I feel like I was treading water and going nowhere fast financially And if I look at the year ahead, well I don't even want to go there..... :mad:
