    Hi Palema - not joining in this time - all extra cash is going into paying my brilliant mum back some of the money she has given us to use as a deposit on our new house. However, I just wanted to thank you for last year's thread - VSP is ecxellent and I will definitely be back next year. I used the money to pay for some of our conveyancing fees, which was really helpful this time of year as extra cash is non existent!

    Thanks again and good luck to all the 2011 VSPers! x
