    Ah :) good idea!

    Hm my friend is coming over to stay on Sat after footy. I think if we win I shall get Dominos, if not I shall go to asda and buy a cheapo pizza. :o

    Didn't think about that.... doh. Its Wycombe vs. Eastwood (luckily Eastwood is only an hours away from Stafford so an easy drive there, not much petrol).

    Well I quite like playing Chelsea, although not very fond of some of their support, most are good. Never played Arsenal but our striker wants to play them in FA Cup 3rd Round.

    I assume from your mass saving techniques you don't go to the games?

    Oldham actually have a very good record against Chelsea you know! :)

    Also shall be putting my customary fiver on Manchester City to win the derby.

    Oh er, savings, yeah. Not so good there. I haven't been overspending as such, just had no income recently! Should be able to put another £1,500 in the pot though in January.

    I live 300 miles away from the Emirates Stadium and it would take me 5 hours to travel if i get the train. I'm really an armchair supporter when It comes to football.

    Hey guys. How's everyone getting on? Pay day today so time for an update, managed to save £400 this month so my total savings stand at £11,717. :T (Sorry for the odd figure OCD'ers but that's because my ISA is maxed out for the year.) Feel like this is a pretty good achievement, I don't have a target as such so it's just the more the merrier, especially in these credit crunch times.

    How's everyone getting on?

    I'm ashamed to say that my ISA isn't quite maxed out. I left £10 a month leeway, to make adjustments for interest :o

    I will have to cope with the odd number for a few days in March and April - the last 08/09 interest will be added on 27th March - I'll then put in all that I can still, to make use of the last few quid, and then it'll have to stay ugly til 6th April :(
