Well done Danni! So lucky to have such a nice car! Can i see a photo? Im away to repaint my van! Apparently can be done for less than £50...alot better than £££s on a respray.

I'm so glad I don't run a car! Expensive little things they are. One of my friends bought a car immediately upon graduating even though she doesn't need one, mad!

tinkerbel

hmm I know what you mean about cars being expensive! £45 just on one tank of petrol! didnt used to ever cost this much, I think the price of fuel is going to grind this country to a standstill!
I've been reading this thread a lot, glad its being reinvigorated and not just about the fraud case (I hope that gets sorted danni and I'm sorry people have been horrible to you!) I am pretty skint at the moment, i have 400 in my account, and need £70 for sports kit ive allready given a cheque for, and £70 to pay my CC (but doesnt need to be paid for a while) and then £240 rent on the 1st of the month, its not looking good is it!? (this considering I have no income and this money was supposed to last me till easter (enfd of march!)... Any money making ideas anyone?

(forgot to say, my cureent a/c is on £400 dead on because I just moved £7.35 to savings in the sake of this thread and keeping going with the savings! Every little helps yeah?)

eBay? You can do 1/3/5 day listings and most buyers pay instantly.

Move some money back to your current a/c to ease short term cashflow problems?

Um...

Payday isnt till Friday but I'll be in Austria skiing by then (yay!) so I'm updating now with approximate amounts - if it ends up being different I'll sort it when I get back!

So £400 added to my total.

Payday a week on Friday, hopefully pre mot for my van on Thurs shows i need under £400 of work on van so il be able to put £750 into my ISA on the 5th of March...+ another £200 on the 19th. Meaning Isa will be full for this tax year and £950 in savings. Then il try and find higest apr ISA i can find. Any ideas?

Masomnia

Just been offered £27.14 for my old phone on Envirofone, lovely.

Mmm, my ISA is full for this tax year too, I'm just going to see what's available in April. At the moment rates aren't too goo, but I'd expect better rates to be available then. They're certainly not as good as this time a year ago.

skaps

well done rictus and masomnia for filling up your isas.
First direct has a 2.75% esaver which is fixed till next year sometime
