    Finally found out why my cat has been so poorly - she's had an aggressive tumour in her tummy. There was nothing more they can do as they didn't want to operate on a 17-year-old so we've had to let her go this afternoon. I rather depleted my savings over the last month or so so the ISA has fallen below £5k and the semi-regular expenses fund is all but cleared out too so I'm starting again there and trying to get the ISA back to above £5k again.

    Well, I honestly can't beleive I have got there .. but I have reached my target today!

    £21,000 exactly in savings!

    I'm so over the moon! My plan is now any money I get I will put into my "Uni Fund" and hopefully I won't have to dip into my savings ...

    So, In a dream world .. this time in 3 years, I will have a degree and still have £21,000 in savings! (fingers crossed)
