  • I think I could cover E300 between now and July with minimum effort, it is just that any extra is going to Halifax but yes HWG - it would set me back about a month on current income (sales should go up in the summer)

    Showed DH the deal last night.............then showed him the 4*deals and he said 'well thats a no brainer'. I tell you we think we are royality!

    Essay two will be completed this weekend - I have decided!

    So DH has been offered a good van at a good price (£2500, was expecting to pay £5000 for spec he needs) so I suggested asking for a bank loan!!!

    He said 'may as well ask for £5000 then and enjoy ourselves!!!

    I ask you?????? Not a bloody clue does the man have, one year on and he doesn't get it - NO MORE DEBT!
