lilmissmup - the 2011 saga - staying debt free whilst starting a new life!

Hi Lillmiss, I still do an odd survey...and a very occasional click! X

lilmissmup

Haven't done a survey in ages either but need to start those two. I really enjoyed dooyoo though just need to check pay rates as spend a fortune on amazon would be nice to have vouchers. I miss the good old days of £50 qype amazon vouchers

lilmissmup

Right savings are now transferred to the Post Office account I set up last week so am earning interest again on those! DD is set up for £200 each month so thats £2200 over this year minimum.

Trying to start sorting my stuff to move.....is quite hard to get rid of stuff I dont need!!!

Gonna go take a look at Dooyoo soon too see how the land lies.

lilmissmup

Well Dooyoo is sadly prob not worth doing anymore unless I am really bored or have spare time, only 10p per review now for most categories!!! :cool:

Done one anyway, had 2000 points I had lost as not been on in so long too. Still might come in handy for amazon vouchers I guess.....

Yay its Friday, just waiting for Simon to come get me and wondering where he is.....

I am thinking bout buying a car.....I move to the middle of nowhere in a month so thinking bout buying a car which I can have me and Simon insured on and then I can drive myself about with him and try get some confidence up and get used to driving to work and back.

This will wipe my savings though, thinking bout buying it through work, but not sure, might get ripped off might get a good deal.

Dont think Simon will be happy unless I buy a polo though or VW as he loves them but I need to bite the bullet and dont really have time to take lessons right now but if I can drive round for a couple months with him and get my confidence back a bit by driving every day then start my lessons..... worried it might all backfire and I will just get scared and not drive it......:o

Dont wanna be getting train to work everyday though!!!

*am sure most of you know but failed my test 3 times in 2006 and not driven much since apart from 7ish lessons earlier this year!*

I'd defo get a car too - wouldn't be without mine. I passed my est 4th time

For a girl who had no interest in driving at the age of 17 when her parents offered to pay for lessons - It took for me to fall out with my ex best friend for me to learn to drive and pass my driving test at the 3rd attempt. I can honestly say it is the best thing I have ever spent my money on, now I love my car and I love driving.
Can you tell I'm another one who thinks you should bite the bullet and get yourself a car and pass your test
Good luck Dawn

Cheers ladies, I know I need to do it (just dont want too!!!), should prob buy a car from work as I work at a dealership, couple nice looking cars on website I emailed myself about will have a word with sales guys tomorrow as I should get it at trade price apparantly....

Cant afford to spend more than £2k though at moment, those cars are just over £3k so might have to put a deposit on and pay rest in month or two.....or could just wait!

Tonight I have finally unblocked my paypal account which has been blocked for nearly 3 months.

I need to start sorting myself to move too.......am doing this tonight by burning cds onto my laptop.....:p

Rant time....mini rant.

Told my Dad bout buying a car and he just moaned saying it was a waste of money etc, I didnt tell him years ago about driving as all he did was moan, hes a very negative person anyway but just winds me up and makes me feel like I am 16 and cant tell him anything!!!

22 days until I move out.....halleujah!!!!

Apparantly work has nothing suitable for me though one of the guys is gonna keep an eye out, might be going to see a car at a garage about 20miles away on Saturday, they still have it today but need to ring them and see if its still there Saturday.
