Thanks for the support everyone :T

I have PADded £2 into my ISA this morning as my mortgage overpayments account doesn't accept Faster Payments which means that anything I request today won't go through until Monday which is just confusing. I should have done my PAD to the VSP today as that's a Friday thing, but I forgot so will do that tomorrow!

It's also Free Listing on Ebay this weekend if anyone's looking to get rid of some stuff. I think I'm going to be listing excess crafting items (again!) and am going to have a hunt for anything else that isn't nailed down that I can sell :rotfl:

Well, guess what I've been doing tonight? :rotfl::rotfl:

I haven't been to Harry Potter tonight as the new one was all sold out, but I'm hoping to go tomorrow with my friend. I also need to sort out some stuff for Ebay, but probably not until Sunday.

Tomorrow, in a not very MFW turn of events, I'm off car shopping with Mr Fresian. Our car is elderly, and her MOT is due very soon, as is the car tax (£140 for 6 months, urgh) I don't think she'll pass without costing me a fortune. It's beginning to make more financial sense to buy a more economical car, perhaps even one that was built in this century. We're going to check out a few dealerships - I have a strong idea of what I want (shiny new car, cost be damned) as does Mr Fresian (to stop me in my plan to blow a large amount of cash I don't have)

Tomorrow morning I'm doing a new SOA to make sure that if I do borrow funds for a car that it's affordable and that I have money set aside for emergencies. It's beginning to look like a sensible choice though as I'm going to be doing more travelling between different offices in the next few months and I'd rather be in my own vehicle than at the mercy of Scotrail.

Update will come tomorrow when I've had a wee look round the dealerships

Hi FF,

I've seen a few posters mention Swagbucks - is it a survey site? And is it any good? If so pm me a referral if you want.

I've got one of those £20 road tax per year card, a Toyota Aygo, it's great, cheap ins and petrol too (if you can call petrol cheap!) You could check out which models are in the £20 a year bracket, i think there are quite a few.

Will PM you in a sec, just need to remember where I find my referral link

Swagbucks is part survey site, part search engine. I use it as my default search engine and you normally "win" bucks a couple of times a day. I also do their daily polls, surveys and watch SBTV to win more points. I like it a lot, but it's not to everyone's taste.

Regarding car tax - I really like the look of the Suzuki Swift which is £30 per year for the diesel version. Hoping to test drive one tomorrow
