Hi Ruby - agreed with Dinah and CMD. Even if you have to use all your savings to pay for these things and start again from scratch, it's always nicer to see your savings go up than the debt come down - if you know what I mean! Both are obviously nice but given the choice...
Re. Pass Plus, well by now you should be used to driving in the dark as you passed your test in the depths of winter. Motorways are probably the easiest driving you'll experience - great condition roads, clear signage, loads of room for overtaking etc etc and you're not going any faster than you would on an A road. Rather than finding someone to go out with you why not go out on your own to build your confidence? Getting used to your car and the 'ways of the road' with no one there to advise you is probably the best way to learn.

Tete makes a really good point, Ruby. The only way I really got comfortable driving on the motorway was going on it by myself, with a slushie and Taylor Swift album to block out the fear with heartbreak.
Hope you got in touch with the o2 lady, NIM! I think the brick sounded like a magnificent idea. It would have shown that you can think *outside* the box.
How's everyone this morning? Freezing at work because the boiler's on the blink, hoping it just naturally gets warmer later on. It's my Gran's Birthday so I'm off up to see her after work. Got a photo of me, OH and my Sister framed for her. Poor dear! Me and OH are on a challenge to spend £5 tops on people this year, having to think things through a lot more and everyone seems to be getting way nicer presents than last year.0
