    Sounds like a good plan Tilly. I am only half way through my working life - have another 34 years to go until I can get a state pension :eek:! However I would like to think that I could retire around 55-60 years old. Being MF will be a step closer to this plan :).

    Only just back in from rabbiting - I have some lovely female friends who really challenge me and how I think and I LOVE it.

    We definitely have the car (picking up end of next week) and it was an amazing deal - extremely proud of Mr T and he said 'this is our money and I'm going to keep as much of it in our pocket as possible' - this really does show the turnaround in him.

    I will read the posts tomorrow and respond, for now I need to go to sleep - all this excitement is too much for me :rotfl:

    Well done on the car - another problem solved and well done Mr T :T:Ti:T
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    If anyone is interested extreme cheapskates is just about to start on TLC+1 -apparently it's 'a bit extreme' to say the least.
