So work are going to ease me into the new role over the next few months but pay me the new salary from 1 December. This all sounds quite good...particularly with regard to a certain white tooth!:DDebt LBM (08/09) £11,641. DEBT FREE APRIL 2021.

Well mine aren't quite white Beanie
(and my head isn't green!) More sort of magnolia white.
Well the dentist was continually running teeth promotional video's and information screens like 'NHS patients must pay fully on their first appointment' (Nice and friendly see!)
This was rather worrying particularly as my costs are somewhere between £219 and £400. :eek::eek::eek::eek: So after my root canal work today (not nice, not nice smell, but fairly quick and not horrific! (Why do people have horrific stories stored up - a bit like childbirth stories!)) she asked me if I was paying in full today, and I said 'Not if I don't have to' so she's put me down for paying (probably £400) on 28th November, after next pay day:j:j:j:j:j:j

[*]dental work
[*]car tax

We are now out of surplus and into overdraft, 9 days before pay day. So I think I will be doing the NSD challenge for November and seeing how many I can get in before 15th!! Debt LBM (08/09) £11,641. DEBT FREE APRIL 2021.

Well since it looks like reliability is important to you (assuming from "Jap or German"), you may wish to take a look at http://www.anusedcar.com/
It's amusing that as cars age, the 911 becomes the most reliable.
There is also http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/best-cars/64280/most-reliable-cars and http://www.reliabilityindex.com/top-100 - the Lancer makes a surprise (for me) appearance there.
My Dad has a Honda Jazz and proclaims it to be a "woman's car" - so you may like it.
Depends if you like your cars like your men...
