    Forgot about that one! Me too!!

    I made the mistake of looking at a property site yesterday... Flats are cheaper than I thought, and I could realistically get a 5% deposit together in a year. If I save half my take home pay for the year! There is a nutty bit of me that wants to try it, but another that knows I don't need that kind of pressure. Got a review with my boss next Monday, and I'm going to ask how long til we usually hear feedback from our annual review (I.e. when do I get my pay rise?)

    I'm dying to make a payment, hope something sells on flea bay soon!

    Hello

    Another couple of people have paid for stuff on ebay and so I have paid another chunk off of my credit card.

    #11 - £2500.31/£10,224 = 24.46%

    I hope to be back later in the week if the rest of the people ever pay!!
