    Good to have a plan :)

    I would look into a car club if you live in a town...I know people who swear by them. The benefits of a car without the ongoing costs..

    Take care and not sleeping won't help so please try and sleep x

    Loving all the plans for the future, you can do it DDFW! My DH doesn't know either so I'm with you on that one :(

    PB sorry to hear about your house and job, what a pants few days. Hope it all works out better in the end.

    Hi ladies! :wave:

    Sorry to be MIA. Thanks for all the kind comments It means a lot.

    Jwil: glad to see you back. How is baby Jwil?

    Dedicated: Sheesh, you aren't having much luck, are you? What exactly is wrong with the car?

    As for your phone, you need to find the 'restore factory settings' option (normally somewhere in 'settings' but it varies from phone to phone) and you should be able to wipe all the data from the phone.

    Hope that helps. Chin up. xxx

    Thanks for the nudge SF - i wasn't going to list today as the quality of light isn't good for pics but thought i'd get things on anyway and can always change pics another time :)

    Listed items - if all sell at start price then thats £115 towards total. Will list other £200 worth this weekend.

    So much of reaching target is dependant on stuff selling and i don't know how i'll raise the final amount.

    At the end of nov i'll need to re-visit amounts owed as i'll have definite figures.
