    Car Insurance and BT line rental for the year.
  • Couple of years ago I bought a laptop in the sales. This year hoping to put it towards a trip to Edinburgh to meet up with some American friends. I would like to pay all bills this way then it would really be worth something.

    Mine will be used to clear my credit card. I had got it all cleared shortly before Xmas but then had a problem with my car.

    The money was going to go toward helping to celebrate my 40th birthday soon. I would rather get debt free though :)
    The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.

    Into our car replacement fund. With two ageing cars we need to budget for repairs and replacement so spending it on a meal out or other extravagance would not be a sensible option. I prefer to budget for the crises before they arrive. History has taught me that they always come and ambush you when you least expect them!

    It will go some way to paying for another 500 litres of heating oil !
  • We'll be putting it towards insurance and servicing for the bike.
    If you lend someone £20 and never see them again, it was probably £20 well spent...
