  • Rejigged our debt total, after nine months off we are up to £42K. :eek:I think that's about £5 K more, but almost all of that is our Oz flights, so will be gone fairly quickly, hopefully. Hey-ho. Off we go again.

    Do you want me to up the total to £42k on the nose?

    aloofdragon - got your target in! Sorry, I thought I'd said you were #214.

    argomatt - it's fair logic for the new car, I've been considering buying a newer car and have the same dilemma. Hopefully the loan will be gone soon, and you can work on getting a safety fund on the go for the next one! I've added you in as '#215 for the rest of this year, worth making a start!

    mossy - it's always so frustrating when you're wanting to make payments, and just have to sit and wait for the expensive months to pass! Hopefully you'll be able to have a few inexpensive months!

    Glittery - hope your FIL is OK, sudden change like that isn't great!

    amr - 9 days here. Can't come soon enough!
