    Thanks for the new thread savvy, I am sure it will be full of lovely glitches and bargains.
    Mortgage debt 45,000. Thank you all for your help so far in helping me save to buy the house. I could not have done this without all your help.

    Re the new car "debate"

    I bought a 9 year old volvo 9 years ago incl 6 Months Tax (£100) for £800, apart from tyres, brakes etc which no warranty will cover, I've never spent a penny on it!:D

    so it cost me less than £100 a year...!!;)

    Never been one to keep up with the Joneses!!:cool:

    In 1962 my grandfather bought a Ferrari 250 GTO for £6000.

    I have since inherited it.

    Today, it is valued at £10 million +
