  • Hmmm. Option 4 looks tempting - not! I'll bet you've paid it all off well before the due date.....

    Happy watching - we treated ourselves to a new TV (not as big as yours though) earlier this year and it's fab!

    No 2 Sounds good! but then so does No 1 and 3........... just not No 4
    DEBT FREE 23/FEB/07 TWO YEAR's!! £2 £1020.00 Banked New total £268+ and counting SAVINGS 3000.00- ISA £30. :j
  • I would go for a combination of no 3 & no 2! I would spilt the amount by 11 (starting next month and ensuring paid off before 12 months is up) and pay that by standing order - so £90.45 per month. But also pay off any extra bits as and when. Is that do-able?
  • I'm thinking number 2 myself.. treat it like we've been treating the cards.

    I would set up a SO too IA, we need to save a massive amount by the end of next April and I have split it into 7 equal payments and set up a SO to our savings account as soon as we get paid so there will be no doubt we will have it all by then.

  • Re the potty, now my DS 3 in Feb and not in the least bit interested in going on the po either although he gets very excited at flushing and knows EXACTLY what you do on the loo/potty as he will "read" his potty book to me and explain LOL. But I have heard it tell that if you line the potty with a nappy that sometimes works. As I said I have no clue. I cannot get him to sit on one or the loo and even if I manage he WON'T go on it, I am sure the little blighter holds on until he gets off - he is SO my child! How old is Ash now?

    She'll be 3 in march so am not putting too much pressure on her yet as don't want to scare her off it altogether..
    She knows exactly what to 'do' on the potty and toilet.. complete with loo roll and washing hands.... she loves wandering around naked and always wants her nappy off so god knows.. lol.
