    Well Done on paying off Citi by the way! If the car fails it's MOT make sure you take it home and shop around as they can be a rip off or try a Council MOT testing centre who won't want to rip you off?

    IA See Martins post on hunting for cheap car insurance. Try compare.com as well. My insurance is about £200 a year with just me driving.

    Still go onto Martins recommended sites as you may get it cheaper and then look to see if you can get cash back! Best of luck.

    Yep already tried it! No lucky.. bought an environmentally murderous paint stripper which got most of the green off but the black underneath is glass and isn't shifting!

    Hiya, not getting much chance to get online at the moment, but great news about Ste getting a full months wages. Pity Barclaycard are being such a pain - only another few months though and you will never have to deal with them again as long as you live lol!
