    Part 1 - £13,650 drops to £29.46 for the month, or 97p per day. Yay, under £1 :j

    Yay!
    Savings are up at £11,785, all earning higher interest than the mortgage rate - at the moment! See what BoE does tomorrow.

    Indeed - I'll be curious about this as well.

    Oh AlexLK, that photo reminds me of a while back (lets not get into how much of a while back :o)

    I know nothing about cars - nothing - but I do know BF had an Austin Healey Sprite in black with a soft top, felt you were 2" off the ground. Don't think I would manage either in or out of one now :rotfl:and BF used to have a private reg that once appeared on a tv advert just 1 digit out :p:D

    Thought of you today Alex when I saw a beautiful off white e-type Jag :smileyhea, sounded great as well!
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

    :rotfl: I've got a Spitfire just like that one. :) In some ways I do wish I'd been around when all the cars I like were new. From older generations I talk to through the cars I own, it seems everyone was more enthusiastic about motoring back in the '60's / early '70's.

    :rotfl:Now, just - 'Haud the Bus' (Glaswegian for wait). I don't mean it was new, so it was certainly not the '60's/early 70's :p I'm talking probably early '80's - not that much different - I hear you say :eek: :rotfl::rotfl:
