    Ok, so I've not posted for a while. I had a few money things come up and have been dealing with those, as well as being busy with work and other things.

    So, here's where I'm at:

    My last lot of insurance was costing me over £1000 P.A. :eek: (which is terrible I know). So, I did some shopping around and instead of paying monthly (nearly £100 pm :eek:) I used some of my saved money to pay my new insurance in one lump sum. I got it down to £400, thanks to MSE :T In the process I have saved over £600 and have less monthly outgoings :D

    So, with a little extra put in my new total is:

    #130 660/3000 22% paid

    Hopefully I'll getback to where I was soon enough :)

    Keep up the good work everyone :)
