To do all 3 things I've estimated I need to find around another 12k . Do I get a loan or can I get some of my 75 k back out of the house ?
Also have 8k on an interest free credit card that Im paying off
Speak slowly Im a novice at this !
Need or want? There is a difference. If it's want, you should wait until you can afford it."There are not enough superlatives in the English language to describe a 'Princess Coronation' locomotive in full cry. We shall never see their like again". O S Nock0
