    Good idea on a second hand frame.
    You can paint to match as you say & get a new mattress.

    I have decided that we aren't going to renew our V1rgin line rental saver, as we're thinking about moving away from them. I have used £105 of this pot to make a CC payment and now I have no CC with a balance of over £5,000 :j £0.99 under still counts :o

    I do not expect there to be many extra payments from now until the end of November, as we have a new bed, a DIY project and a few other unavoidable expenses coming up. I'll try for a last wee flurry in December and see if I can get things under £17,000 by year end.

    Plodding away :)

    *Edit: Have also moved our savings away from Chartered Savings bank as the sneaky !!!!!!s were paying us 0.1% interest on a balance of nearly £1,000! :mad:
