    I kept thinking my preffered moving date was 8 weeks, but it's only 7 weeks! :eek:

    And I've included July's matched betting winnings in my calculations when clearly I shouldn't have! :doh:

    Hmmm. Gonna have to go recount the figures now! :rolleyes:

    OK I really need to getting round to telling my folks I'm moving out! :rotfl:

    Will do it this weekend. I think. What a coward I am! :p

    Got a week off soon so will spend that time looking at pads. Am now aiming to save £5,000 by the time I move, have about £3,000 at the moment. Not quite sure why £5k as I won't spend anywhere near that, but I suppose it's just a good target to go for while I still can. Whatever is left over can be put towards the loan.

    It's starting to stress me already! :rolleyes: :rotfl:
