That's probably why he said it

Isn't Euro 2008 soon? Should be a good money maker without England?

My loan payment has cleared so I'm now sub £9,000! :T

And also at the moment I think I have about £3,000 all dotted around in bank accounts, bookies, ISA's, Premium bonds and bottle banks! It's hard keeping track of it to be honest!:rotfl:

Want to make another £500 this month to push me to about the £3,500 limit which then gives me June to add at least another £1,000 hopefully £1,500. Then I'll be looking at £4,500-£5,000 without including July's money which will be a right touch.

SS: I don't normally post on your thread coz you don't need help (I'm not a psychiatrist!) However; the way you are going with your saving may be worth looking to buy a place rather than rent? You'll have a 5% deposit for a £100k place in no time.

ON the other hand you may not then be able to afford the zebra print sofas, 50 inch tv, cocktail bar .....................

valid point peb especially with the credit crunch the prices are slowing down just now

Thanks peb. :rotfl:

The problems I have is 1) getting the deposit quick enough to save my sanity from living at home :rolleyes:

2) I think prices will be even lower in a year or 2 anyway

3) I'm not sure where I'll be working in a couple of years time so don't want to stitch myself up with a beast of a commute if I don't have to

I thinking renting is the way to go for me and when I've paid my loan off I'm aiming to save at £500 aswell!
