    :wave: Hey again sweetie,

    I'm ever so pleased that you and your wife are giving all the options full consideration cos they all have pros and cons - and I'm really glad I didn't offend you with my cheeky CCCS comment! :Dslightly cheeky yes:p but more than a hint of truth in it;)

    I just wanted to make a suggestion on the Tesco front...

    Since we've been debt busting, we've sold both of our fairly newish shinyish cars and bought one old diesel estate heap for £1k - and hubby has it from 7am until 8:30pm 5 days a week, and at the weekend he does gardening, little removals and clearance jobs in it for people.

    So I hardly ever have access to a car, :doh: (which ir probably for the best as I am a rubbish driver anyway!) but I get my shopping delivered for free using codes from here:

    Delivery areas are usually pretty wide as Mr T has a policy of competing hard with other retailers for territory so hopefully this would work for you too.

    Delivery is from £3.99 - £6.75 around here depending on when you have it delivered and I usually gor for the cheapest delivery and have a voucher for at least a fiver so I'm even making on the deal. :D....I could be wrong but i but i think my wife gets free deliveries in edinburgh...ill ask her about that one

    Plus... Since I joined the Grocery challenge and read lots of info on Moneysaving Old Style our monthly supermarket spend has dropped from £650+ to between £250 - £315 (except for Christmas! :o )

    That extra dosh has made such a massive difference to our debt repayment rate I can't even tell you! :dance: that really is a serious saving and im going to follow up on that

    Anyway, I hope you're both feel a bit more confident that there's a solution for you, and less stressed out about it all.still stressed but is nt that a way of life:confused::rotfl:

    Love Jacks xxx :D

    Thanks for the pointers and very much appreciated

    when you see the savings and start to see you Debt Free Date come ever closer it will motivate you to make more savings and shave even more off you debt free date and with a combination of always having an eye out for the best deals and hard work your debt free date will be here before you know it.
