    yay well done jen- how long to go now?
    Cool cath- you will need about 12 different savings accounts for all you want to save up for !
    Just going to have a cuppa and read the savings section of martins money diet book.Oh I didn't tell u lot about the book did I ?before u started this thread I posted on a thread asking who had got bargain car insurance, I got mine from the post office getting fifty pounds cashback from them and an additional twenty seven from quidco so insurance only cost £30. Couple if weeks later I got an email from mse admin asking if I'd mind if martin mentioned my username on it pays to watch as one of the people who got cheap insurance .of course I said yes , told everybody I was going to be on tv but on the night he only mentioned the guy who got it the cheapest and noone else :-( next day I pm'd the admin saying can Ihave a gold piggybank to compensate for my disappointment LOL , they replied saying that they were sorry they'd run outof time onshow, no piggybank but they would send me a signed book. 3 days later it arrived!! Pm'd martin to say thanks and said that if I was a comitted dfw I should sell it on ebay but I wouldn't LOL. Got a message back saying you deserve at least one luxury LOL
    Sorry for super long message !!

    Thats brilliant Jen! :j

    Wow MM you and Martin Best Buds! :p Is the book good? Think i may need something like that.

    Just about to start my spag bol, didnt do it last night cos of my head. But i realised the jar of dolmio in my cupboard went out of date last year! :eek: Just goes to show how often i cook properly for myself. So had to go to the shop and get some more, and then some bread/milk. And he gave me 2 £2 coins for my change, so they went into the pot. Which means i now have no money until i get paid. :rolleyes: Im sure i will cope!
