    Hi Amy, ignore those idiots on the other forum, some people just love trying to make you feel bad-total £$%$ers.
    Cool -extra £110 !!! and your projected debt payments savings look great! sounds like you are really on track for a great 2009.
    I'm trying to find a pic of a mini to use for my target sheet but my printers run out of ink so i cant print one out and cant afford to buy a magazine! might have to draw one lol

    Hi Tubby

    Just thought i found some more websites that might be good for finding somewhere to rent (not sure if they do just for buying or rented as well).

    www.propertyfinder.com

    www.primelocation.com

    Might be worth a look?

    Think i might have a bit of trouble getting the one i want second hand coz theres so many options, for a start i only drive automatics and if you look at autotrader in my (eventual ) budget there are only 6 nationwide and none are the colour/spec that i want. oh well give it 2/3 years and there will be more i suppose!!

    I'm sure there will be loads in 2/3 years. At the mo people probably arent getting any new cars because of the credit crunch.

    Im sure people will want to treat themselves soon though.
