    I hope you get a bonus Amy, that would be really good :).

    I'm a bit of a grammar nazi Hayley, so if you like I'd be happy to check it over for you. I'm doing job stuff today too, everyone seems to want a new job!

    Sounds like a good plan amy-nice to have a bit of savings as a back up.

    Thank you so much everybody, you guys are brilliant :A :A

    Hopefully i will have it completed by the end of July, closing date is not until August. I want to spend as much time as possible on it as its going to be hard work. Luckily i have the OH to help me write it as he's been where i am now and got the job, that was 7 years ago :D

    I am worried about the fitness test, but i wouldn't call myself unfit so i shoud be fine :rolleyes:

    I'm bored too,just spent half an hour looking at finance options on a MINI until i gave myself a good kick back to reality!! dont worry i'm not considering it,was just wondering how much all these people were paying to drive around in nice shiny cars! What suckers, they will lose about 5 grand in a year!

    :rotfl: Ah thats what me and my sister call cats/kittens... mittens...:p

    Oh good on you for just checking, kind of makes you realise what a big con it all is. You basically loose money on a new car as soon as you drive it off the forecourt. I saw a new shape mini the other day and thought of you (it was red :D ).

    I keep looking at houses. :rolleyes:

    Fitness test! Don't even get me started... for someone within the normal weight range for my height I'm so unfit. It's one of the things I'm going to work on when I have a bit more money.

    Stay strong Mabel, you don't want to end up like me!
