    Jen, you can have stocks and shares ISA which you can put £3,600 in per year, and a cash ISa which you are allowed to put the same again in.

    why dont you set aside say £50 to treat u and dd to a day out so you feel like u are treating yourself and then be sensible with the rest? Or keep this money for the debt and use your car boot money for treats?

    i know mm i AM going to write a list of the things i want the decide what i want most. i really want an outside tap so i will get that. i am not sure when the cheque will arrive and i am not spending it till i have banked it!! i feel i should save the cheque and continue with my dfw journey as i am learning so much about making saving money and i think i would stop if i was debt free with no motervation.
    i am hoping the cheque for the high school musical tickets arrive tomorrow!!! they are driving me made.

    thats great jen- I was thinking about the new thread- should we carry this one on til the end of 2009? Or start a new one when the first person gets debtfree? I'm fine either way what does anyone else think?
