    trouble is if i suddenly need some money for an emergency and my parents go-thats ok,you have that money from your car in savings!! my debt is interest free so at the moment isnt costing me anything so i reckon the money would be better off in savings, if i am going to be debt free by next year anyway it would be a nice start to the car fund.


    confused!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:confused::confused::confused::confused:

    :rotfl: Im rubbish at making decesions.

    What i would do is do a pros and cons list.

    What pros could there be for selling the car early:

    * Its value would be higher

    * You would have savings gaining interest

    * Kick start for the new car fund

    etc.

    Cons for selling the car early:

    * Maybe a less reliable run around (?)

    etc.

    Would that help? Maybe a good idea and then you could see it on paper.

    hey thats great Amy, and i can't think of any other cons (apart from the hassle of selling which there would be at any time, i would have to get another car first but i know quite a few people in the trade who could prob find me one,possibly a few months of double insurance whilst it sells, again would be the same whenever i sell as i need a car to get to work (not on a bus route)
    hmmm,will have a word with oh tonight i think

    :rotfl: Dont know what you mean??? ;)

    Ok i have just worked out people who owe me money:

    My sister: £600

    My ex: £800 (its more but i reckon thats all i will get, if any!)

    Thats a grand total of £1400 :eek: my sister said she would be able to give me my money back August/September time, so thats good. The ex is unavailable at the mo :rolleyes:

    I have £100 pending in Quidco. £100 in ebay sales (pending). Hmmmm you know i might at least make 1/2 of the payment to my mum this year! :j
