    that's great amy you are doing brilliantly!! Bet your mum didn't think you'd be paying her back that quickly!
    Think I'm off to bed now, gotta be up early- night all

    I dont think mum thought I would be paying her back at all... :rotfl: In the nicest possible way she was worried. But she is very proud of me so thats great. And my dad even said he was proud of me for not getting into more debt (getting a car on HP) and sorting myself out. :D

    Night night MM. Hope all goes well for your OH tomorrow.

    Wont be on during the day, but will be on in the evening.

    Thanks amy-just dropped him off but wasnt allowed to wait, just hope i can find my way back round the maze when i go to pick him up!!
    You'll be fine Amy dont worry-and you have to post a photo of it when its done!!
    Hi jen, you'll be a month ahead coz i wont be df til end oct (fingers crossed!) :-)
    I'm just hoping that i can keep up the momentum of saving as i have with the debt payments. I think having the 'full isa' challenge will help a bit as i will have a set amount to aim for. Will start that as soon as im debtfree and like you will carry this years on until april 2010, if i can do the same the year after i could have my mini in april 2011-yay my birthday month!! unlikely though unless i get a lot of jewellery sales(havent had any for 3 weeks :-( )

    Hey MM..

    Ooo im all excited now. Just had a bath and washed my hair. About to straighten it and then im off... :j

    I hope I can keep up the savings as well, but its all for the house so i should be ok. I need £3.5K for solicitors fees etc. and then I wanted some extra in case I need any furniture (sofa is a must!) and then maybe £1000K in savings "just in case".
