    I really wish i had done mine when i was 17 like all my mates. I'm now 23 and didn't start learning until last year. I worked in London from the age of 17 to 22 so didn't really need a car, but now i work local i need a car to get to work and to get about. My best mate lives an hour away, i can't wait to be able to jump in the car and just go see her when i want, and not have to rely on my OH to take me.

    If the petrol prices continue to rise like they are now i won't be driving anywhere for the fun of it, i'll get myself in debt again :rolleyes:. My OH filled up the car today and diesel was nearly £1.30, thats ridiculous.

    :hello:

    Morning All.

    Cant believe its Monday morning again... urgh and im so tired, like i didnt sleep at all last night (when i know i did :rolleyes: ).

    I have just checked my ebay and an item has got bids, so thats great, and I think all of my items have watchers :D I know it doesnt mean they will bid, but makes me feel a bit better.

    I even have 3 watchers on 2 packs of laminate flooring i have had for over 3 years sitting in my cupboard (i overestimated how much i needed :rotfl: ).

    Was dreaming about my new house last night, i was decorating it :p
    Debt: just my mortgage :D
  • Hiya everyone, seems to be a bit quiet on here today so i though i would bump us up to the first page again. I cant believe how many new pages there are on here it just seems to be growing and growing.

    Well it sounds like everyone is doing very well, i kept spending to a minimum at the weekend ~ partly because i have no money to spend. I have listed a couple of bits and pieces on ebay, but plenty more to go on there still. Im hoping for a bit of a profit out of that!!

    Im really looking forward to moving into my new house now. We still need to save up a lot of the deposit (we have until the end of june) but OH seems to have that under control, i will contribute when i have freed up some money.

    I still need to withdraw my bingo winnings, OH has got some to do too. I think i might do that on my day off.

    MOT this week im hoping and wishing really hard its going to pass that will be the best thing ever and leave me with a bit of money for the debts.
    Proud to be Dealing with my Debts
