    Thumbs up Reached the Newest Goal!

    *yay*

    We are going to test drive (what will hopefully be) our new car tomorrow! We went to look at a car on Wednesday but it wasn't quite upto scratch - well scratches were one thing it WASN'T short of, lol.

    But we want it to be the right one, it's a lot of cash (just over £12,500) and we've worked hard to save it so why not have high standards! Fingers crossed this shiny black bit of loveliness is the one for us. It's only 6 months old and I can't quite believe we're going to sit in a car so new. I keep saying to DH "will someone really sell us something so nice?" lol.

    I never ever thought we could actually save this money to buy something so expensive (well it's a lot of money to us) and it blows me away whenever I log on and have a peep at the balance! I feel like we can do anything now... ONWARDS AND UPWARDS.

    Thanks everyone for all your great stories and motivation. *stops typing due to emotional moment*

    Well you can do anything now . WTG and here's hoping your new ride is all you'd hoped it would be (isn't paid for a beautiful color?!).
