Re: Reclaimed money, easy come/easy go or did you invest?
I am thinking ours will either be used to pay for a car for dp (i drive, already have a car, but we cant afford to buy another one at present).
Or if we decide to hold off for a bit with a 2nd car, then it will be used for a holiday, plus some set aside for the car in the future.
It could also be used to pay my bills next april when I qualify as a midwife, becuase there are only a handful of jobs avaliable and hundreds qualifying. Situation = Dire!
Then again im still at the bank statements stage, so dont know how much in charges we have racked up. Im gussing between our 2 bank accounts, plus credit card, that it is approx 1500-2000.
Re: Reclaimed money, easy come/easy go or did you invest?
I am going to be paying off debts mostly - should get rid of about 1/4 of them.. and spend some on myself!! I think I deserve it!!
I have also started to do money saving though and have become a bit of a scrouge, and saving up points and feebies - if I can get my partner to join in we could be completely dbet free in a couple of years!!

Mine will go on the house as it's a tip and will help towards the fat profit we'll make if we ever sell. A small part of it will go on one of these HATSAN ARMS COMPANY - ESCORT FIELD HUNTER along with a wheel-barrow load of ammo.

I totally agree and have been shooting for over 20 years.
That aside i need a new motorbike, i ride to from work and meetings all year round. Used to have a car but in part due to my debt got rid of it, now cant abode drivng my wifes car to work, nothing wrong with the car, but the dartford xing is a nightmare every day.
Depenidng on exactly what we get back its the bike, stuff for our baby due feb next year, possibly a holiday (dont think weve had one for three or so years) and then pay money of the mortgage.
Somehting for our daghter no doubt,
The first thing is a night out at the theatre for my wife though. Im going too !!
