Thanks Rosepetal! I am encouraged by the fact that this month we still have a bit of cash left in the bank and that's after I went and bought a patio set from Focus (thought I'd take advantage of their bad luck). So hopefully we should be able to get through the 60 months!! Have managed to save a small contingency fund and it probably helps that with me having a motability car we will only need to worry about hubby's van.
Have managed to get an ISA opened with the Co-op so will be able to save for insurances etc in there throughout the year. Had to write a cheque last week for the book club at work and I panicked as it was the first time I realised I didn't have a chequebook anymore. But nipped out to the cashpoint machine and paid in cash - lovely feeling!

Snap Rosepetal - I am in so much pain most of the time I just love sitting in the sun with a good book and my guard macaw!!
Yes cash is a novelty - but amazing how many stores don't like taking big sums of cash as they have to pay more at the bank. Stupid world we live in.
