Emma, I think you miss the boat to upgrade to a 20 series camera I believe, with the cashback offer a year ago they where a steal but now I would wait till the K7 is cheaper or when something new comes out so lenses that's what you should get before the price go up again
You also have quite some over lapping lenses btw, now come?

I'm with Stefan on this.
I'd wait until the camera deals come around,but still sell the lenses you don't want/need.
Keep the money safe by opening ISA, it'll get some interest and you can withdraw anytime you want.

Are you considering used K20/GX20s? If so I would think you could upgrade for £150 or thereabouts, which should be pretty easy to raise. It was a bigger jump in resolution, but when I upgraded from my 6MP K100D to the K20D the jump in resolution and cropping ability was easily worth the £150 upgrade price.
