    Well that's my 50p done before work. Got to go to work now, I was late yesterday as I kept doing "just one more track!" Every little helps. The site is working fine this morning again.

    Whooop! £50 done! Now, I have something like £3 to do til the whole car is paid off because I had an odd amount in my paypal account from before.
    Now bad news, my Mum just told me I need my car serviced. Argh, how much does that cost anyone? I have a small suzuki so does that make it cheaper?
    :D
  • Oh crikey - I know nothing about cars...is there a petrol head board on here? Or perhaps in the general board - I asked a contact lens question in there a few weeks ago and had a sensible and useful answer within minutes.

    So busy with real work (hooray!) that I don't think I'm going to get more than a pound done today...oh well. :)
    £5 a day in December £179.59/£155

    Good Going on STP have done £16 so far. Getting a car serviced is only reccomended not Compulsary, so if you cant afford it wait a while, A small car should be £100+ for oil change, brakes and fluid check etc, Ask around someone might be able to change the oil which is the main thing for a few quid. If the car is still under manufacturers warrenty that will cost way more.
  • My accuracy is plummeting! Halp!!!

    Managed today's quid though. :)

    Thanks Dr_Dig. I've had the car just under a year, was serviced last June and then again last August. Only done 2000 miles in the time i've had it though so will probably leave it until September so I can make up some spare pennies! Technically the cars in my MUms name so if she wants it serviced..... lol!

    How long have you been doing STP for? £16 is good going :D

    Yes working for me now, up to 88% rating, does this influence the star rating at all?

    Yep, you have to have a certain percentage along with reviewing a certain numbe of tracks and your reviews have to be long enough to move up stars :)
