    I know, i have been putting off getting the cambelt done since i brought it! Its now on 62,000 miles, handbook says its due a change at 70,000 miles or 7 years which ever comes first. My car is 8 years old coming up 9. The last thing i want to happen is for the belt to snap and need a new engine. I may put it off till next month, not sure yet.
    Make £5 a day JAN £121/175 FEB £283/175:j
    Weekly Grocery budget of £35! Jan £95.05/175 Feb £37.53/175
