Afternoon all,

Thanks Hayley. good to see you back:)

Well the shopping plan yesterday didnt go to plan!

OH changed his pads and disc's on his car and now the ABS warning light has come onto his car and the abs on brakes arent working properly. After googling it its a common problem on his car .So we didnt want to drive it into town as the wheel is making knocking noises. He has fitted the pads etc properly as he did work at a tyre fitting place for 2 years & went to college doing mechanics for 2 years. His trying to fix it today, and i dont want to go into town on my own so shopping wont happent until next weekend now.

On the subject of bloody cars, my MOT is due end of April and i know i need a new shock and a new tyre. So i must plan to budget for this too. Grrrrr why must cars take all our money?

On a better note my OH's scratchcard account reached £10 so i withdrew that for him into his account.

Right im off to list a couple of bits on ebay then off to H's to see if i can help him with his car.

Afternoon to anyone in

Well my OH called me up at lunchtime time his arm was hurting was as he decided the price was ok for the tattoo removal and he had the first treatment already! £120 per laser treatment!!!!! And wait for it....he needs 6 treatments! Plus its all the way in cambridge 35 miles from here. So total cost of £720 plus diesel driving there and back every month! I know he hates the tattoo but £720!

Plus he needs £120 for car tax by saturday. And his ABS still isnt working, so needs about £30 for a new sensor which will hopefully fix it. And then it due for an MOT mid march! So im not expecting any money for the savings this month from him!

On the baby front last night i watched a couple of youtube clips on women giving birth (as Lilmiss knows:) there were links on the baby forum i go on) and well!!!! They really should show teenagers at school what its like im sure it would help cut teens pregnancies by half! Yes, the clips i saw were that bad, one woman had a blood clot so you could imagine what happened i could only watch a few seconds before turning it off! I take my hat off to Mid-wives they should get paid much more than what they do there saints! But it wasnt enough to put me off.;)

eeek, thats quite a bit to get the tattoo removed!

mariagti

Yeah a shocking amount isnt it! I did try to convince him to get something tattooed over it but he couldnt find anything that would cover the whole tattoo. Its on his lower arm so when he wears t-shirts he says he feels embrassed by it so it has to go as its effecting his confidence.
