    Ive got such a sore throat today, ahhhh its like sand paper :(

    Anyway, Ive booked my car in for its belt, and fluid changes......£657!! Ekkkk!!! Its a better price than Renualt plus they only need the car one day where as Renualt wanted it 2 days. Its booked for the 20th Oct, so im going to book some holiday for it, i might take a week or a few days off as i have alot of holiday to use up! :):)
    That will be that out of the way, then all i need to do is MOT it early November which is say £40 if all is good. Then car is serviced and i wont have to touch it for another year hopefully!

    Yay! I had a £5 credit code for tombola in my emails first game of bingo i won £11 so withdrew straight away. As if you play the rest of the bonus money it also take money out of your winnings.

    Not much but a help! :)

    Also the survey that i done the other day sent my a full size product to test, its worth £7 so im happy with that! :)

    Ive just found my OH also has a tombola code in his emails, so it would be rude not to have a go with his too! :)

    They were supposed to send me something to test too but it never arrived - or my brother didn't answer the door which is just as likely. At least your car should be alright after its had the work. I'm terrified something really expensive is going to go wrong with mine, I think I need to start a car fund in case the worst happens.

    Ouch - thats a lot of money for the works, i never realised how expensive cars were chick. I keep wanting to buy a Mini, but it'll prob be full of problems and end up costing me loads of money!

    Well done on the Tombola win, i also have a code in my e-mails but going to wait till tomorrow morning to play it through, less people online i've thought to myself.

    Great news about maybe getting your own place soon chick, how exciting!

    Ohh i wonder if we're testing the same thing nicki! ;) Mine came at 8am so lucky i was still at home.

    Yeah £675 just for a service that is! It needs that kind of service every 5 years too! :S. I dread the cost of things if someone actually goes wrong with it! But i cant moan its my own fault for buying 'sport' cars. Lol typical Essex girl racer! haha oh dear.

    Yeah its a wise move having a 'car fund' nicki just incase any problems pop up.

    Aww, you still could buy a mini, just take someone car minded with you and check the common faults on the net before you look at it.
