Money Fritters 'Enough Now' DFW Diary

Money_Fritter

Well things are going s:mad::mad:t today. Took my car to kwik fit to get my flat tyre fixed. I thought it would only cost about £5-£10. However, all my tyres apart from the new spare had a tread of just over 1.6mm, close to the legal limit. So I had to have three new tyres. £123.25.

Well depressed. The money does not come out of my 'living on 4k per year' as I have a separate car fund, which I put money into every month. However, all that has now gone as I could only afford to put a small amount in it every month. So I have no spare money now whatsoever. So I really need to make some more money this month.

If anything else breaks I am.......

Well today I am thinking why is technology a pain in the !!!!. I have a creative zen and it is only two and a half years old, and it does not work on vista, so you have to download all this rubbish off the official site. Why

Why cant we have cogs and wheels and little hamsters powering things.

I have run flat tyres on my car and they cost about £140 for 2 :eek::eek: I know I will need two new ones soon and I don't have a car fund :eek:

One day I will be organised with money.

Hope things improve for you as the evening goes on MF.
