Hi boredofbeingathome,
It doesn't stop at the teabgs, I paid 4p for a jar of curry sauce last week! lol.
No, I have not had it looked at yet...I'm worried what they will find! This year alone it has had 4 new tyres, a new cam belt, a new water pump, a new exhaust.....£100's of repairs for a car worth about £200! MOT is due in March...and I think we may have to throw in the towel then.0 -
Hi - just wanted to say hello and welcome! Try the (make) £10 a day challenge - for inspiration and to free up more money for debt repayment and luxuries.... Also the NSD (no spend day challenge). To keep motivated you could also use the "what small DFW things have you done today" thread.
