    Yeah I have got an excess as they wouldn't let me not because of my age. I think it is something like £500 as well. My Dad said I should write a letter to the insurance company with all the information again to show I am serious. I am not going to give in if they try and settle it 50/50 as I know I was in the right. The whole thing gets me really annoyed, as I didn't asked to be crashed into grr.

    Apart from that whole thing I have had a really nice weekend. We went bowling yesterday and for a meal for my friends birthday. I got a good deal out of it as I paid for the bowling and OH paid for the meal and guess which one was more expensive hehe.

    I have checked the finances this morning and after OH's present (still no idea what to get him) I have £100 to last me 2 and a half weeks including food shopping. Will just have to be really good, has been working so far.
  • sounds like you're having a right drama with the insurance company, so annoying :mad: but try not to let it get to you too much, these things are sent to try us.

    Goodluck with sticking to the £100 budget for the next couple of weeks. Sure that with a little planning you'll do absolutely fine!

    Well I haven't been on for a few days. I have managed to get myself a cold so am feeling really rubbish. I haven't done any revision last two nights either as have been feeling ill, am hoping it will pass soon.

    I have been trying to find some flats to view, seems all the ones we liked either have gone or they have got squatters in so I am thinking we might have to start looking elsewhere.

    I got ten pounds Amazon today from Toluna so have started the TV fund. Not much other news on the making money front.

    Have been quite good with my money , two weeks till payday now. I haven't updated my budgets but will have a look later.
  • Hi wendz, I'm not very well either - not getting much done myself :( That's rubbish about the flats but I think these things happen for a reason, there's another better flat waiting for you! Hope you feel better soon!
