    I am having a booooooooooooooooooooooooooo day today. :(:(:(

    It started OK, had a little lie in and then went to Mr Ms. Used some coupons and made a list and stuck to it word for word and only spent £11 :p and that should last us all week.
    OH came home at Lunchtime (lieu from working until 11.30pm the other day) and we have done nothing but argue since he got home:angry:. Ive paid out £90 to fill both cars up with petrol and £30 for the gas and electric this month, this is money I cannot afford and wouldnt usually have to pay. He got paid yesterday and went to get money out to top up the gas and electricity again and it wouldnt let him withdraw any!
    We wouldnt have needed to top it up again had he not got a lousy habit of leaving things on when not in use :mad:

    I also had to buy a tyre as car is going in for MOT on 12th (3 days before payday, what was I thinking!!!) and it would definately have failed. So that was another £37 gone. I am in a quandry about MOT as I managed to book it for half price using a voucher my Nan found so only paying £27. They do a policy for £59 which covers you for MOT repairs up to £650, Ruby is an X reg so nearly 10 years old so I think it may be worth paying the extra especially as Im not paying full for MOT itself, what do you think?

    I had to take out a boiler cover policy for the flat as they are having loads of problems with it not keeping temperature so thats now another £15 a month I have to find but you get an annual service and unlimited repairs and callouts so hoping it will pay for itself in the long run.

    My 1 glimmer of positivity is that I am going out for a meal today using the Toby Carvery voucher I found on Facebook. We get a carvery meal and an icecream for £5:T

    Oh! And I fell over in the co-op when i was paying some money in. They had a mat which was soaking with water and it skidded when i walked on it and i fell over onto my knee, think dramatic like the claims advert of the dark haired woman walking through reception! No staff came to see if i was OK and I had to go to one of them to tell them I thought it was dangerous and they went "oh OK"!!!!!

    Shall I sue them? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Whats happened with OHs account? re the car I would look at the small print re the price, it seems a good price, but sometimes theres something hidden in the small print.

    Cars and Mots, mine cost me £500 last yr - had to to have the wheel arches done, I'm sure they should renamed money pits!

    Hope ur ok after the trip, sorry I had to laugh I fell over 18mths ago in MR Ms...... I sued... I did damage my sholuder..... xx
