You've all made me feel really bad - my dinner has been: angel cake, rocky road, pepsi max and a banana!2008: £783.12 - 2009: £6,401.15 - 2010: £4,230.61 - 2011: £8720 - 2012: £2,041.89

Need some money saving advice guys
I have work tomorrow but my carsharer has pulled out and my car is knackered, probs a headgasket problem. Got one meeting at 3:30 for an hour that isn't "essential", and nothing else for the workday, and I have a mobile mechanic coming at 6. I could technically get the train but this is an hour long and also involves 2 bus rides (and £13) :O and will mean I don't get in til about 7. (to drive it is over an hour each way and costs £15 per day including the severn bridge!).
How to get the day off?! :P anyone with good excuses let me know. I'd rather work from home because I am not ill, have a good track record with not taking days off sick, and have stuff to be getting on with, but surely "I can't get in because my carsharer isn't" sounds a bit lame?
Any gems of advice very much appreciatedI'm useless with this stuff!

Definitely be honest about it then, you could even say you won't work from home next week. And you can tell them you're getting a new car at the weekend so it won't be an issue again2008: £783.12 - 2009: £6,401.15 - 2010: £4,230.61 - 2011: £8720 - 2012: £2,041.89
