    Hi el - well you certainly had a week of it! At least your son is safe and didn't end up looking for trouble - in which case he could have ended up seriously injured, in jail, or both!

    Sorry to hear about the car situation... at least you've sorted it now! We had to spend about £90 this week on new car wiper holders and blades - they kept bashing into each other and destroying every set we put in! Hopefully they will now be fine! Could have done without it tho!

    Hope you have a great time away and your son gets sorted soon house wise!

    Good grief.... well, if the limit was the bulb and the tyres, not too bad on the new spends. But dreadful that you had to be faced with this in the first place.

    and on a positive note, at least it doesn't need MOT'ing for another 12 months!
