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!Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

I'm so glad the car is sorted out now and not too expensive.Taking the receipt with you is a good idea.
I hope your chilling out getting ready for your holiday which I hope you really really enjoy.0 -
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.
