Day's got worse, realisation hit when I looked at my car tax disc this morning and I have no idea where my log book or MOT is and I'm at work all day.

Fantastic idea, do it online! Apparently my MOT's run out :eek:

Just booked car in for 3pm for MOT, have no money to pay for it at the moment, hoping it scrapes through so I can get my tax online before the day's out :eek:

Pippilongstocking

Jo - oh poo my campervan is erm (overdue) its mot and due its tax disc tomorrow - well reminded - argh

Its off for an MOT later on and will see how that pans out as to exactly what I do re tax - I may take if off the road if tis expensive.

Oh happy days......

115K

I will be AF today so that will make a grand total of 11 AF days this month.

Not spectacular but I was very worried as I had been stuck at 7 AF days for a long time so at least I improved. Some people on here are doing amazingly well (well everyone is really) but some people are being extra snazzy.:A

I'm looking forward to a new month anyway! The saving money aspect should help me I think.:T

69chick

I was af last night Hurrah...makes me 8/18 YM (terrible I know).

Jo that must be awful for you about that little girl at your school..poor little might, I hope it all gets sorted out for her.....wishing your car good luck for its MOT today!

Fay- Thanks for doing the scoring/stars for next Month, I am quite excited about the challenge already!

Good job I have this thread as my subscription otherwise I would have never found you all

Hugs x

Pippilongstocking

115K - well done on your 11 days

69chick 8 days is impressive -

Glad you are excited about next month - I am too - back into the what can I save and perhaps treat myself to something nice if I am very good - I might set my own little goal of something I've wanted to ages and never allowed myself to buy.

Or it may all just go on the OD!

After all my positivity yesterday I failed, had a spectatularly bad afternoon at work (no excuse I know) involving the police, social workers, a hysterical parent and a beautiful little girl that was taken away from her family and home last night for the 2nd time in a year because last time they didn't have substantial evidence :mad:

Was a bit numb when I left work, very upset last night and not looking forward to going in today.

So no change for me YM but hoping to notch up one more tonight, disappointed in myself but I may have made a PB with 22 so quite pleased with that

xx

Oh Jo, that sounds awful, hope the little girl is OK and being looked after-I can see why you are upset, its a dreadful situation for you. Take care. Eselt

RecoveringAlcoholic

As debt and alcohol are very closely related, I fail to see the logic for transferring this thread from the main Debt Free Wannabee Board.

Could the person who made the decision please explain to us the reasons behind the move?
