    Hi guys, long time no post! Really should get back into doing this again! I have added little bits and pieces and basically my car fund is my VSP now! So £200 in it for me at the moment. Sorry I've been away for a bit but slowly coming back to my MSE ways!

    Received a cheque for £56.34 for dividends from some company shares I own. :T

    When the cheque clears in my current account, the total will be sent to my VSP.
    Hopefully, I will be at £200 by the end of August.

    Just checked my online banking ad realised I actually have £313 "spare" but don't know whether to declare it all for the VSP or not since it's not all for a car. The extra bits are towards a new laptop that I'm planning to get next year when I've finished my Masters.... Oh what the hell. My VSP is £313 now!

    I spoke too soon.

    A fuel leak was discovered on my car yesterday and with it came a bill for £138. :eek:
    My VSP will be covering the bill.

    The dividend cheque came at just the right time. :)

    That was good timing. Same thing happened to my dad, he got a dividend cheque and then his water pump and exhaust went on the same day!
