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!Emergency Fund - £8572.39 / £10,000 :: Mortgage OP 2025 - £LISA 24/25 - £3200 / £4000 :: NSD 2025 - 2 / 150 :: Books Read: 1 / 52 :: Decluttering - 4 / 1000Engaged 9th December 2010 :: Married 29th October 2015 :: Bought a House 13th January 20170

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.0 -

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!Emergency Fund - £8572.39 / £10,000 :: Mortgage OP 2025 - £LISA 24/25 - £3200 / £4000 :: NSD 2025 - 2 / 150 :: Books Read: 1 / 52 :: Decluttering - 4 / 1000Engaged 9th December 2010 :: Married 29th October 2015 :: Bought a House 13th January 20170 -
