    I was having trouble with the thickness of them, they were getting stuck when I blinked. All allergy related :rolleyes:

    Finally got the letter from college saying my EMA will kick in with an extra payment tomorrow - can finally afford to run the car! Although Friday's payment this week will be missing due to tonsillitus the other week :(

    Well yesterday I found out what the overtime was that I was being paid at 0.4 of an hour is.

    A new Sunday premium! (Wish they'd tell us these things :rolleyes:)

    So, that's another £50 a month :j :j Plus, this month because of the payrise I get another £20. Meaning I have an extra £70 per month AND that's before all the hours of overtime I've done :T :T

    Bye bye credit card :D

    Definitely :D

    Stupid Norwich Union have stopped drivers under 25 using the third party cover on other vehicles when they have comprehensive cover!
    How unfair, changing to PO I think

    Blame it on the chavs. They've been insuring "granny" nissan micras 0.1L and driving around in 4L Renault Clios with exhausts you could roll a bowling ball down.

    And crashing them.

    Probably true, should be based on No Claims not age :mad:

    At 25, you could have just passed, have seven years no claims, have had several accidents - or be somewhere in between. :confused:

    I only want to drive my mum's Fiesta - same size engine as mine :rolleyes: Makes life easier for us.



    Is it sad to get up early tomorrow and check what I've been paid? Lol

    See how much it would be to be put on her insurance as a named driver. I doubt it would be all that much.

    It's still extra expense to insure myself on mum's car on top of my own car. Might be worth looking at though.

    Her insurance is really low. And mine has dropped by £150 this year :D

    Okay, pay checked :D

    Fab news, £120 over my basic wage and using Money after all my bills go out and minimums paid to credit card, I have £154 left.

    So £50 to my cc extra - it will be cleared ready for my car insurance on the 20th! Then I'm paying £100 off it right away :money: Leaving £360 to clear
