    Ugh, cars are a pain sometimes. I'm thinking of getting rid of mine altogether and just using OH's. I don't drive much now as I started walking a few months back to the train station to get the train to work. Saving quite a bit on petrol and justifying my chocolate treat at night because 'I walked it off earlier so I'm allowed it!'

    It's more annoying as we intend to replace it soon but need to wait until we have secured extension funds.

    Various Tilly tidies over last few days 9p and 74p and will transfer more later after payment form fuel for courtesy car cleared.

    Not been brave enough to look at next months budget yet. On a positive, food spends remaining low and we should survive until Friday without going to the shops.

    Challenging isn't it Jimmy. £44 left now and a day closer to payday, 76p tilly tidy made hence the reduction.

    Car is fixed and according to DH running well. Manager knocked £50 off the bill (he's a friend of DH) so only £250 spent on a car not worth an awful lot more! :mad:

    Spoken to 8ky and reduced package to the cheapest we can, it's still £22.50 a month and I had a £19 cancellation fee due to knocking off hd channels. This does mean we are free to cancel completely should we wish to though :)
