The bumper is partially only cosmetic so dont worry about it too much.

I did Beanie but lil bro said you pay anyway. I tried to explain that I wasn't claiming so thus its free but he couldn;t understand. I took greta pleasure phoning him this afternoon and breaking the good news :rotfl:penelopedee wrote: »Pap, never let a car stop you sleeping hun!
Pen, I don't care so much about my car, it will be fixed when its fixed. I am more worried about Mum's. Luckly she is off work this week so will cause no hardship to her0 -
Mini update... Also a few spends. I took out £30 Monday to purchase some sports bras in town, I also bought dinner with that money and a few bits in the £1 shop.
The remaining spends/debits are -
£23.00 – car cover
£34.98 – bumper
£25.00 – light
£43.13 - stands, paint, clips, glue and tape
So after all that and usual bills I have £169 left. That excludes any petrol I may need. Not too bad as I should be able to put the car in for a basic mot and as long as it passes I will have no problem. If it fails (depending on what) it will have to wait until payday. The bumper I have purchased isn't the same colour as my car but I can get it resprayed payday, I can live with it until then.
Prob not have anything extra to put towards my CC this month but maybe next
I have also saved 12.6% of my phone :T0 -
Car's fixed :j Needed to buy more parts in Halfords yesterday, I purchased some dinner and had to cover bus fares for three days. So I now have £127.77 left in my bank. I have decided to put it in for its mot anyway (£48) depending on if it fails and what on I will get it fixed. I did apply for a replacement CC the other day so if all else fails I have £100 credit avalible on that for petrol if the car costs lots. If it fails on something major it will be off the road until payday.
I am going out in a bit to treat Mum to coffee (she helped me fix my car) so that will cost about £10. But other than that until the mot I will have nsd's0 -
Glad the car is all fixed Pap :T. Good luck for the MOT too

Emz xx0 -
Thanks Em, only time will tell.
So I am now 14% to target for my phone so slowly getting there :j However negative news is that my rent is soon to go up. Lil bro might be leaving home to live with his OH so I have to make up some of the shortfall. I am thinking about £80 which means my rent will be £200 a month, I know this is still very cheap so I don't begrudge it but0 -
Scrapped my car today so bah.

Aww no Beanie is it bad? I thought you were getting a new one anyways?
I think that sums up how I feel about it too :rotfl: Determind to clear my credit card this month come hell or high water. If it means a NSM then thats what will happen, I am just fed up with it now as it is holding back me overpaying my loan.
Going to put my debt in my sig I think to shame me into paying it off faster!0 -
Bad Pap as no good condition bonus which I was going to use for Ds's 18th.
