Hi HBS do you belong to an emergency service like the AA,they will come and remove tyre and take you to get a new one.A part worn one gost me £ 20 this week for same car.

if that is a no go in the boot area of the zafira,side panel is a compressor and that foam you inject in the tyre.this inflates it enough for you to drive on it and get it repaired.

Hope you get it sorted:)

Unfortunately the whole tyre exploded and no AA cover:(, but I spoke to one of the dads at the nursery and he has come out and spent 2 hours fixing the car for £0.00:j:j. He has fixed my power steering, and ordered a tyre that we can collect tomorrow at cost price
There are still some very nice people around

Well things had to improve didn't they lol I have sold 2 wardrobes so £50 to bank, and used vouchers that I had sitting around for B&Q and got £107 worth of dulux paint for free. I also used up my asda vouchers and got the kids and outfit each.

I have now received the money for both the wardrobes :D
A few other things are advertised but no takers They maybe best suited to a carboot if the weather is dry on Friday I know what DH will be doing.:D
I have booked a mystery shop in for Thursday which should pay £10 £5 profit after petrol!
Slowly getting there to pay electric and gas! Will be just in time for another huge bill!

Another busy few days the house was looking lovely and clean then the kids woke up!:)
Seem to be going one step forward and 2 back as far as paying bills are concerned, it something when although we are working we can not cover the general bills its running 2 cars which cause the problem £310 petrol per month, insurance is £36 and £65 my car finance is £266. I am still in 2 minds whether to hand it back and get something smaller and cheaper but being half way through the fostering process it seems equally daft to get rid of it when we will need the seats. I need to work out if we can juggle things for until march when we should be approved and have a child. If we can manage it we will be getting £560 a week which I can use to pay off the car and get insurance paid in full on renewal. Decisions Decisions!!:(

Mystery shop has paid so £13 to add to the £10 a day challenge. I'm falling behind so really need to catch up.
I spent some money yesterday, I got DD1 some winter boots from ebay they are normally £60 but I paid £13 with postage and she did need them and a pair of jeans for DS his first designer pair for 99p (£2.99 with postage). I had the money sat in paypal from a few small bits which sold so no real cost to us.
I have a training day tomorrow for fostering which is going to cost, £31 for DD1 to go pre school and petrol to bristol and back.

The training has left me with a huge headache, it wasn't the nicest training, it was all about sexual abuse.
