    Rising - yes, thankfully the exhuast was ok, I think it was just the baffles which cost about £20 to rectify - all running very nicely now :)

    Beanie - Yep, was deff more than i was expecting to pay, it all adds up with labour and VAT, but it was a full service and MOT so on the upside that's all done for the year (whistles *always look on the bright side of life*) Just a bit of a pain as I was clobbered for car tax at the end of Feb too.

    Oh, and just to clarify, I don't drive anything posh - just a little super-mini type automobile.

    Got NSD #3 on Wednesday and hopefully today will be #4 - had to do the shopping yesterday so missed out on that. I did book my ticket to see the Hunger Games tomorrow though (which was free as I used the gift voucher I got for xmas - didn't realise how expensive cinemas were nowadays!) so am very excited about that (and it's a free night out!:money:)

    NSD 11 yesterday. Resisting the urge to buy and smoke a packet of ciggies. When you consider I gave up 3 years ago, that gives you a clue as to how rubbish my day at work has been thus far! :o
