    what a shame, but you need the car more than you need the pc.

    Can't you get your employer to give you some training to get you off the NMW?

    Or find a better paying job?

    Sorry if this is harsh, but you shouldn't be slaving for this amount - thats the problem not the car.

    You write well, I am sure you'd get through a training course in record time with no problems

    I'm going to have to retrain, I am a fully qualified cabinet maker, Foreign nationals have driven wages rock bottom not just in my industry but many others also.

    Its a tricky situation, be I'll struggle on i'm sure.

    Damn, move to the south east, tradesmen charge a fortune in this pocket of the UK.
    Seriously is moving an option, I see your from NI. I'm sure there are parts of the UK you would do well in.
