    Sorry about the car mike, that sucks. How will you get to work? Can you get a bus? I agree the car should go, I threw a ton of dead money at my old punto, to be honest it put me off buying and old car ever again. Trouble was I kept fixing things thinking that would be the last and if I sold it somone else would benefit from all that cash, so I kept it and then something else would pack in. In the end I had to say enough and sold the stupid thing for about £500, £3,000 less than I paid for it and that's without the £2000 I spent on repairs.

    Its awful isnt it - its right peed me off. Im off tomorrow and luckily the auctions are tomorrow too. Ill have to ask them to put mine through at the start, see how much I get then bid for a car myself.

    BUT, with the auctions they say you get a cheque !!! So my big fat OR savings account will come into play, she wont mind if I borrow a few hundred quid from her will she ! :confused:

    Im so upset.. I hate car problems, Hopefully all will run smootly tomorrow though

    typical about the car!

    I'm feeling much better today I think if I tell the OR that my skindoctors selling was helping me in a way to pay things and explain it all I should be okay. Will they want to see records of all my sales etc from ebay/paypal? If that is a yes I will have to start from October with the records :eek:
