Excess on insurance means it's not worth claiming.
Oh well, will need to get creative in ideas to make up the shortfall! On the bright side, it could have been much worse so trying to not stress too much
The other bright side is that at least you have savings so don't have to borrow and get into debt. Glad to hear you are ok though.

Am pleased to say that I'm on track with my savings commitment in this thread and if all goes according to plan, I should more than double it by year-end
Saving's addictive, isn't it?
EDIT: How exciting - I just opened my first cash ISA"Save £12k in 2019" #120 - £100,699.57/£100,0000 -
March payday today. So finalised February's figures. £616.62 xfered into ISA. Form sent.
£966.43 is put away for March, hopefully won't have to dip in but I've got another week off this month which always means the pub a couple more nights than usual.0 -

Is it really? I'll consider giving it a whirl then. What I love about the first months of the year is you can make money into this month's total from your past purchases which affected last year's savingsSo it looks a bigger win.

ARGHHHH!
Just as I dust myself off from January(lending money) I now have to stump up £150 for my mothers 50th. My siblings are pressuring me to match what they are inputting and when I suggested £100 would be more than suffice they laughed and said it was a poultry amount! To them maybe, but that's a lot of money for me. I am especially annoyed as my brother is a millionaire and the interest alone he earns in a day would pay for a week away to Paris for her. Why he is only paying £150 beats me. I am the one who's always here for her, the one who gets it when she's being an !!!!! and the one who has to put up with her nagging. Mothers day was all up to me, where am I taking her for lunch, what am I gifting and how long am I spending with her. Brothers lives in Texas and Sister is travelling. How annoying. I'm sick of her, I know she's my mother but she's racist, a homophobe and I struggle not to say anything. To give her £150 of my hard earned money when she can't even be bothered with my children pi$$es me off!2025 Mortgage start £378K 2025 Overpayment £103 Savings Challenge 2025 **MONEY MAKES ME HAPPY**0 -
