    Had a lovely trip to London last night to meet friends - didn't have to pay for a drink all night (though I really feel guilty about that!) but I have lots of speculative plans for when I move! I'm getting really excited!

    Have been paid yesterday, but it is MOT time next month, so I'm going to hold off on any updates until I have the MOT carried out. Does anyone remember how long beforehand I can get the MOT? Is it 1 week or 2 weeks?

    Also congratulations on the boy Spag!!
    In order to maintain the original mot date you can get the mot done no more than a month before the due date :D

    bah, it's not going to work between these bunnies. i now have to decide what to do with J. i will chat to my mum see if she would be happy to take him.

    e: what am i saying, i want him to stay here! we will just keep him as a house bun (hes much cleaner than the other two were!) and just ask our neighbours to take him on inspection days.

    It's a real pain at times isn't it affordmylife.

    Try not to give into temptation, it will just prolong the agony. I bet you have some nice things, go wardrobe shopping perhaps. Try some different ideas.

    I sometimes change the rooms around, swapping furniture between rooms. Then again I'm odd.

    A nice day outside - how about a bit of relaxing with a good book.

    Hope it passes soon.:)

    Aww affordmylife I've had that feeling a lot recently, and wound up caving to give myself a little bit of extra allowance to do what would cheer me up most. It doesn't need to be a huge amount of money - £20 for clothes, £5 for new books etc. When I cheered up, I didn't want to spend so much on other things, and wound up having the money left over at the end of the month anyway.

    I don't know what happened, but earlier in the year, I definitely remember looking up a local council MOT center, and I even remember looking at it on a map. When I went to find the contact details just now, it looks like there isn't one! There is something really wrong if I dreamed the whole thing :rotfl:

    Money update for me £150 paid off loan which brings me up to

    #148 £3,450.44/£14,174 or 24% I think

    I might have more to update but we have got a plasterer in today doing some much needed work so we had to keep money aside for that.
