Minicooper - spark plugs are easy to change, have you had a look at yours to see if they look knackered? I seem to recall their not massively expensive to replace from when I had to do them a few years back.

Sorry to hear about the OH's grandad! Hope the rest of the family are ok. I actually had a new set of spark plugs fitted about 3 months ago, so if it's spark plugs I will be really miffed! I found a mobile mechanic who will come out tomorrow. He said it'll be £30 for call out, and he should be able to get it going within the hour. I will have to leave work early, but I have done so much over time lately they can't hold it against me!

eddi will keep my fingers crossed for your results!

My signature and the spreadsheet say we have paid off £2110 which we had done but then had our holiday (French air traffic fiasco) and some other spends and are now at -£1500!! So we have to catch up by £3610 to be where we were a few months ago :eek:

I will probably regret it when we are eating beans on toast by the end of the month but I posted off a cheque to clear the remainder of my debt.
So:

£6381.81/6381.81 = 100%


The debt was the loan part of a Northern Rock together morgage so still have the larger morgage part to pay off. I plan to spend the summer holidays deciding on a plan of attack for overpaying this.


Good luck in the challenge everyone.

Eddie, I know lots going on and only 3 weeks until we move to Bristol eep! Best wishes with the results in September, I've never studied psychology but I reckon it would interest me as I love analysing people

[..] I spent £150 on 4 dresses (I know this sounds like a lot but I haven't bought anything in years), they're all maxi dresses that will stretch with my bump so I can wear them until the end I then spent £40 on petrol and £50 on snacks & food plus £20 on a pub meal. I did have a thoroughly good time and the bride enjoyed herself. We'd already all paid for the cottage we stayed in months beforehand, so was a really lovely cheap weekend holiday.

The whole subject is utterly fascinating. More so than I expected to be honest. I find myself unintentionally psycho-analysing everything now.

Glad you enjoyed the hen weekend and it doesn't hurt to treat yourself once in a while.

Suggestion number one:

Try your beans with grated cheese on top
