I was doing so well...

I managed to pay off lots over the last year, I went without, my put all my wages into my debts and lived off nothing. I did it. All that was left was my overdraft...
This month started off great. It was the first time I would have cash left over. However, we needed to fork out 800 towards the car after someone decided to drive into it. Thankfully, my lovely neighbour and local mechanic managed to get it all fixed, and I know if we'd gone anywhere else, it would have cost much more.
I did have to borrow, as this was my in-between month. I've promised 500 on this payday, and the rest afterwards.
Really am annoyed about it all, but, it's nearly done.
If all else fails, buy a new pair of shoes.

    Would it not have been cheaper to claim on the car insurance?If someone else drove into it it would have been their fault not yours so you wouldn't have affected your no claims bonus.
