    The best I saw was £96 with a £45 call out fee. You're looking at around £150. I did see a DIY fix, and am going to research it this weekend to see what the risks are. The DIY fix is around £20 for tools so quite a saving if it's reliable!
  • Another week..another payment!
    Finally paid off an old overdraft with Halifax with this one :)
    Now onto evil Barclaycard..

    It's payday! So finally off the mark, woohoo!

    #061 666/3600

    I'm really happy because I've managed to clear my overdraft once and for all, I've lived in it for a few years now.

    If I could offer a little tip to people with multiple debts it would be to clear your overdraft as a priority. The interest charged on it is generally quite high but the main reason is psychological. It's such a boost to see your full wage in your bank account on payday and I'm positive it will be easier to budget for the month.

    When you have -£2500 in your account (like I did) it can be difficult to know how to budget for the essentials!

    Thanks everyone!

    i think we used some kind of silicone sealant around the whole of my sunroof, it worked, until i opened the bloody thing! haha.

    right...... pay day on monday!!! need to figure out what i need to spend, what we need to keep back - need to figure out a budget for the car. how much would you spend on the MOT? the car is 17 years old and cost us £700 a year ago... but it's a honda if that makes any difference :P
