Hi all
My car broke down on thursday :eek: and its looking terminal:mad: .
OH has had a look at it and then we limped it to garage. Won't get the final diagnosis til a few days into this week.
So what am i going to do? I had been planning to get a new one in about 6 months time (starting new job in oct and will be in much better financial position). But now i feel like its being forced on me - dont know what to do
OH has said he'll lend me £££ to get a new one but i am trying to get of debt not into more

I'd take a guess that him lending you the cash will be a million times cheaper than borrowing from vultures on the high street."I have enough money to last me the rest of my life, unless I buy something."0

Is there ANY way at all that you can manage until you start the new job? If not, then OH offer would be your best option.
