  • IA in the words of Dads Army - "don't panic". It may only be a small problem, spark plugs are quite cheap and easily replaced. We had a mixture/computer setup problem with ours once and my dh (a mechanic) hadn't the facilities to put it right so we had it checked at a diagnostic garage and they reset it and it only cost £50 - so honestly deep breathe and have a cup of tea, even in the worst situation you know you can deal with it!! Great news about the interview by the way, how cool is your sil!!!

    Well for one thing, look at your signature, sure it sucks, but if you make minimum payments on your debts this month you have a fair bit of spare money to throw at the car.

    If the worst comes to the worst, you can always ring Barclaycard and ask for a new card to be sent out, time the payment right and you can even get 56 days interest free.

    Tonight might be a good night to mention keeping a slush fund aside, before you spend all your savings on a new tv at the first possible opportunity.
  • Just had an email from Ste
    hes gone to get a full set of spark plugs as he's convinced its that. hopefully no cost to us fingers crossed. shouldnt be as he's getting them on the 'account' lol.

    BTW was Ste more or less calm than when he suffered his three red rings failure?
