    #2 popping in with an update on the car repair

    £110 for the repair and £20 to help my DS1 out with a tow for his car which also has problems and has had to go to the main dealers, total of £130 down on the fund.

    On a brighter note, my baby is back on the road and although I know it will need replacing in time, I want to put that off for as long as poss as I have a true love for this car. It has been so reliable over the years ;)

    New total £4479.74. Should be able to put a few quid back in there on pay day next week but until then, this is where I'm at.
