okay, give me some money saving tips on this, if you can.

Last week, my allotment was flooded, all my sprouts and cabbages got it in the neck.


Last week, my annual service was due from British gas for my heating system which was leaking fumes in the loft and was promptly condemned. New central heating warm air system needed.


Yesterday, the tyre pressure light came on and a puncture found on the wall of the tyre of my 4 week old car.... cant be repaired, new tyre, £65.


Today, ..... well, its only 11.25pm, so anything can happen in the next 35 minutes.....

Money saving tips .... I predict that in 10 days' time you can buy as many sprouts as you want, for about tuppence.

Think of the money you'll be saving by not having the heating on.

Count that as your "comes in threes" bad luck end marker.

Worth getting a second opinion from a local heating engineer

I second that. British Gas are very quick to condemn boilers that can, in fact, be repaired.

Yes, thanks, I did check with another Engineer, Its the flue that is leaking fumes, we could have had the flue replaced at around 1200 £ but the boiler is quite old so going for a new one.


Couldn't afford British gas replacing it..... not at £96 an hour.....:eek:

Four week old car. Brand new? Under guarantee?

It's mild at the moment, don't need heating on. Local plumber best.

Yellow sticker shopping, 7pm, cheap veg.

Tyres probably aren't covered on a guarantee.

Spam was some tout offering you a "top rate" loan!

things can only get better...hope they do

wont help in the short term but could you save up an emergency fund for when in the very far away future something goes wrong again...thats a real shame about the allotment as it takes a lot of hard work

i have found bg are very quick to say things are beyond repair might be worth getting someone else in to have a look

hope it all starts to improve for u

Maybe the first 33,947 posts were just to lull us into making us think you were genuine and now you'll start with the spam.
