    Joe Hel... sounds like you have got a kid gloves situtation going on there. With his £500 why don't you ask him to take over just one of the DD's too... even if it was just a small one that he gets benefit from.. that's what i dod with my OH. He didn't have health issues, just money ones (!), but i told him that i wasn't going to be able to pay the SKy anymore, so unless he took it on it was going to be a sacrifice.... He pays it

    small steps n all that?

    That's a fantastic idea. I need to check whether Virgin will let me do it. OH only has a basic bank account with cash card, no credit cards and no credit history. I don't even know if his account will accept direct debits but I'll find out. Thanks.

    IA - no idea, but it doesn't sound cheap does it?

    Fingers crossed it's not too much.

    I don't know exactly what I'm looking for, but I have seen some prices around £50 - £70 for the part itself. As I say don't take that as gospel, I'm not a mechanic, just searched on google.

    Good luck with it,

    Sorry for posting my comment twice before, i meant to edit it, but for some reason it's on twice!

    Poor IA - Try Ebay for car parts... always always cheaper and might do the job.

    IA, sorry to hear the car isn't going to be super cheap, I'll keep my fingers crossed the garage can find the part cheaper than £70!

    Well, I had my interview this morning. Interview?! It was a 5 minute chat! Anyway, had a call from the agency and apparently they really liked me so I start on monday :j :D The people I met seemed nice and although I don't know exactly what the job involves I told them about my previous experience and they seemed to think I could do it :T
