Fingers crossed they’re right 🤞

Sounds like good news thank goodness. Mr SA once had to have a complete new engine on his van, cost a fortune 😩

The plus side of the car not being finished today was that it was after all a no spends day. Number 14 for May.

Hopefully the car should be fixed today so it shouldnt be a no spends day.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be from stores. It was toast for breakfast, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is salmon wellington with garlic and herb new potatoes and vegetables.

Tonight's jobs include:

• cleaning the bathrooms
• vacuuming the house
• walking the dog

Seems odd to be hoping not to have a NSD but I completely get you and hope it doesn't cost too much.  Dinner sounds lovely, we are currently defrosting a batch cooked Bolognese for ours.

We just want our car back. We were grateful that we could borrow a car to get home and back to work this morning but it genuinely was an awful car. So awful you couldn't tell if it was petrol or diesel. It was noisy, slow and crude. Turns out it was a 1.4 litre petrol but you wouldn't have guessed!!

Fingers crossed we can have our car back today.

A little bit of good news from the chancellor this afternoon. The fuel bill discount has been increased to £400 in October and is now a grant so will not need to be paid back.

It won't cancel out the price rises in October completely but it will go some way towards the cost.

Yes it is good news.

We did briefly have our car back today. But the other half has taken it straight back again after finding the engine trays and a load of bits that should be in the car in the boot instead.

He is fuming. They have refunded him the money he paid but that doesn't give him back the time he has spent backwards and forwards. He has walked back to work now to pick up the loan car again to get us home. Just waiting for him to pick me up now.

I’m not surprised he was fuming 😡
