It's £1.85 a tub
I like the stuff, but not enough to buy a tub nearly every day...I'd be nearly as fat as you! I only ever seem to be saving to go on holiday or get my car fixed, to be honest.

Cars do eat up a lot of cash
the bastards want over five tons to insure mine for the next year.

my mum still pays for my car insurance because I can't afford to...

I might try that myself.

Last year I saved enough to pay my insurance all at once instead of monthly installments
and then I sold my car. DAMMIT.

Got most of it back though which was nice

It's only £40 a month or something daft, possibly less
since I've essentially been self sufficient since the age of 16 I must have saved her a shitload in terms of not being home during uni holidays and whatnot, so she doesn't mind. If she's still paying it when I'm 30 though, then I'll worry.

That's where most of my non-bill money goes
70 quid a month on insurance, 250+ on fuel, 15-20 on car tax, and then there's servicing, MOTs, plus sundry parts that keep fucking breaking.

I would absolutely love to work closer to home. Simply reducing my mileage from 20,000 to 10,000 miles a year would half all the costs, including insurance.

Still, they might not put another penny on fuel duty in April. Woo!

This is why I am happy letting other people drive me around now
fuel is ridiculous I don't miss crying over the pumps

£1.28 a litre
and that's for the 95 RON, full of silicone filler crap they sell at Sainsbury's. I actually feel violated at the pumps.

It's £1.33 for diesel round here.

(Bazongaloid, Fri 4 Feb 2011, 11:36, Reply)

£1.29.9 here
I remember the blockades and protests when it first went over £1 a litre...

Do you now think there might have the slightest chance that there was a political motivation behind them?

That was £17 a tank ago.

I pay £68 quid a month for as much bussing as I can handle
and you can travel everywhere on a bus, and look out the window instead of having to look at other drivers being idiots, and not worry about fuel or tax or if someone is going to crash into your car, or if you'll get a puncture etc etc

Is it a special bus?

(Bazongaloid, Fri 4 Feb 2011, 11:43, Reply)

sometimes
othertimes they send a man who is very nice and wears a lovely white coat to look after me on the "normal" bus.

His name is also Dave and we talk about my multiple personality disorder

I found out my car isn't as borked as it may have been
the clutch is fine, but the traction control we weren't aware that it had is being weird and when you pull away in first it decides one of the wheels is spinning too fast and briefly applies the brake on it. Better than a fucked clutch though.

Couldn't survive just using the bus around here. It's ok in the city, but as soon as you go outside you are fucked.

God, I'd sell my car like a shot if I could
but I would struggle without it at the minute.
