goings on in the house

mmmm honey rum.......

shame we drank it all...... oh well, i guess ill just have to go on holiday to spain :)

which of course involves money - :s

anyway, i am thinking of having a general gathering with music and drink and gothy clothes a week on friday (for those in uni, the last day of term), held in my kitchen and living room (i figure if i move the table therell be enough space). just seems like a good idea (and maybe my wine will even be ready....)

so, if anyone wants to come, let me know, and let me know what songs you want (preferably getting them to me somehow after i know what everyone want), and then i can make some cds of music people will want to hear (this may involve me coing over to peoples houses and making cds there) (also, then i might actually end up with some good music)

er.... im sure there was sommat else..... oh yeah, my corset is now cut out, so i just need to sew it :)

i still thought there was sommat else, but i cant remember - honey rm doesnt appear to mix with memorying)

rargh!

everybody wave bye-bye to NRJ......

It looks like my lovely little car is very tired and needs to go away. So i fear she shall soon be leaving us.



...


that is of course if my dad ever develops any sense when it comes to money.
We bought NRJ for £700, in august 2003
spent around £250 shortly after on a service and new tyres.

In the last 2 months i have so far spent around £270 - broken wing mirror, broken window, broken timing belt mechanism, interim service.

When i took her (yes her) in for her major service today, and went to collect her at 5pm, i was told what work needed doing. the ended up not charging me for the major service (they could only do parts of it), saving me £100, but told me that there is nearly £500 of work that needs doing, some now, some in the next few months.

how is it that it still makes sense to get the work done, when it would mean that in 2 months more has been spent on the car than we payed for it? but my dad seems convinced that i have to have the car (i dont need it all that much anymore), and that it is worth paying so much money simply because the bodywork is intact. as far as we know now anyway. bodywork isnt checked on a service.
i dont know where the money is expected to come from. he nearly told me off a few weeks ago for not having as much of a bond i was left in a savings account as i should have. because i had to pay £140 for my car. and i dont have much money at all. paying for petrol is a problem, never mind the tax and MOT due soon, and the fact im saving for my holiday. i had just got out of debt, and now im over £200 in it again. its not like they have any money either - they are paying for driving lessons for mum and soon a car for her, along with my sister being 17 in may so wanting lessons (so they couldnt help with my tax/MOT since theyre due in may).
i just dont see how paying this much makes any sense at all.

as much as i like my car and want to keep her, it doesnt seem like sensible idea. who knows what will need doing in 6 months time.
poor little NRJ
