Oh God, OH's car is buggered. Again. He's only had the thing two months and has already had to replace the battery and get the AA out because the key stopped working. He's just taken it to a garage because the breaks seemed a bit funny this week... turns out the cables have split, break fluid has leaked on his tyres (? i know nothing about cars), his breaks are duff and sorting all this out plus a service is costing him a grand. It's a scratched up X reg estate but it was free from a relative and only had 50,000 miles on the clock, so he thinks spending £1500 on it is a better deal than just buying a second hand car for a few hundred more.
What can you do, eh? Having it out of action this weekend is causing so much trouble. He was supposed to be picking up a brand new leather sofa for £300 today for his new flat, but now is stuck at his old place with virtually nothing and he can't go to mine because I'm not there!

The new flat is in a lovely village in Hertfordshire, full of £1 million+ houses which apparently need redecorating on a yearly basis so there's lots of brilliant quality second hand stuff on ebay and gumtree. Think imported and bespoke furniture at less than DFS prices. Since he can't have the £300 sofa anymore, we're watching some lovely looking stuff on ebay.
It's a bit complicated,I should be moving in, but because of my job I can't until May/June when I graduate and can change jobs. I say that as if getting a job is so easy HA!
