Unexpected bills just before xmas

[ivanthereasonable]

Our last credit card bill was way bigger than expected. That was because some twat had made a fraudulant purchase on our card. £1300. Been sorted now though. Didn't bother me much, but had her sweating a bit, mainly because she handles all the money matters and just doles out a pittance now and then for my pocket money.

New dishwasher - £600 and new boiler £1600, both in the last 2 weeks, both unexpected. I win.

Surely you could have waited to get a new dishwasher if you could have done without the expense?

Waiting until January to get mine.

£600 for a dishwasher

Does the fucker load itself

And all you had to do to not worry about unexpected bills was not spend any money.

f***ing hell if only more people knew.

Some twat has taken the wing mirror off our lasses car during the night. Looking at replacements the cheapest I can see on eBay is £90-odd quid. Could do without that.

I’d expect a blow job off it a couple of times a week for that.

2 new tyres and a wheel fixed £200 and the boiler fixed to pay.

It's a vegan, super-eco, super quiet one which uses much less watter. will probably save me nearly a tenner over the course of the next five years.

Someone hit my wing mirror in a car park and broke the plastic cover that goes over the indicator. Must have known they'd hit it as the mirror was folded in but no details were left. Think I can fix it myself but haven't looked into how much the part will cost yet. Hopefully not a lot though.

I have to renew my Professional Accountancy Body subscription every year in December (£470). They used to let you spread it over 4 months by DD but 2 years ago they changed it to annual DD without telling anyone until the final screen of the renewal form. I phoned them up and lay on the guilt trip about having 2 pre-school kids in full time childcare and they sprung this on me right before Christmas - I managed to get the 4 instalments reinstated. They still don’t advertise this option though.

Pain in the arse innit. I haven't seen the car yet because she didn't notice until somewhere between home and work but I found the glass and backplate on the road. Hoping the plastic part is still attached, then it's just the glass part to replace.

£600 for new exhaust, catalytic converter, water pump, battery last week, now the bugger's got a slow puncture. Utter bastard car.

 

[Jap Stammer]

Last week.

4-year service, MOT, and a nice, shiny, new, front coil spring.

£670.

Thanks Volvo.

Nearly £4k at the vets. Not yet sure whether it can be claimed on the insurance

Bloody hell, where do you draw the line...

Call me daft but I would spend my last penny on my little marra. We've spent 7k on him already this year but all of that has been claimed on insurance. Fingers and toes crossed on this one.

Had to get a plumber out to fix the sink yesterday. It's half fixed, he's coming back to finish it tomorrow. Not sure if/what it's gonna cost me like.
