Pete Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 ..........Its not good news mate. Trust me I use the spreadsheet as a service record too, it's good to know how much I've spent. It helps me realise how me and vicki can be on a good wages and still not have any money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supragal Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I have spent so much on mine and it doesn't even work. Honestly, if I had never bought that car I would have a much nicer house and no debt, bit gutted actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burna Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 How cheap!? Who with dude? Is yours UK spec (can't remember) - ah. your sig kinda gave that away. Switched to Elephant from Admiral (Same company really). That's with Jo on with her two accidents Jan 04 & 05 and of course my SP30, oh and guaranteed no claims bonus. I must be because I'm in the best position as far as insurers go, UK Supra no mods and 30 years old. Tried Jae at SKY insurance as I was interested in the agreed value they do, he was VERY helpful but just couldn't get near to my other quotes, I might have paid the extra to go with SKY (quoted me about £630) but because of Jo's accidents they wouldn't protect my no claims bonus. Looking into finding a company that provide agreed value documentation, I know my mate does it separate from his insurance company with his old beetle. Also 'Bignum' I'm sure has it on his Supra but I don't know if that is tied to his insurer. If anyone knows how to go about it please let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It helps me realise how me and vicki can be on a good wages and still not have any money. Funnily enough we just bit the bullet and started a spreadsheet on Sunday. It is a revelation as to what we actually spend money on. We had surplus money of about £600 per month and that was after wildly over estimating other stuff like food. We've got a good receipt system working now - I say now, we're only on day 4 but so far. It pays to be organised! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 It will be worth it in the end Rosie How much has it come on now since I last saw it? absolutely none... been so caught up getting the rental flat finished so tenants can move in, and the weathers put us off. But soon we will go up there and try and change some bits and pray it runs??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is weird how much money you spend on bits and bobs... rubbish... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 Funnily enough we just bit the bullet and started a spreadsheet on Sunday. It is a revelation as to what we actually spend money on. Vicki is an accountant so she's got this stuff well organised. Every receipt gets checked off. We have the joint account which we both contribute evenly too - this more than covers shopping and all bills, mortgage etc leaving what's in our own accounts to play with. No arguments over me spending whatever when I want it, and I don't complain about her buying her 56th pair of shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
