Now the effin car needs work. Thought it was the transmission but it turns out to be the less costly brake drum. Still $250.00 that we just don't have. I'm not getting paid a stipend at the moment and trying to source funds to complete my PhD from elsewhere. ***** earns too much for us to be eligible for any support from the government yet we have around $20,000 in personal loans between us that we have to try and pay - let alone food and stuff. Have applied to the University for the student emergency fund (SEF). It had better bloody well come through for us.
But we need our car as well. $250 seems like such a small amount but it's huge to us. We thought we'd have $600.00 put aside for Christmas and presents because Lloyd's granted us one month holiday from loan repayments on our overseas loan....but there goes that - and there goes Christmas.....try explaining that to a five year old :(
My head hurts - all I can do is cry
DH managed to extend his personal loan - not ideal but the best we can do. We have our car back.
