June last year, big ends go on the mini, new engine put in.

September last year, day before my teacher training course started in Northamptonshire, engine breaks again whilst I'm at my folks house in Lincolnshire. Borrow my mum's car for a month, going back to their house every weekend to try and find any car at all that isn't completely broken that I can afford. Finally find a pug in my price range.

November last year, stupid woman runs into me at a roundabout, no major damage just a dent in the wing.

December last year, passenger in a quite bad car accident.

January, pug needs near wheel bearing and really a new drive shaft but just got them oiled, cost of £120ish.

February, another stupid woman runs into me on a roundabout, more damage this time, dented bonnet, cracked bumper, dented wing, light pushed out. Car probably getting a category C write off.

March, today, clutch decides to go, day before its supposed to be going to Northampton to see the engineer most likely to get officially written off.

AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH stupid damn car!!!! I'm officially skint, so how I'm going to afford this I don't know

They say bad things happen in 3s, I believe I'm on about 8 now

I think I'd buy a cycle if I were you |

It may well come down to that Fortunately the place that I had the wheel bearing done at has been really nice and offered me a hire car free of charge for a couple of days next week whilst they look at the car so I can at least get to work. But it's getting a tad ridiculous now, I've never been so skint in all my life, it may have to come to selling the mini...
