Hmm. Car is at the end of its life. not completely unexpected but inconvenient, and a bit sad. We don't have the money to buy another car. We don't particularly want a car, except there are occasionally things that we really like to do that we cannot do without a car, so I guess we need to get another car. That we neither want nor can afford. Not often we meet a pickle like this one. Although frankly the last year has felt like a general crumbling of everything I take for granted so maybe it's to be expected.
Following on from this, the inevitable - time to be thrifty. We're already being pretty thrifty but we're going to have to notch it up. No spend. Really frugal with the food budget. No booze. Etc. etc. We have the car for another few weeks before the MOT, which we won't be getting, because it will fail. I will carry on my mission of decluttering while I still have a car to use. Then if we can't get a really cheap, working car before then, we shall walk.
