£500 just to stay legal

Ouch.
I had my car MOT'd on Monday, DS did it for free in exchange for feeding his 2 cats next week.
I needed a new tyre, £50 - £60, car tax £180, Car insurance £193, not much change from £500. It's all budgeted for but even so it's a big hit to take in one month.

I've changed to a monthly Direct Debit to pay my Road Tax, in order to stop that huge bill every year. Costs about £5 extra over the year, but I prefer that £13 going out automatically each month.
