Car lives to see a few more trips

Well the car wasn't such a big deal as we were fearing and only cost us $279 so we got the repairs done.  We only need to keep it going 2 more weeks on a regular basis then we can switch them over.  It just gives us a bit more freedom to have them both,  emergencies etc and we can swap when I want to take the kids out for a day.  I'm almost wondering with the reduction in daily use if we might be able to make it last until my car is paid off which would be totally ideal!  Then we can get rid of it and upgrade to a larger more family friendly car.  I'm somewhat relieved would be so much easier if I had one if we had an emergency specially as James doesn't work just down the road as it were.

Course if we end up with a big expensive repair at some point we are still getting rid of it!  It's just not worth it.
