I'd forgotten that March was an expensive month for the car. The road tax, insurance and MOT were all due.

I took the car for it's MOT yesterday but was told that it needs new tyres. The tread was a bit low but looked more than the 1.6mm minimum depth. I got some new tyres fitted this morning and was amazed at the difference it made. Before, the steering had been quite heavy but I put that down the the car's lack of power steering. With the new tyres, the steering is much lighter. The tread is so deep it feels like you could lost a finger if you poked too deep.
