In The Money

On Sunday morning after no sign of illness my golf trolley died. I took it to a nice man on Tuesday who when he heard the symptoms sucked in huge amounts of air and started to shake his head. "Sounds like the control unit" he said. After a dramatic pause he added "I can fix it" my heart leapt "but it's the most expensive part" he said. My heart sank!

The part would be £95 and on top of that would be the labour charge. I was not going to get any change out of £125. It is less than half the price of a replacement so I had no choice "go ahead" I told him.

Today I picked up my good as new trolley. It had a little pink label attached that said "broken wire in handle £8 to pay" - result!!

Now I had an agreement with Mrs F that I could spend the £125 to bring the trolley back to life which means in my world that I am now £117 in credit.

There was this little lonely golf club in the shop quietly calling to me "take me home with you" it was only £90. If I bought it I could still claim to have saved £27.

What do you think? - Will I get away with it?
