Flattery fun alias Battery fun

Lots of fun and expenses have struck again: I had to buy a new car battery and the cheapest was only 395 Rand. Together with other expenses this month that comes down to the point that I will have to yet again use my emergency funds until end of month and I only managed to put 200 Rand towards PC upgrades, which by now have been delayed by yet another month.
At this rate the upgrades will only be next year since I also have to finance another bus trip and another car service.
