My day is getting worse!!

Why is it that when you're buying a house that everyone wants your money?
I've just completed on my house purchase after a fairly cheap couple of months, saving like a madman and now, everywhere I look, people want cash..

My car included.. I noticed an unusual sound while I was driving to and from the new house, turns out it's a problem with the brakes.

so now, I've got a mechanics bill of £400 to fix the brakes because both discs on the front are damaged and it needs pads all round.. plus fitting. I'm not that annoyed by the price, I'm annoyed by the timing.
