    SA

    :rotfl: not yet.............

    it was fine!!!!

    Im still shaking, but all over with now!

    The guy was lovely, and was on for an hour (he said about an hour, it was 59 mins 56 secs haha!).
    He was understanding and helpful, and if i didnt know i just said so. Sometimes he probed a little more, but i didnt know some dates and bits, so that was fine.
    He asked (joking i assume....) at the end if i own any nice houses in the south of france......
    Also asked what sort of money we spend on family christmases etc.

    He actually said we were classed as insolvant in 2005 :eek: and we have done very well to get by until now - albeit robbing peter to pay paul.

    Mr has his at 3, same guy. So not sure if he will ask the same questions to make sure we sing from the same hymn book, or whether he will ask him some different stuff, as he didnt go thru SOA with me AT ALL!

    we shall see...

    Thanks for all the well wishes guys- -not the nicest hour ive ever had, but ive certainly had worse!

    Glad it went well Mrs W, it's awful having to bear your soul to a stranger, but at least that's you over and done with. I think you deserve that brandy now, but make Mr W wait for his ;)

  • how did you get on with your cars? :)

    he asked me to confirm what we had and the value, and what we used them for.
    He said a car for school/shopping/family etc wasnt a nesseccity, but the work car was, so they would take one.
    I asked if we had a choice which, as we cant fit 3 baby seats and a double buggy in a citroen AX, and he said because they are both low value, we should be able to choose which....
    He went on to say that as they are both so low value - it would cost them more in paperwork and scrapping fees - so they would immediately offer us the car back for a nominal fee.

    So what would you say was a nominal fee on a £100 car? :confused:
