  • My pregnant daughter has just swopped her Beetle for a Ford Kooga as the beetle wasn't big enough. I can accept that the Beetle would have been difficult but how big is this baby going to be???? :eek: :eek:
    The new car is an ex demo 6 months old - £17k!!!!!! And then she says she can't afford curtains or a new boiler. Priorities come to mind but can she see it? :confused:

    (I do love her dearly by the way!)
