Massive debts

Hi GB
Yes it was at Polmadie - and apparently it was really quiet on Sunday! Never mind.
This is the double bed from our room, so we don't mind sleeping on a mattress on the floor! Thanks anyway for the offer!
LBM 30/6/9 Unsecured debts [STRIKE]£25,323.48[/STRIKE] £0 :T Debt free

Have been emailing the guy back and forth re: the car. We did a "we buy any car" quote and only got £4398:eek:. A'lot less than we were expecting, but as the car is paid off its all ours. The guy is in the Army and can only offer us £4200, but I think I'm being a bit mushy as I'd rather he had the car for his family as he is returning to Afghanistan.:o
Also by the time We Buy Any Car take their fee, I'm sure it would be around that we would actually get.
Will phone Alan and see what he says.LBM 30/6/9 Unsecured debts [STRIKE]£25,323.48[/STRIKE] £0 :T Debt free

I might be slightly biased though seeing as though hubby is in army

I would also say go for it, but I'm a British Army Veteran, so I'm also biased.:D:p 0 -
Well thanks for all your feedback. The Army guy hasn't got back to me, so I've listed it on ebay.LBM 30/6/9 Unsecured debts [STRIKE]£25,323.48[/STRIKE] £0 :T Debt free

Have just had an offer of £4400 but the guy sounds a bit dodgy so have asked that he wait until tomorrow evening to collect the car, so my hubby can be home!
