Yep, it'll be a 3 month wait for any car ordered as new.....I lose a lot financially, they get me from all angles, tax and losing essential user and mileage rate goes significantly down plus a deduction from pay dependent which model. A 3 year tie in and tons of conditions re business and personal mileage......its not selling itself to me to be honest.

Hubby of the opinion that I go for a car from a garage with some sort of warranty....that'll cost more than my budget.....arghhhh.

Pah and meh!

There was something on the radio yesterday about how little value there is in car warranties. Can't remember what it was, but it was on R4, so you might be able to find it on listen again. It was probably something dull like you & yours!

Now that OH is self-employed and working from home there seems to be a lot more mess....:rolleyes:

Since I've been working from home more there seems to be a lot more mess... as I'm the only one here, I can only assume that it's one of those mischevious elves!

Good news for soappie - the sun is shining here!!!

Overslept so was nearly late for my first call of the day. I've managed breakfast while listening in, but I'm in my PJs, grubby and tired ... I need to get this morning problem sorted.

I just don't like it day in, day out. I'm solar powered. It seems everytime I've got home from work just recently, I've got wet waiting for the bus then it's been so dark I've had to have the lights on at 2.30pm each afternoon. I do the dysoning and then find, when we do get a sliver of light, that I've missed loads of dog hairs in the corners because I just can't see them!

Also, I'm a closet weather geek.... I blame it on my time working for the Met Office....

Sorry I didnt mean it to sound quite the way it did, it was more of a 'soappie how come you always get caught in the rain '

Right before I start - hugs for those in need

Well done Jacob! Milly still isnt walking lazy little mare, 15months now and i know i bloody well know she is going to start walking whilst she is at Jase's moms

Carers just left, and i've perched my butt on the sofa with a board jase adapted for me last night, to help make my cards. I decieded last night i wanted to make the cards lol so i've got to get 20ODD cards made by 2pm lol JASE IS COMING BACK! He's coming home a day early whooooohoooo!
I'm gutted this morning Jaimee-leigh has her Nativity and carol concert today at the big church and i cant go. So i am going to sulk in a sea of glitter, card and sparkly things.....I might even turn on the tree lights(if i can poke the plug with my stick) on and stick on a xmas cd.....ARGH!!!
Ooooo, and i got into major trouble last night...i've got £100 over budget on jaimee and lewis, idc really cus can afford it and i dont see why if i can, then why i cant! However....erm jase's opinion differs! Anywho i blew the budget with a load of Playmobile stuff. I personally think they have been so helpfull and wonderful since ive been off my feet they deserve a treat.....
ALTHOUGH¬Lewis raided the fridge this morning at 4am and ate a whole jar of chocolate spread so i hope he is as sick as a pig at school that'll teach him!ARGH.....:rotfl:

I think its his way of saying he's still around, let them flash and think not of the fact that you wouldnt let him have them on but that he has them on now

I cannot keep up with this thread. I h ave both the little pixies home today, both are slightly under the weather and for some reason I am exhausted today.

I am having a mini panic. I have not even started to wrap our christmas pressies yet. i'm so far behind. Cards i have written 3, only 47 to go!!!!!! oh and not getting much flying done. I have sorted 3 bags for charity shop and stitched a sock monkey though.
