BM i've got a crappy 1.2 and i pay £68 tax every 6 months i think.

My MOT - well i want to get £200-£300 saved up for it cos it's a P reg, tho it passed first time in Dec :T
I only paid £250 for the car itself lol. Insurance for me 3rd party F+T (licence for 1 year at time of quote, 24 yrs old) is £35 a month. Put about £10 a week petrol in and i only really do the school run - filled up yesterday and noticed it's 109p a litre :eek:

So if i save £200 for MOT i reckon it costs me about £25 a week to run my car. Based on no longer journeys though.

Morning everyone:)

Took Kai to the doctors he has an ear infection:( When I took him last time she said his ears were inflamed and red, but said it could have been caused (made worse) by the tonsilitis so wanted to concentrate on clearing that up first.....He is now on a different course of anti-biotics for the ear infection.

yay 3 on the comfy bra:D I know exactly how you feel. We were in TK Maxx and I tried loads on and now have a nice comfy one, although I am still unsure if I should have gone a(nother) size bigger!!!

How come your clothes have holes in them beenie? Is it your washing machine?

Cos i'm a scruffy minger and Primark clothes are crap :rotfl:

I also hate hate hate (with a PASSION) clothes shopping. So even when i could spare the cash to buy myself clothes, i tend to make do with what i've got rather than shop lol.

I usually walk into a clothes shop, look around for 2 seconds before realising i could spend 5 hours in there and be none the wiser, so save the effort. I just feel like nothing ever suits me, and if i try anything on i look about 25 stone in the changing room mirrors.

That's great to know BC his petrol will be a lot higher no doubt as he'd have to use it to work and back, but It means we could go out on days out that we normally wouldn't because the buses are crap or whatever!

Will his insurance be sky high because he is a new driver? I remember my friends were 1k a year or something! He is 27, so not like he is 18!

On the saving point I guess is that loads of guys at his work fix up cars for their hobby and can do most things so if anything went wrong they would sort it for el cheap, and then when it went in for it's proper M.O.T, it would pass because nowt was wrong.....

And ARGH he just texted me saying he can't get 3 days off in Feb that he was gonna take as Keira's nursery is off then. He's on a course for 2 weeks. Baaaaaah.

Mind you his company are pretty decent on the course front he's got loads of stuff now through them, forklift license, some offshore thingy where you direct cranes or something....soldjering aswell? God knows! But they keep the certificates and I guess if he leaves on good terms they will give him them, but if he don't then he doesn't get em hahahaha.

Im still not dressed

Sorry hun hope you didnt think I was being rude, I was only asking cos my 10 month old washing machine keeps putting holes in my things! Not anybody elses just mine! I bought a gorgeous cardigan (not a jazzy one lol) it was £55 and I dont like spending alot on my clothes and first time after washing it, it came out with a massive hole in I was less than impressed :mad:

LOL MFD -- you know me, always listening too much to what i am 'told' as opposed to trusting myself.

it is on the formula boxes but i could never understand how they could tell you what was right or wrong becuase if you are breastfeeding you can't measure it.

Maybe that is why I don't care...because when we were exclusively BF then I never knew and just had to trust him to take as much as he wanted.

Sometimes he drinks all his bottle with the CM, others he doesn't, I don't care!

I was just about to say do you need to pee on a stick! :eek: But MFD beat me to it (again!).

Great minds think alike mine is just faster than yours :rotfl:


OH hasn't married his ex's twin has he! :rotfl::rotfl: You could go on Jeremy Kyle! :rotfl:

Well I would have said we were nothing alike...until yesterday!!
We had a good old gossip last night and a bit of a giggle, it shouldn't be a surprise that she is nice, hubby does have excellent taste...although it got even better as he matured

My little pudding usually has 28oz a day! Best look at booking fat camp for next summer.

Yay - V and Benjamin will have fun together :T

And Yay for comfy boobies!

I need to go bra shopping desperately but I can't see the point until I finish BF. I am guessing that my boobs will change then?

Don't know how he thinks we can afford a flippin' car though. Ignoring the initial outlay for a car, what's the costs per year?

Basing it on a crappy 1.2 litre or something.

Road tax, Insurance and ermmmm M.O.T, is that every year costs? NOt forgetting the petrol. But then he'd be able to do overtime if he had a car, so it would pay for the petrol at least.

Meh.......

buttons we allow £500 a year for our 1.0 litre, and we use approx £30 of fuel per month. Hope that helps xxx

sneaks in to say hiya!
a certain someone left me a msg on facebook to say i was missed on here....i havent been posting, but i have been keeping check on you all! :cool: I realised I was starting to get a bit addicted to this thread, so thought some time away might be good for me, and my children!

GRrrr I'm reading the money for wedding presents thread and someone's just said that their kids and them are a package and must all be invited together all the time.

It's just ridiculous - sometimes kids aren't welcome to things. Like hen parties, or stag parties, or Ann Summers parties, or quiz night at the pub. And sometimes adults aren't welcome to things, like school, or sleepovers. What sort of message does it send a kid if the parent insists they all go everywhere together all the time?

I can see how people want kids at weddings because it is a family event, but it's not the place of a guest to make that decision. And when a kids' meal costs £30 for upmarket chicken nuggets and chips I can see how a couple might not want to do that for 30+ children of their extended family, you know?
