    Ok, wheels have been put into motion. Have advertised my car now in gumtree and work's intranet. Fingers crossed it goes quick, but not too quick, though before end of this month would be good. Insurance will run out end of this month so is essential I sell my car soon!

    Thanks ladies. Must of worked cos someone just called about the car!!! Eeeeek! And it's really in no state to be shown yet, it hasn't been washed or cleaned inside or out! And I won't have much time to do that either...Never mind, might have to sort it out tonight after this person has come and seen it.

    As for the weekend, hoping the weather will be good enough to go to the beach on Saturday and on Sunday we have our last league game indoors. So volleyball all weekend. :)

    Thanks, I guess. I know I want to sell it, but it's bit quick.:D But yes, better early than too late.

    I'm sure you will get used to not having it once it's gone and just think of the money.

    Wish I lived near the beach, would love to live in Weymouth, I really love it there - maybe one day!!!

    Yeah, I know I'll get used to it...hopefully.

    Anyway, made a rookie mistake. The guy who's coming this evening phoned from a withheld number so I have no way of contacting him. After that I got a call from another lady who wanted to come and get the car straight away, cos that's exactly what she wants. But I really can't sell it to her, without the guy seeing it as I have no way of contacting him. Well, I guess I have a guaranteed buyer in case the guy doesn't want it.
