    for me it was just too low - I certainly don't drive with my legs open - very unladylike!! :eek::rotfl:

    MX5 also a bit small...........bit of a hairdresser's car......:p

    I always thought that was a Toyota Celica...

    I think the Toyota MR2 holds number 1 spot for coiffures everywhere......with the MX5 not far behind....

    I'd have a Celica though.....

    Just need to stop putting the top price of my search as £4k..........I can't afford anything in the £3k- £4k bracket but there's a few nice ones creeping in at that price.

    I even found myself taking a second look at a:o Rover :oat £1900.

    I also spent the £5 voucher Kellogg's recently sent me for letting them know about the bashed cereal I bought.

    I did really well, 4 boxes in total - huge box of Crunchy Nut Cornflakes (£2 instead of £2.88), 2 boxes of red berry Special K for £1.40 each (half price) and a box of a new cereal called Krave at £1 introductory offer.

    Cereal sorted for a couple of months!!!

    More news. Been looking at going back to a contract phone for months but never could justify it. I was spending around £5 - £8 per month and couldn't find a cheap enough contract that had unlimited internet (the only reason I'd change). Anyway, my useage has increased a bit towards £10 per month over the last couple of months - all on text useage so I've just called t-mobile and they have transferred me to the £10 per month top-up for unlimited text and internet for life. I keep my number so I'm on a mission now to find a really cheap internet friendly phone with a touchscreen.

    I know which phone I want (I'd like the t-mobile G2 touch) but if I can find a dirt cheap Tocco Lite I might go for that. No rush though and at least I know I can text as much as I like and if I want to go online on the phone I have, it's also free (even though the web is pants on my antiquated phone!!)

    If my useage drops again, I know I can just go back to normal top-up without being tied to a contract.

    unless it's a Rover.....:rolleyes: Bizarrely he hasn't pushed them at all :confused:. The convertible is a definite 'no', although it was a Golf/a convertible it didn't feel right - especially the spring inthe seat pushing into my bum :rotfl:

    Been at the hospital all morning. Just got back. Had to have a the blood test/glucose drink/another blood test because of the skewed glucose blood test I had last week :rolleyes:

    I quite liked the drink - it was a bit like Mead :o:rotfl:

    Just having my lunch now and will then go into work.
