Burlesque Babe bid to stay debt free in 2010

Pooky

What reg was your old car BB?

DH says it's very unlikey that you'll get the scrapage allowance unless you've got paperwork to prove that you had a new car on order.....but fingers crossed your case goes to some office pleb that just passes it through without quibbling.

P reg. Pooky. They've said it is probably going to be a 'no' but might as well chuck it in the mix really! Well, to be honest I blame Pepe - he told me to do it :rotfl:

Got the details about the Rusty Musicians event - the workshops are miles away - all the furthest flung corners of Dorset, none are even vaguely local and even the dress rehearsal is Bridport (25 miles away) so I'm not going to pursue it. I thought they'd maybe have 1 in Poole, 1 in Bournemouth and then 1 workshop in somewhere like Dorchester but they are all over the far side of the county. Still want a flute though and might research local amateur orchestras.

Pooky

P reg would probably only get you around £400/500.

It's always worth asking about the scrapage - they can only say no

Shame all the orchestra stuff is so far out from you but a great hobby to take up again.

Burlesque_Babe

god, that little? _pale_ Christ..............I need a drink.......

Pooky

They only have to give you enough to buy a P reg of the equivilant milage/condition etc and of course they go on book price not what it would actually cost you.

I was hoping for £1000 It was in really good condition with a full Honda service history, 90 something on the clock, built in sat nav system a £300 set of alloys (although don't let OH hear this - I always just say 'they're just wheels'! when he goes on about alloys!! )

Sigh.........might have more debt to pay off than I was expecting then. Poor car, it had years of life left in it

I think I will cry if I get that little for it

Pooky

Were the alloys declared on your policy as they are a modification - they charge extra for them?

Burlesque_Babe

yeah, I told them when I got the car.

Pooky

They should pay a bit extra out towards those then. :j

Burlesque_Babe

oo-er...........I seem to have spent £29 on a second hand flute on ebay.........
