google it muncki. you have to buy fruit and veg and review it. send them your receipts and they refund you. max £25 plus postage for sending in your receipts. can buy from anywhere I think.
they stopped taking on more people a while ago but seem to be accepting at the moment. people have received their payments but who knows how long it will last. but worth a punt

Theres a thread on here about it. Seems legit, can get payment through paypal and I suppose if it does all go tits up then I haven't lost anything because I spend that on fruit and veg anyway (well sometimes hehe)

I am prob going to turn it into the finance company, I just cant handle it right now, the recession and such really took its toll on me!

NLID - I have 30k on mine at the moment and it is in amazing condition and still just as if it was brand new, still getting around 60ish to the gallon.

We did a total of 10,003 miles in the Aygo in 18 months, Jen drove it very carefully. I thrashed the living daylights out of it (The rev limiter in 1st is at 28mph is one such example I can recall)

Jen did about 4000 miles in it, however my car kept breaking down so I had to use it to commute to work (50 miles each way - clocking up 2,500 miles whilst mine was off the road) and whilst it still returned 50-60mpg all the time - it was not as punchy as it once was and was time to move on - still miss that little thing as it is the only brand new car we have bought!

Looking back it was a mistake to buy that car over a second hand car but we needed a car right there and then and the Toyota Stealership provided us with a car to run around in foc whilst our aygo was manufactured.

I have been very lucky with this Aygo, still has all its get up and go and I must say I am hard on cars, I have a passion for driving, speed, the sound etc. This one is an automatic with a manual overdrive. It really is an excellant car and I am going to be very sad to let it go, but needs must and all that. Perhaps one day the time will be right for me to have a new car. In the meantime will be buses and trains for me for a few months. Just want to save a few hundred and find a little runner to keep me going for a while I sort out finances and save some cash. I hate to see it but if the ex has his way soon I will end up filing the big B word soon.

See I love driving and I love speed but thats where I end. OH says he becomes one with the car and feels it and understands it lol. He is forever telling me off for doing something that the car won't like. lol

I have considered that as an option if im honest. Im sick of the pain of all of this and we have nothing really to show for it other than a 42" Tv I paid for on my debit card last year (I havent spent on credit since 2008)

My current daily grind, A sierra estate cost me £300 + the road tax and is £60 a month to insure due to my 3 points and my wife's minor accidents and some uninsured b!*#h running into the aygo 3 months after she got it!

The only thing stopping me going bankrupt is the fact I own my own house and dont want to lose it

munchki

NLID, you dont always lose the house anymore. I had a friend of a friend who was was able to keep theirs. really not sure how it all works to be fair

I figure I have lost pretty much everything and once the car is gone it is another debt that I will have to pay some part back in. It was bought before my marriage fell apart and the ex has refused to pay anything towards anything. Including an overdraft on a joint account and now the bank has closed my own single account that I had on my own because of the OD on the joint account and yet again he gets away with nothing! I have been paying on the od since the split. Yet again I have had to pay the price. So if i do go down that path I am going to wait til after the divorce is final. Imean I really dont have anything left to lose and it would be nice to breath and really start over again!

Oh gosh sorry for the rant. I have been doing a lot of thinking about the divorce the ex and life in general the past few days!
