Pay off mortgage and start having fun!

Glad I'm not the only one on here who impulse buys cars.

I'm not going to "tell you off", I'm just pleased you no longer own a Zafira!

:rotfl: it did serve us well Alex, but was not the most exciting car ever although it was an impulse buy , I did spend quite a lot of time online reading reviews, comparing prices, checking insurance /tax costs etc.

I have had a terrible headache all day and should have gone to bed early- as its half term I will start work much earlier so I can see my lovelies in the afternoon, I can usually catch a glimpse of them by the fridge from time to time if I am lucky

Finances re jiggled about due to accidental car purchase, I had still not really set a fixed op figure for this year, dh's tax code has just been lowered too which is a pain. Wages roughly known, and I will be attempting to op by an extra £317 pm over what we need to clear in term, I am tired and can't remember how many months it knocks off, it could be 9 or 10 off the term.

Money also allocated for cruise expenses not paid yet, like parking , tips and £50 per day spending money (it's all inclusive).

NG: Sorry but there's no excuse for ever driving / owning a Zafira. 7 seats / load space / towing? Get a LR Discovery or a 110. Promise you'll never buy a Vauxhall again?

Except for fuel costs. Cost of parts.

newgirly

Exactly shs, plus costs aside it was only for us and the kids around
town and motorways, no towing required

I finished work at 10.30 am and met dd in town, still need to make 2 hours up later on in the week now, but it is half term

Weight loss terrible this week, didn't stick to alcohol free at the weekend and had a curry , have put on nearly 3lb have been good today though and am off to Zumba tonight, why do I sabotage my own efforts when I was doing well?! Have given myself a serious talking to and am back on the horse now though, am filling in mfp again.

smallholdingsister

Think of HDK's mobile 'phone talk.

newgirly

I don't know what that was shs

smallholdingsister

She does it better than me, but it's a dieting analogy.
So if you drop your 'phone do you stamp on it then throw it in the bin...or do you dust it down and try to retrieve some good from the situation?

newgirly

Oh I see I keep dropping my phone a lot though

Zumba done, came to find dh watching a film when he knows it's X files at 9, tut tut, he thinks he has as much right as me to choose what to watch :rotfl:
