Depends on the car obviously, that's a lot of money for insurance. What sort of cars are you getting quotes for?!

My first car i was 21 and it was about £700 for a 1.3l Ford Escort.

Ford Fiesta I dont want an ugly car as my first car lol.

Glam, my mum is unemployed and my dad has been bankrupt so both their insurance is alot of money also.

You'd think being married would make a difference in my quotes, but noooo

I have a friend who when I visit I make Alice keep her shoes on because once her socks ended up so bad I thought I would have to throw them out. I'm sure your floors can't be any worse than that.

You know my Mum?

Oh thank god, hubby has just been given the all clear on a lump he found in his man-regions. Please get all your menfolk to give themselves a check - he has been to the hospital for an ultrasound scan today and we have been worried sick...too worried even to post on here which is very unlike me.

Will you be telling Mr Mfd that a host of internet ladies have been cheering his man parts?

I keep telling Dave to get checked out, he often gets pain in his groin bad enough to take his breath away... I've never encountered anything like it, is it normal?!

I am glad to hear some of you admitting to unclean floors, I have a constant low level of something like shame, guilt for my own laziness, and OH-resentment at the state of our floors. Our combined housework powers are significantly less than that of a skilled and willing 8 year old.

Sounds something like our house... It's not often visitor clean... I was talking about my garden to a friend the other day and she commented that she didn't remember ever seeing my garden... I said she's probably never seen further than the hall / living room... We've been friends for 6 years... :rolleyes:

GISI - I would mention it. I picked J up from creche yesterday to be told one of the kids has chicken pox, great! The exclusion period is 5 days or until they've crusted (I think)

It's after the last pox has scabbed over which is anything up to 2 weeks after the first pox appears...

Boo - I swear that Benjamin learned to move around because I was [STRIKE]too lazy to be bothered[/STRIKE] trying to foster his independence

Same for Caitlyn

I'm sure i've seen a toy hoover that actually picks up.

I was looking at the cleaning trolleys last week for V, with a little brush/mop etc. She loves cleaning but usually uses the toilet roll.

The mini Dysons pick up... Not brilliantly though...

I suppose children learn by example... Caitlyn's shown no interest in cleaning...

I had a driving lesson today... I was pretty crap... But I didn't crash...

I would rather have an ugly car than no car






Edit - No I won't Krystal! And neither will you when you next see him! He would be mortified!

BeenieCat

lol i couldn't give a monkeys what my car looks like as long as it works

It depends on the size of the engine etc. For example the 02-08 Fiesta varies between group 2 and 14 :eek: so it's not necessarily the make http://www.parkers.co.uk/insurance/groups/by-model.aspx?model=238

They only ask if you've had any accidents or made any claims so I wouldn' have thought being unemployed would make a difference - doesn't make you more likely to crash

Try adding them as named drivers to your quote then, that should make it less.

MFD - Removed my bit about my illegal shennagins

Krsytal - well done for not crashing but :eek: at the 2wk crusting period!

My_Fathers_Daughter

Just checking out childrens dysons and Amazon recommended this stick on blackout blind

May be of use to someone? Certainly cheaper than the grobag one I have...although it appears to be some white plastic and some sticky tape!!!
