    Hi Lou :D

    Unfortunately I need a moderate sized car otherwise I would do the same. Can't go any smaller than a Fiesta/Yaris because of fitting a car seat in for my niece and another one when baby bump arrives :).

    I bet a Smart Car is great for fuel economy :D

    Have changed my mind about what my next target will be with the Amazon vouchers. We already have a king sized duvet and bedding so that will do for now. If OH wants some new bedding, then he can dip into his own pocket and get some!! ;)

    I've just been watching Deal or no Deal and they had twins on there who both had Cystic Fibrosis. Neither of them worked because when they did, their health suffered. I can relate to that, hence why I work from home. They both said they go to the gym every day and this helps them clear their lungs. This is the one area of my health that I am not very good at maintaining.

    Therefore, after I've got my bed, I'm going to start saving for a Wii and a Wii Fit so I can start doing exercise every day. It's not as embarrassing either if I do it in the comfort of my own home. Plus I can cough and rest as much as I need to.

    So a Wii and Wii Fit costs £185 from Amazon. But need to get this blasted bed first :)

    Hi Emzilla, well done on the extra sleep:j. Before I chose to give up my car I had a Peugeot 106 and the fuel was 86.9p per litre and I used to put £20 in and it would last me a week. £40 would fill the tank up but I think you got that few extra miles out of half filling the tank. Well done on getting the extra vouchers, that bed will coming your way soon. :T

    And quite right on getting a Wii Fit, Id like one of those too but no space to do it in! :o

    Im not a fan of Smart Cars but a wee Clio or Corsa would do me nicely. Mazda 2's are quite nice too! :o

    My favourite car is a Toyota Yaris. I had a bright blue one which I called JJ. I still miss him, he was a gorgeous car.

    Fiestas are very good too, lots of features and the heated windscreen is a godsend during the winter.

    Not me unfortunately - I can't have kids so no chance there :(.

    My sister is nearly 7 months pregnant :). I will be looking after him or her a lot when she goes back to work. I'm even naming the baby because I won't ever get to have one of my own. I'm a very doting auntie :). I think she's having a boy.
