    i'm not happy at diesel being £1.35 per litre :( it's costing a bomb to drive around these days.
    I know people on here count their NSD's well i might start trying to see how many NDD's i can do each week - that's "no driving days" in case anybody wondered!! lol... maybe try and move all my "driving" errands onto 2 or 3 days each week and do them all together in a sort of "round trip". If the car doesnt move off the drive then it wont be using fuel.
    Anyway sorry for grumbling - I'm goingto go get some tea and see whats been recorded on the telly I think, will be back a bit later :)

    Hiya everyone, sorry I was away longer than I planned - when I came back from my friends, we ate dinner which I had left with instructions for Mr 3Dogs to be ready at the right time, then I did some checking up on WTaxCredit, and filled in Mr 3Dogs' form for Return2Work Credit which all took longer than I thought
    :( Mr 3Dogs 3-7-12 :( 3Dogs'Mam 31-3-13 :(

    Can I join in on the grumble about fuel prices - diesel is £137.9 around here :mad: :mad: travel the 16 miles to P'boro and it is £133.9, adn when I go up to visit Mam it is £132.9 up there

    You really have to think twice about every journey now, with fuel so expensive, plus with car/van insurance climbing all the time, along with road tax ..................... :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: ......... and then they are planning on doing away with the bus service in our village :mad: :mad:
