    Seventh Anniversary Debt-free and Proud!
    Ruby, You make me laugh, Love your writing style :)
    Have faith in DD2 .. This might just be her day :D

    My FIL was lovely, used to tell me dirty jokes when he thought no-one else was listening , then giggle in a very unseemly fashion, So unlike him really, But I think I was the only DIL that he showed that mischievous side to, I felt lucky to have known him .
    Its just a bad day, Not a bad life .. :cool:

    I hope your oh's company do actually allow him to drive the van for personal use. A growing number of companies don't due to Tax implications (and the fact they have to treat the vehicle as a ;benefit in kind' and charge him more Tax.

    You are not being pathetic. I look at what you are paying-off and it makes my total look much more achievable.

    Depending on what your oh does for a job, it could still be worth bringing the van home as he can use it to got to/from work so will save on travel costs.

    Right, off to update my own diary.
