    Good.

    Whatever you do, car, flat or college is your decision but the loan was a BAD BAD idea. If you have savings then you have choice. Enjoy the feeling of debtfreeness and don't get dragged down by a chain of debt around your neck again. Live within your means, spend less than you earn and you will be happy.

    Glad you had a lovely holiday by the way but don't forget the answer is no from now on. :)I'm an old nag, arent I?

    yep but what would i do without you in_love.gif

    As usual Tes, is correct.

    the only loan worth taking on is a student loan- even then I struggle to be able to support them , knowing how long its taken to pay the bl**der back :mad:
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    Great description.

    Of most fiats actually. I had a punto as a curtesy car once. I kept opening the door and looking under the car. Just to check the blade was still going round.
