Yes, we don't pay much for insurance, I must admit. Even the big van is just the wrong side of £200, fully comp & with legal expenses cover too.

Hubby pays £650 for his small 12 year old van, clean license, hardly used but needed sometimes at work, but that's london living I guess.

If only it was a van Alfie we'd be driving down to have it, as ours has just failed it's MOT, nothing the matter with the van except rust:mad: underneath, loads of it, on important parts. Best quote was£800 vans not worth that much, and several said not worth it. Not a squeak mentioned last year about it and having looked can't believe it got that bad over the last year alone. Maybe all the rain here over the last 3 months has just pushed it too far.

If it was a Zafira, we'd jump at it, but the Agila wouldn't like what we'd want to do....:o

We want a silver car next. They don't show the mud like dark ones.

£650 to insure a van!!!:eek: The Sprinter is like a tank, and it's £212, but our broker has always been unbeatable.

Firstly, very sorry to hear about your dog, lucielle.

We don't have a van. Nobody here does.
Oh, that's not quite true the local builder & electrician do but that's different. Between us we could probably rattle up almost every vehicle known to man but vans are few & far between, strangely.

Another soggy day.
I'd say that it gave an opportunity to get domestic things done but there's only so much laundry 2 people can produce so the loads are getting smaller :rotfl:

I think there is a limit on free listings, dont think there is a limit on paid listings but someone else might know.

How many bags of that lovely clobber do you have???!!!! Even better than rusty old stoves :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Listed 4 bins this afternoon and two have sold already, including the coffee pot sleeper. How am I supposed to get listings available for sale up?:mad:

One 1893 item I offered direct this afternoon to the current owners of the building depicted. They weren't interested so it was sweet that it sold within an hour

At least I've done something productive today. Continuous rain means gardening impossible

luceille....:o:o:o:o:o:o I SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO know what you are going through... its hard, very hard, but time will heal the pain....

Alfie..... a few weeks to late, otherwise would have had it for eldest..

DONT talk to me about insurance:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: It was cheaper for me to have fleet insurance for our vans etc. 5k a year:eek::eek::eek::eek:
daylight flipping robbery...:eek: if we had insured the 5 veichles individually it would have been alot more than that, ( they wanted 2k for one van, small claim the year before)

and this doesnt include the eldest insurance:eek: which was just over 3k:eek::eek::eek::eek:

Wish we could go back to the horse and car, but you would prop have to have road tax, horse insurance, and an mot on the horse and cart too:rotfl:
