Nice people thread part 6 - thrice by twice as nice :)

I just plan to keep the current car a very long time so the mileage will get high eventually.

I have been following the paralympics closely, some great results so far.

Also 10/10 for channel 4, one for the level of coverage but also there explanations of things.

Do like the last leg too, not taking things to seriously.

I've been up for 44 hours, so I really don't!

So £1170 to last from mid Sept to mid Jan.

That's about half my basic (pre-dividend) company income SC.

We manage to live on £16,210 a year with a massive house and 2 children (not taking company expenses into account, and not taking the holiday into account, so nearer to a student lifestyle), and there's no reason why he shouldn't too! OH's car insurance and her £90/week of diesel is included in that calculation, so it's about the same. I bank about 90% of the dividend payments now, so we're restricting ourselves to regenerating profits and taking that tax-free.

The trick of it is getting them not to go mental.

The mrs spends about £16,210 a week. It's all I can do to get a pint in before the Amex runs dry.

Well CK how does she drive? How far you going for a spin today?

Ended up staying in myself last night, was quite tired and I'm saving. So at £3,040 right now...on track for the £10k by year end. Away to service my van myself today, bit less stressful than going to one of my own jobs. Also need to give it a good clean inside and out. What's everyone else upto today?

Living on £16k a year with a mortgage sounds hard...especially with a gf like mine!

Some serious stuff for. Saturday morning.

Imo the nice people thread temperature has changed. I have been considering taking a break, particularly as after next week i should be feeling better and hopefully been doing more. But some of you have been chums and confidantes for years now, and just walking out without explanation is a bit unfair on what in some cases have also become real life friends.

I have been mulling this over and it was almost a relief to find i am not the only person who feels this way, something i had sensed might be the case from previous private communication with a few people where i have voiced concerns and not been met as a suspicious old bag.

I don't really know what i am trying to say here apart from, well, some of you have my email, so if i do decide to !!!!!! off disappear i hope those, and some others stay in touch. I of course, might not go....and this might all be somewhat premature, but, atm i feel like i am getting closer and closer to feeling two faced and duplicitous as i become more and more uncomfortable with some things round here.

I am meeting a friend for lunch, will take the dog for a swim (his favourite past-time) and cook dinner. Anything else will be a bonus.

Mr S is home this weekend and is off doing a 2 day powerboat RYA course. We are off on holiday in a week or so and will hire a boat whilst there for a day, and neither of us felt the 'limited' instruction we would get would make us feel safe.

This 2 days was £300 and I am not fit enough to do the course instead - so I hope his ribs can bear the strain.

Some of his work kit is high end sailing wet weather gear emblazoned with his name and a logo - so he is in danger of looking professional beyond his novice ability - so he has dressed it down with his chamaeu wellies, cycling gloves and tennis ruck sack. Managed to make himself look quite a mess actually.

I have been a perfect wife and made him a packed lunch :A

I hope I haven't offended.

TBH I'm confused. and upset that I could lose a virtual friend for a reason I don't understand. and bewildered that I haven't picked up a vibe that others have seen/ felt.

But maybe I've been wrapped up in a sea of bereavement and haven't noticed stuff.
