The wonderful sparkly Elite Christmas thread of love, dreams and glitches ©

I'm back home now and i've checked my sada wombles. Got £15.55 today:D most of them gave me nothing, but the best one was for £6 odd from the glitchy 23rd:) I need to input my T's wombles now. I'm not happy with mr T. I was waiting for a PP for quite a couple of days. Entered details again and got an email back today saying there wasn't enough items. The receipt was masssive! Not going to do anything about it though as they used a CC as payment. I would complain if they'd paid by cash!

DD's friend came last night and she recently started at T as a supervisor. She knows about DTD and wombling and told me to look out tommorow as a lot of promotions end tonight. Might be worth a look in the morning. i will have to go early as off to Costco with Mum and my 2 sisters. Anyone know of any good offers there at the moment?

We will have to work out what offers to look out for- I am sure Rootednomad is the one who is good at this.

No idea cost wise, but i would go with the aa or rac names you can trust and fall back on should they be wrong. They all searchbthe same databases as far as i know.

Right cheers.
Thinking about it just being a bit paranoid.
Should be no finance as it is an 04
mileage tallys up with mot certificates
Mechanic checked it over for damage - none
Took it for a test drive and apart from a warped brake disk or so he thought everything fine.
Yes paranoid :eek:

Its from a garage and an 04 plate 1 owner, mate is happy all the paperwork tallys up just wondered seen as its my sons first car would hate for something to go wrong.
Dont imagine there would be any outstanding finance thinking about it now.

If its from a garage you are covered, it has to be roadworthy and as advertised ...........its the private sellers that can sell you a pup and turn around and say sold as seen....

Epic post alert. No need to read or reply:D just getting a matter off my chest.

Been quiet for the last couple of days because I had a dilemma. My dear dad who died just nearly 4 years ago owned a holiday home in France. He spent almost half of the year there after he retired and divorced my mother and he loved it dearly. When he died I inherited it. I went there about a month after he died but it was a bit soon for me to decide what to do with it so I pretty much mothballed the place. He was friendly with a local man who agreed to 'care take' the place for me. I paid him twice year ever since in return for him sorting out a few minor maintenance issues, having the gardens done and passing on mail etc.

I have pretty much buried my head in the sand about the place after that. I had hoped back then we may grow to love it as our holiday home in years to come? maybe. But as my Oh wont leave the house, never mind board a plane that's unlikely:(. Anyway, I had a letter from dads caretaker friends daughter to tell me he had passed away:( so I now have no choice but to face up to it and sort it out.

I have a colleague who has a friend who deals in property on the continent and I have been in touch with him. My choices are basically....keep it and pay someone to maintain it. Rent it out as a holiday let ( Im not keen on that), or sell it. So I've spent all night looking for flights and am going there on Thursday next week. I will attend the funeral of my dads friend, have a good look at the place and decide what I want to do.

I feel very heavy hearted about it. I think once I deal with it my last ties with my dad will be gone:(....that makes me feel very sad. But if I think about it practically we have been living off a diminishing amount if savings fir 6 months and whatever I decide, this could be a source of income

Sorry for a long post. My OH just looks at me with a blank face when I try to discuss with him.....he has lost track of what's what financially:o

Sorry to hear this fairclaire, I hope that your trip will give you some clarity, but know that your father is not still with you through physical things; your memories are inside and no-one can take them from you. The most precious place you can keep him is your heart, things are just things
