Mr and Mrs K's New Journey to a Debt Free Life.

maman: It's nothing new, I've wanted one since I was about 8.

Bought a new diary and ready for Michealmas, Mrs. Maman.

No question is a dumb question, Alex and I actually think that post shows a lot of positivity. Well done.

Am doing a lot of penny-pinching myself as my beloved Corsa started its last a week or so ago and is now in the scrapyard OH looked at an old LR Freelander but we really don't need it - it's likely to be me buying a Punto I think!

I thought a Riva Aquarama was a pen

Most people would see that as a lot of positive changes...and how much was the diary lol:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Alex - good you can see some positive changes and good luck with all the school work. Could just imagine you yesterday as I was watching a series on Harrow on Youtube. Very jealous of their education I must say, though I don't like the privilege aspect of it either.

You know something Alex, I think you've done darn well in a year - many don't learn those lessons in a lifetime! Keep it up! :T

Don't fancy Monaco though, I'd head for the Cayman Islands in my lovely new (or even second hand, one careful owner or two) yacht! :cool:
This one, for example...

... a steal at 6 million Euros! :eek::eek::rotfl:

I've been anything but positive these past few weeks but today has not been so bad.

Sorry to hear about your car. I wouldn't go with an older Freelander for various reasons but 200TDi/300TDi Land Rovers are great, easily fixed yourself (so therefore very MSE) and classless. Late Range Rover Classic cars had 200/300s fitted if not a V8, though they have appreciated in recent years, Discovery I values are still in the doldrums but will creep up as it's essentially a RRC underneath but boasts more space and there is of course the 90 / 100 Offender. Get that Landy bought, you know you want to.

It is a lot of positive changes. Unfortunately, the year has also bee very difficult.

Erm, I'd rather not say. Does get well used though.

Ha ha, I'll need it.

I do understand now that I am very lucky to have had such an education. However, you seem to imagine me in various scenarios far too much, my dear girl. :rotfl:

Why thank you, GranariesGirl.

As for chartering a yacht around the Caribbean, well, that's my inheritance gone within about, hmm let's see, a month. :eek:

I bought a Fiesta, and as I have to go through the hassle of taxing it myself I managed to haggle them down. We are hoping OH's Rover will pass it's MOT tomorrow, if not I think he wants something similar. Landy would have too high a running cost plus I wouldn't drive it

My husband always says if he could have any yacht in the world it would be a Camper and Nicholson 55 Me, well, I'd prefer this:

and if you think she looks familiar, she's the yacht used in the James Bond film, Skyfall! http://www.reginayacht.com/
