    Whilst doing that, keep thinking about getting the sports car up for sale now rather than wait until after service and new tax are on and taking pics with the great weather. Having trouble putting the right sale price on it though - none up for sale at the moment and the one I did see was at a garage, not private. What do you lovely people think? I know where I'm going to advertise it, so at least one bit decided.

    Will defo go and take pics later - got fantastic greenspace and trees close by for a nice backdrop.

    What is the "sports car"? Make, model, year, condition / miles?

    I may be interested. ;) Seriously, where are you advertising it and why there? Also, it's worth what somebody is willing to pay and what you are willing to let it go for.

    Can I PM you the details? Would definitely appreciate your thoughts knowing your knowledge, though it's not a classic in the true sense like an MGB or similar. Don't want to possibly out myself by posting them up here. :)

    I've not advertised it as yet, the price point is holding me back. I hear what you're saying on that too, just lack of the same car for sale means I'm struggling to get a guide price.

    By all means send me a message, I may be able to point you in the right direction regarding price but cannot promise anything. :)

    PM sent and thank you Alex for looking at that for me. :T Much appreciated.

    So the afternoon has run away - DS has had his hair cut and that cost £10, I forgot to take the money to the bank as well and I've not achieved anything else on the decorating front.

    Onto the financials:
    - bank account checked
    - freepostcodelottery checked
    - nectar adpoints - double pointer (yet again a day after I've viewed it as a single :mad:) and an extra add, so now up to 60
    - nectar canvass - just done a 60 pointer
    - nectar card - up to £55.86
    - Inbox Pounds - up to £14.79
    - Qmee - another 15p in the pot

    It's gone cold and grey outside with light rain, so I've put the heating on and a light is on too :eek:

    Very sad about the South Korea ferry sinking and all those poor children still inside it. :( Puts everything else into perspective and makes me thankful DS is at home and safe.

    In for a tv night here also and maybe more surveys :D
