    My first car (1984) was a mk3 cortina (think Life on Mars) we called him Charlie and he was lovely! Sorry off topic - but I did love him!

    Hi IA
    Why not put the toys you impulse buy away for xmas. You still get the thrill of buying them but you can justify it as they will be spreading cost of xmas.

    I wonder if it was my car's cousin.... Heap O'Crap! Shhhhh, shouldn't say that too loud, she might hear me and breakdown in protest!

    I saw ur impulse buys and I have to be honest, the first one looks quite scary :eek: (I am of a delicate disposition!).... but I bet Ash will LOVE it.... and love her mummy for buying it.... Perhaps u could do one of ur YouTube vids so we can all share her excitment.

    I don't think impulse buys on the whole are a bad thing, I guess it depends what it is.... and its not as if ur girls are spoiled! I have decided that my next impulse buy should be a convertable Saab tho!
