Fantastic! Hope you have years of happy motoring with her. What's her name?

Exciting car news! Glad you found something that ticked the right boxes!

Good news first on resisting the overdraft and getting through to payday and for getting a new car.  Never had Fords but lots of people swear by them.

A fair number of people swear AT them, too... Reminds me of the old joke about car names as acronyms - Fix Or Repair Daily or my personal favourite - Fix It Again Tomorrow. Having had an ancient Fiat as my first car I can confirm the latter is true!  There was one for Renault at one stage as well - I know it began with Rust but I can't remember the rest!

I've never really been one to name cars except my old Kia Picanto which I called the roller skate 🤣

This morning I transferred the payment to the garage. Went via tcb and got insurance via Go Compare. £224 all paid in full and I'll get meerkat movies 👍 I've sorn'd my old car. Need to empty the boot and arrange for a scrap company to collect.

@EssexHebridean I don't know any others 🤣

Morning all, how is every one? 

I have enjoyed driving around in my new car. 🚗 

Yesterday MrM took the pup on a long walk whilst I hoovered like a demon and tidied away all the shoes. I managed to get rid of 4 bags of clothes and shoes to the charity shop. Today is planned more tidying and maybe a tip run if I can. Problem is I've started watching Vikings Valhalla on Netflix so may not get as much done! 😂

I'm in the office 3 days next week. I've put it to MrM that once we are sorted onto regular days in the office, him Mon - Weds and me Thurs & Friday, I expect him to cook on my office days. It went down like a lead balloon as he can't/doesn't cook but it's only fair I think.

Exactly. Everyone has to play their role in the team. We share cooking but Mr M_F only does the bang in the oven stuff or the veg to go with a roast. It works for us. I tend to batch cook one or two meals on the weekend so it makes midweek a bit easier. He does all the clearing up no matter whos cooked to make it fairer. I also do the baking etc

I'm not expecting Michelin style cooking, it'll probably be things that can be fried or shove  in the oven. I don't care as long as I don't have to do it.

Also found out I can't iron with the dog around! Was going to do a bit yesterday and she went loopy barking at the iron steaming.😬
