Ha ha! Quite possibly! Umming and arring between pink, purple and flowers! It is a white one so was thinking about maybe popping some little daisy stickers on it! The possibilities are endless...maybe going really retro and garish...I just don't know!
Bet DD2 can't wait to pass, hopefully she will pass a lot quicker than it took me! But then that cannot be difficult! I am gonna be driving 'Mikey' the Micra down to Chippenham tonight ready for the Half Marathon in the morning! Can't wait till tomorrow, am really looking forward to it!:j 'Proud To Be Dealing With My Debts' - DFW Nerd member 866 :j0 -

All down to your hard work and determination. Be proud when your driving to that marathon coz you should be.
I'm tempted to email Martin about abondoning you!?!

It's mental having the little car! This morning I had to vist the Post Sorting office and it would have normally taken me at least 2 hours and I was there and back within 15 minutes! Gonna have a good impact on everything!
Don't worry about the Email! I have come to terms with it now and am determined to do this alone apart from the help of you guys obviously!
I am hoping that the horrible Virgin card *could* at a push be gone by my October wages...that would be AMAZING if I could get that out of the way! Then get to grips with the huge HSBC cards!:j 'Proud To Be Dealing With My Debts' - DFW Nerd member 866 :j0 -

Hello everyone!
Just a mega quick update as am off to bed soon as am falling asleep on my computer keyboard! Am back in one piece after my run and had a fab weekend! Mikey the Micra is doing well and I love my little car! Am driving it hear, there and everywhere!
My god am I feeling the pain today...ouch! Can't sit down, walk or even pee properly!
Anyhoooos, am a little peeved as my mobile bill is a lot higher than usual so need to stop calling everyone all the time and try to conserve my money! Means less will go towards Virgin but cannot be helped I suppose
ho hum!
Am sooo shattered, be back tomorrow for a proper update! xxx:j 'Proud To Be Dealing With My Debts' - DFW Nerd member 866 :j0 -

Hiya BOB! Nope no fainting this time as was a good girl and ate and drank immediately afterwards and felt a lot better!
I just soooo had to name the car! I think it looks like a Mikey, deffo a boy car! It was a toss up between Mikey and Maurice but as it looked a funky bubble shaped car I opted for Mikey as that sounds young! I did think about Miley, but am sure that the car is a boy! :rotfl::j 'Proud To Be Dealing With My Debts' - DFW Nerd member 866 :j0 -
