    I have a fesita which I adore!

    I got very upset when someone offered to buy her off me. But I would have thought there might be something similar for them.

    I have so many ideas, I'm going to spend ages working through them all.

    I loved my fiesta, it was a green K reg, then one day about six years ago it developed a leak in the footwell, so had to get rid, had a punto(awful car), then an nissan, then my brother took me to see this car - its on my avatar piccy, my daughter is doing acrobatics on it. Insurance is £315 for me. Tax is £180 I think. but the cars are very reliable. Mine is an import 'S' Ltd, red leather seats, and red carpet, 13 years old and in good nick.

    I thought someone would get jealous and attack it but nothing has ever happened to it. When I'm having a bad day I just put the roof down and go for a drive in it over the hills and I feel better.

    Oh dear. I shouldn't :rotfl: but I just did.

    I've got ten pieces of Ikea in my front room and seventeen pieces altogether in the house. I love the place and would spend thousands in there given the chance ( and the money! ). I try to get down at least once a week if I can....:eek: but I buy a fair bit off Gumtree as it's even cheaper.

    Now that sounds like you have an Ikea addiction!!

    I've just managed to get a free Nokia Slide out of T-mobile!!! It's amazing what happens when you complain!!! I have been evil customer.

    I can't believe you laughed!!! I was a damsel in distress... with the back board from my boot that I forgot to put in before closing it.

    Hi Everyone,

    My Cat is rubbish at keeping me warm too but my dog is brilliant at it and since he needs three long walks a day we meet loads of people all the time. Also, doggy people tend to be really friendly.

    Have you got a dog you could borrow for walkies etc?

    I thought hunting with dogs had been outlawed... ;)

    Ooh, ooh, flirting and talking about cars, may I join in, please? I too am in the same situation, recently split up from my boyfriend (god i hate that term!) but lack the funds to be sociable and meet new people. And, I don't thing bars are great places to meet anyone tbh. I have a siecento, btw, but really want an mg convertible - have worked out I can afford one in 2010!
