    you seen the proces of skodas recently shocking i tell you ....how did training go today?

    Just been looking - ouch! Don't think we can afford anything at all new - let alone a decent sized estate! And 0% deals all seem to need 30% deposit :(

    Really hate all the car stuff - seems a minefield and you lose out either way - with new they lose value as soon as the come out of the showroom, with used they are potentially problematic. Perhaps will see if can find any nearly used bargains - or maybe will just fix up ours and leave it a while!

    Though must say I am very tempted by this - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=270248055267&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=017
    how cute is that?! If I knew my way round an engine.... (and had a spare 3.5K!)

    Training was good thanks - lovely dog and very nice people.

    You didn't just buy it did you??! It's just listed as sold ...ah well. Back to reality.
    Love these old campers though - used to have a VW - its engine eventually blew up on the M1 but it was lovely until then! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Then had a couple of old LDV based campers - very boxy but great for room. Would love another camper but need to be practical.... damn it!

    Another Monday - how does it come round so fast? Was completely pants yesterday - think the shock of the price of cars did me in! So now am up against it to get ready for Dublin - flight is tomorrow evening and nothing is done - and I have work for 2 days!! Might have to take desperate measures like taking tomorrow off! Anyway can get started with washing now - and can check in - if I can find our passports!
    Have a good day all.

    *I* was fairly pants yesterday! I see that there were only a few things I didn't cross off my list, but I dawdled about for ages, and didn't go to bed till stupid o'clock. But I'm not flying off tomorrow! I hope you find those passports!
