Keep your current car. Is there any need to get rid of it?

Yeah. Nothing that a few hundred wouldn't fix. But then it also has over 140,000 miles on it, which means if I don't try and sell it now, with the amount of miles I do a week I'll probably never get rid. Plus I could do with a diesel, due to the mileage. And my job is pretty much safe for at least the next 6 months, in which time I'll be putting extra money aside each month to repay the loan should something happen to my job. And I only ever bought the Corolla as a stopgap, maybe 9 months max, until I got a new car. That was about 30 months ago.

My father is the one who found this car and is recommending it, as its a diesel, gets good mpg, 1.4 so its low on tax and insurance. And he knows my finances better than anyone, as I don't actually know how much I still owe him.

Like I said, I get to test drive it for a week. I'll check finances too.

Also, its a great price.

No way would I let my Dad know my cash flow, ever. Oh and I'm having steak for breakfast. Oh yeah. RUMP.

I'm having sausage, bacon and egg on toast for breakfast. Not quite as good as rump steak but for me it's a pretty decent treat

Bad morning, BUT my mum asked if I'd lost weight, and I have a yoghurt from "Nom Dairy". I think today's improving.

Its just like lamb really, except with a touch more flavour and I don't think its as fatty. Its bloody lovely gear though, and I go to Buzz Rocks in Hulme mostly, its a about ten minutes walk out of the city centre on Stretford Rd, if you're ever over that way, try it out.

Completely impromptu unplanned night out.

Started with me meeting my brother for a few quiet drinks, then turned into a all night drinkstavaganza with Hannah and two of her mates... I'm f*cked financially for a while because of it, but I can make it up, somehow...

Best kinds of nights out though... Just see where you end up and roll with it.

Dad and I fixed the bicycle and it's better than when I started (for now).
And today's gone quite good, considering.

Well, its not that he knows my cash flow, just that only he knows how much money I owe him, which determines my cash flow. I never knew how much I owed him because he paid off my bank loan (I don't know how much I had left to pay off) but used some of the money in my account to do so (I don't know how much I had, or how much he used).

This all happened during my thesis hand-up, my project hand-up, and my exams. Then he also paid my car insurance and had to give me additional money sometimes when I was broke during that time. I can estimate how much I owe him, but even then, I give him 500 a month out of my wages, but then he deducts money for broadband and any work he does to the car.

Come on!

So you don't know how much money you owe him? :-?

the doc:

Rayanne Graff: His name is George. Also, he started Spam.

Rayanne Graff: i spoke to him a couple of times and that was in October of 2009.

the doc: Wow, a proper old head

Rayanne Graff: Yeah, he was the 15th person to join.

satansrubberduck: I didn't directly start Spam. Also the proof of that long since disappeared.

Rayanne Graff: No, it didn't; the Spam spam spam you made in 2002 is on page 105 of the Spam board.

satansrubberduck: Oh. I looked for it years ago and couldn't find it. The colour tags are (thankfully) broken.

satansrubberduck: Odd to think it's been over a decade since I first got involved with 'Zine.

Claire: It's not odd to me since I've just had the exact same conversation with you...

I Cunt Spell: YOU'RE ALL OLD

I Cunt Spell: SO VERY VERY OLD

Captain Stupendo: SRD made an appearence holy moly haven't seen him on here for years

Maeby: JIM!

the doc: Wow, event Starws isn't here tonight

the doc: Straws ^

the doc:

the doc: *whistles*

the doc: Ah well, off I go as well then

Rayanne Graff: Sorry, Stu; i was busy tidying things. xx
