He claims it is for a client!

Client my arse, where are his priorities fgs, I have given him 2 children had my stomach slashed and my nethers stitched and what thanks do I get?

Do you think divorce is too harsh or just separate for a while?

TIA

tutter -now that's nice is he single?

AttilaTheMeerkat · 25/06/2007 13:55

Nah not a Merc, you wanna BMW 6 series instead!!. Now there's a car!.

muppetgirl · 25/06/2007 13:55

Mind you, my brother did get an entire bathroom (bath, sink, toilet) in the back of the ML truck that I have. Once the seats are flat there is sooo much space but as the seats are always up nothing less than the tardis seems to be able to get us all + our crap in!

2 cellos and a fench horn in a Micra? Tres impressive!

muppetgirl · 25/06/2007 13:50

Saying that i did get 2 full sized cello's (in hard cases -rather like 2 coffins) a french horn and three adults in my little nissan micra.

take it for a joy ride whenever you like just dont get chased by coppers

LIZS · 25/06/2007 13:46

lol , I've also got one outside atm . It was supposed to be my runabout but instead ferries dh to and from the station

muppetgirl · 25/06/2007 13:44

3 buggies in the back + a cello?!?!
Sounds ieal to me. When i was little we had a fiat 127 (VVVVVVV tiny) and could only just get my 3/4 sized cello in that.....oh the memories

IntergalacticWalrus · 25/06/2007 13:41

It's the "compavt" estate that Voilvo do.

It's great because I can fit 3 buggies in the bcak (no room to keep them in the house) and my cello plus the children and DP

muppetgirl · 25/06/2007 13:41

Also, need brakes fixing, 4 new tyres and has just gone in for an estimate after I hit the gate at nursery and the dh promptly (but v. slowly) drove into another parked car -also a mercedes!

muppetgirl · 25/06/2007 13:39

I do have a mercedes (sorry girls) totally by accident as my brother emigrated to canda.
It's big truck and i won;t be able to get the big dog/small dog ds1 + bump (when he arrives) and pram and all stuff needed for an outing longer than 2 days. We already bought the top box....
I think we need a van :0

Silver cars rock.

I have a silver Volvo V40, and I love it. It was even worth the BJ!

It's also a damn sight better than the old banger I used to drive round in

Twiglett · 25/06/2007 13:30

what is his reason for NOT letting you have it Olive?

Twiglett · 25/06/2007 13:30

we were at a car showroom with our children this weekend

DS (6) said to a 2-seater roof down number "Can we have that one mummy"

"No dear mummy had to give up open top sports cars when you came along "

now THAT'S rubbing salt in the wound

silver

it is HUGE in the back

we had a Volvo thing when we went to Wales the other week and that was twice as long but didn't have any room for the girls in the back

My dad has just got a brand new E class. He took the children out in it last wek, put a blanket down on the back seat before we put the carseats in, made them tke of their shoes before we got in , checked their hands were clean and were given strict instructions not to touch anything.

Mind you he has seen the state of the inside of my car, so I'm not surprised he was a little worried

nomdeplume · 25/06/2007 13:27
