Is it snowing in Norfolk then?

millimat · 04/04/2012 09:21

Any snow may have forced them to seek refuge elsewhere...

LadyBabsWalthamCuddles · 04/04/2012 09:08

Oh no, I'm worried now.

Are they home yet?

Jackin · 04/04/2012 06:10

I'm 36 for a start, the car I'm insuring is landy that I use for work but I only do about 5000 miles a year in. And it's 3 yrs older than your DH :) Still I've just bought a lovely volvo s40 from 2003. And that is costing me £450 a year.
If you want big cars you're gonna have to pay for them :(

jackin you insurance is £250 a year??? Envy we used gocompare/confused/compare the market, rang several who aren't on price comparison but its pretty fruitless, dp has No NCD and he's 25, been driving about 2yrs. And we have a big car. We have insurance though so I've been lovingly stroking the car and begged him to take us out!! If yours is that a year your never believe what ours is a month!

maria we'll get one made up for you Wink

nobut they are still there!!!

The car wasn't there when we got in but its been a few days so they're probably out for supplies.

I haven't been back to this thread in a while.....tell me they are not still there??

Jackin · 03/04/2012 17:51

Well done Maria I dare say one is on its way!

MariaCallous · 03/04/2012 14:56

I feel a huge sense of achievement! Found this last night and reached the end! Not looked at the pics yet. Then again I've ignored two children and a day at work. Do I get a "I conquered the mammoth jizzcar thread" badge?

BareBums · 03/04/2012 13:39

Agree with shopping around. DH was quoted 3k for his insurance but after digging about he got a deal for £800.

Jackin · 03/04/2012 10:57

Shop around, admiral wanted 500 but got it for 250 with carol nash.

ovaltine if thats the case they can do what ever they want in mine, seriously i'll even leave the kids dvd players in,

ivanta I really wish i had the guts to do that, and whilst my Mum and brother and sister were here so it was full to the brim! Grin

I think you should all get into your car, and park next to them and introduce yourself as the new neighbours.

ovaltine · 03/04/2012 08:54

ah maybe they not living there, they have been employed as security for the car so they can afford the insurance. That mum is a genius. "where do you keep yr car overnight? On drive but with 2 full time security guards in it..."

TrinityRhino · 03/04/2012 08:53

Three weeks!!! Bloody hell Grin

bagelmonkey · 03/04/2012 08:30

Maybe they're living in the car because home insurance is cheaper than car insurance?

rabid we can no longer post, however im not sure if the limits the same in classics, i'll find out, if it is i will start a new thread and link it here when we reach 950ish.

they're still in there this evening, not alot happening, what i want to know is how the fuck they can afford insurance, ive just got a quote for ours and it is disgraceful, that disgraceful we are considering leaving the car at my mums house which would be a complete pita but half the price!

GravyAndALumpyMashBaby · 02/04/2012 21:48

jackin the only deckchairs i have are very small barbie and buzz lightyear ones, whilst it would be amusing to watch OB and G attempt to sit in them the dcs would be pissed.

state, you deserve a medal for answering my sleep deprived ramblings. Thank you x x

Jackin · 02/04/2012 16:07

Amazing! they'll need deck chairs. state if you have some old ones give them to them, so they'll sit outside and make for easier viewing.
