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

No, divorce isn't too harsh in this situ I think.

Get thee to a solicitors.

AngharadGoldenhand · 25/06/2007 13:13

Separate and take the car.

oliveoil · 25/06/2007 13:13

I think you are right.

He took it for a test drive this weekend and let me sit in the passenger seat, rubbing my nose in its beauty

he is a heartless b@st@rd

So Lord, won?t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?

I feel your pain.

I had to give DP a blow hjob (I know, I know) to get the car I currently have.

And it's only a Volvo

Just think how upset you would be when you prang the mercedes in Tesco's carpark. That's the problem with nice cars-they don't look so nice after a bash!

Twiglett · 25/06/2007 13:17

IntergalacticWalrus · 25/06/2007 13:18

yes, I have got lots of stuff out of DP that way (on pun inteneded)

It's not demeaning, it's empowering

especially when there's a nice shiny car at stake

Twiglett · 25/06/2007 13:19

feckin stupid arsey new link style .. why'd they have to go and change anything huh

this one is worth separating for

nomdeplume · 25/06/2007 13:20

if it's an older style a-class like the one inyour link then they are SHITE. They handle terribly and ime feel really unstable to drive.

oliveoil · 25/06/2007 13:20

is that a 2 seater twig?

do they do car seats that blu tack onto the boot?

no I want my ickle merc, I am easily pleased, I may tell him that other people would want a sports car and he should be grateful

OP posts:
IntergalacticWalrus · 25/06/2007 13:20

Now that's nice twig.

oliveoil · 25/06/2007 13:21

OP posts:
nomdeplume · 25/06/2007 13:23

what colour is it ?

ComeOVeneer · 25/06/2007 13:28

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

oliveoil · 25/06/2007 13:29

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

OP posts:
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

Twiglett · 25/06/2007 13:30

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