scatty Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 well,1st thing is bex has had to go on a speed awareness course today, how i laughed. it was the same traffic lights that has caught ady out, or should i say his dad...she has done everything possible to try and make out it was me...my 2nd is diesels, they may be boring to drive, but bex's c30 volvo, the crap eco drive version, got us up to scotland, a 50 mile drive around whilst there, back via wrexham, all on 1 tank of fuel....now i call that flippin amazing....the red light came on at uttoxeter, but still got us home....she wondered why i didnt want to take mine...altho some crackin roads up there, would have made for a spirited drive mi thinks...but i reckon id have had to make 3 fuel stops.... right, i think that covers it.....

DEEDEE Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 We also have a joint account, what my wages go in, my Dear Wife is in charge of it, pays all the Bills does all the saving and gives me £25 a week petrol money. I'm getting desperate for some tyres now so will have to go the Bank of the Wife for some cash. This system has worked perfect for the last 28 years. If its not broke don't mend it.
