The insurance has worked itself out for now, I can't count and it runs out on the 28th of this month. Luckily didn't SORN the car so can use it if I wish to. Quite happy with that as the odd short journey to the Beach or shop will do more good than harm. I'd be open to driving an auto for a little bit but not having one in the family it's not realistic. I've found a quote of £215 for Green for next year which doesn't seem terrible although I'm still trying to get below £200. These insurance companies are foolish, they'd make far more off of me at a fair price as I'd insure 4 cars and a motorhome maybe 5 cars. I'm really impressed with the one sided handbrake on Red. We live on a steep hill and I thought I'd find it in the bush it's pointed at by now.
I'm doing ok on the Cottage fund as well, I have about 2/3 of the funds raised. I've started seeing things as fractions of a days rent which has really helped me not to buy junk I don't really need. It's still available thankfully, must be hard to find someone to live in a field up a mountain. It's in the middle of these 2 pictures.
You will find time, take it from me
