Not gone...

Hello!
Nope, I’ve not disappeared completely… just been a bit busy!

So time for a catch-up then… well, mum and dad are away celebrating mum’s 60th birthday, she is 60 on Wednesday, and we are having a party next weekend when they get home. Nigel and I have finally got the hallway decorated, and have got the house mostly straight… though we have now been advised to get a new boiler, as the back boiler we have was apparently decommissioned 32 years ago and is not running as efficiently as it once did!! So that will be a bit of an expense… and we have decided that while we are at it, we are going to board out the loft and make two extra “rooms”. We have a massive roof space really, so we might as well make the use of the space we have, especially as we are only in a flat…
We have booked our next holiday! We are office to see Rachel, Dexter & the kids in California in July… and we can’t wait! I am looking into car hire and travel insurance at the moment, I am not sure what car to go for, although I am tempted by a hoofing great big 4x4, just because I can!!

Anyway… back to searching for insurance quotes and cars! I won’t leave it so long next time… I promise!

Don't go for a 4x4. They're really inefficient and terrible polluters!

And don't get stung on the cost - when we picked up the car in Arizona last year I was asked what insurance I wanted - at an additional cost to the car rental. Be prepared to be paying almost double what you've been quoted for the rental as it doesn't include any insurance at all. For reference, the Pontiac G6 we had last year was fab. Aside from being an auto that is...
