The number one family car!
April 6, 2009
We have purchased a vehicle!
It is green (the colour, and not the eco-friendly variety) and swish, with a full service history and one previous owner who worked for Ford and didn’t do much actual driving apparently. I think it’s nice. Never had a car before – so it sort of seems like a Big Deal. (OK? I have eased gracefully – I jest! – into motherhood even though that would be totally worthy of Freaking Out A Lot – but purchasing a car? Seems even more scary grown up.)
I like it. I am not sure about the car-things one is supposed to ask about, but, it does 123 miles per hour and has some gears and a CD player which you can control from the steering wheel.
I did some wheeling and dealing and got £500 off. AND he made me a cup of tea in the showroom, even though my dad said that you should Never Accept a cup of tea in the showroom because that gives them the upper hand! I would attribute my wheeling and dealing success to breastfeeding a wriggly baby whilst negotiating, but ACTUALLY, I know all about this car purchasing malarkey and that they basically expect you to pay £500 under the asking price if you’re paying cash. So, there.

! Please learn to drive!! Do it!
(Yes, it sort of defeats a lot of my “Devon is great let’s move to Devon it’s just so pretty and Great” argument if we can’t get out of Exeter!!)
