It has been awhile since I have posted anything here as real life has stopped me popping into the world of Poser.
As is often the case at the start of the new year we decided to have a look at our life in general and this was a topic of discussion at the odd breakfast we tend to have out now and the. At one such breakfast we were having a general talk on how life had changed. Some years ago we purchased a Honda CRV so that we could take both the in-laws and our dog for days out but this has changed a lot. At Christmas we took the dog crate out of the back so we could get Christmas trees in but it never went back and it was now early February. The reason was fairly obvious as, with the dog getting older he was not really into long walks but sadly the last six years have also taken their toll on the in-laws who also now struggle with long walks. It was fairly obvious that the CRV, much as I loved it, no longer fitted our life style.
When we returned home we were browsing the car dealerships and came across an ex-demonstration Toyota Aygo, well long story short, we went for a test drive that day. The trade in I was offered was only £4,000 short of what I paid for the CRV six and a half years ago so three days later we did a swap.
This all happened second week of Feb so just before petrol prices started to rocket. With the road tax being half the price and the Aygo covering roughly twice the miles per gallon of the CRV it was a lucky move and with a years Toyota Road Side Assistance we also saved a little more.
The downside was I now needed to return to eBay to sell some of the CRV stuff such as the cover and dog crate. I was pleased that they both sold but was not happy being in the position of waiting on couriers to collect and deliver the goods which they seem to fail to do on a regular basis.
