I like to enjoy the fruits of my labour. House improvements, expensive cars, holidays. The wife has just had to reign me in as I was about to buy a new car, I still might if I can talk her round😆. As the saying goes, there are no pockets in a shroud!


What are you looking at getting ? Not a T ROCK I hope 😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣…A Porsche Macan GTS,  part of the VW group right enough😁

The Audi SQ5 is very similar, the Porsche is nice but a brake service is very expensive 😰😰😰😰as is all service costs with them , the nearest dealer to me is 110 miles away .
Had an SQ5 from 2015-2018, decent car but the Porsche is on a different level. I agree servicing is very expensive nowadays for the premier marques, a bit of a rip off to be honest. I have 2 dealerships within 30 miles and  4 within 100 miles🤤

Aye the V8’s are something else! They are becoming a dying breed. I had a Mercedes C63 Coupe 4.0 V8, the sound and performance was brilliant, best car I’ve owned to date. Anyways, I think we are at risk of being told to open a new thread in the  non cleaning related section, so better sign off😉

Ibiza in May(5 star hotel of course)then 10 days in Lanzarote at the end of August(all paid for in full)....😃
I’ve got Ibiza in May too, but it’s a Stag weekend so I’ll be slumming it! Benidorm for an over 35’s football tournament in June, then family holiday to Turkey in July.


Ooh turkey 🇹🇷 in July 😰 40°! 🥵
We’ve been in July about 4 times😎 pools are nice and warm and there’s plenty of places you can take shade for a 🍺

A couple of articles have popped up this week where families on £60,000 income  are struggling to live due to high mortgage payments and the cost of living.

Shocking really. Wonder if they have a window cleaner!

60k isn't that much if it's joint income (once tax and insurance is taken out).throw in a £2k a month mortgage and a couple of kids and you'll just get by.

When I move in with the missus we ll have a combined income of £80k+ a year.no mortgage,kids flown the nest so we should have plenty of money for more holidays,taking it a bit easier and enjoying life!👍🙂

If you ever move in with the Mrs your finances will be the same as they are now apart from you’ll be saving £300 a month in rent on your flat.  :D

What’s taken you so long Daz? You’ve been putting it off for years now.

Won’t you be contributing to the household bills then? Council Tax, gas/elec, water, home insurances, home maintenance etc etc?

We're on a variable rate mortgage.  Great during lockdown when rates were almost zero.

Not so much fun now.  ;D

It's almost doubled.

Of course but I'll still be better off by at least 6k a year.

Interest rates were low for over 10 years. I just left my mortgage payment the same when they came down, and as a result paid the mortgage off a few years ago.

Nice car and nice house. Where did you buy the Porsche? I'm guessing you had to go up to Bristol?
