We tend to call them Space Buses in England, (a form of British exaggeration I guess), but it's actaully a Nissan Serena, which is a simlar size to the Toyota Previa, Renault Espace and various others. Space is still tight for seven to be honest, but not as tight as it was in our previous one which was a Vauxhall Zafira!<BR/>Wendz - I think it comes of not ever quite having enough money, rather a lot of children and living in a rural area. (Which is slightly worrying, because one day I would like to have more money, but I'd still like to find things to write about, but don't want to struggle forever just so that I can write about such hassles!<BR/>Slimmer - Yes!

Because I don't follow most of the people who are in it (although I have probably read most of them on occasion), my preferred result would be Enidd vs Clare. My soft spot towards Clare is well documented. Having said that, I do love the Sally and Headless Chicken combination.pierre lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13406942134002449700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36173469.post-73871646146041162322007-06-03T10:43:00.000+01:002007-06-03T10:43:00.000+01:00sally, you're at your best when dealing with this ...sally, you're at your best when dealing with this kind of madness! and thanks for the plug!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36173469.post-55799965973471868542007-06-02T23:13:00.000+01:002007-06-02T23:13:00.000+01:00Weird to hear someone I've never met blogging abou...Weird to hear someone I've never met blogging about the city I live in and have been in all through this palava!<BR/><BR/>Glad to hear you got it all sorted with the DVLA nutcases :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36173469.post-75907626469462386162007-06-02T11:55:00.000+01:002007-06-02T11:55:00.000+01:00ED DRIVING?????!!!!!! i feel so old now!ED DRIVING?????!!!!!! i feel so old now!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36173469.post-77635987588791791362007-06-02T08:29:00.000+01:002007-06-02T08:29:00.000+01:00Honestly Sally,I don't know of anyone else who suf...Honestly Sally,I don't know of anyone else who suffers so much at the hands of the bureacrats.....but heaveans it makes for a good read.<BR/><BR/>You have a lot of tenacity - I'd have lost it by now and whizzed through City Hall screaming my head off!y.Wendy.yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10630727119097764058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36173469.post-78305001373645342992007-06-02T02:35:00.000+01:002007-06-02T02:35:00.000+01:00now i want to know WHAT sort of 7 person "bus" you...now i want to know WHAT sort of 7 person "bus" you have. we have a 7 seater van, and it's a tight fit and mine aren't all grown yet.<BR/>glad you got your bus all sorted in the end. hope the weekend party goes wonderfully well and the appt also :)~ejhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08461738529248708038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36173469.post-4473908468360692812007-06-01T23:07:00.000+01:002007-06-01T23:07:00.000+01:00Good to hear that you now have transport of approp...Good to hear that you now have transport of appropriate size, but you sure are unlucky with officialdom!
