DYJHIW - your old and well worn car is not worth MOTing, so you end up borrowing some money to find a "new" (used) one. You decide in the interests of economy to go for something smaller, with a small engine, and petrol not diesel. You hunt and hunt and hunt and eventually find the right car. Hurray! Its smaller, so its in the lower tax band for engine size, and a smaller engine size means cheaper insurance! Except it doesnt. We have moved. Same postcode, but sufficiently far enough to warrant them wanting £160 off me next month to pay off the policy. Which on top of the repayments I have to start making on the car, will pretty much wipe us completely out, and effectively removes the benefit of the cheaper tax for the next two years.
You change into dry clothes after being to the gym, only to cycle home in the rain?
Edit: to be fair it did stop just after starting for home, but there were some big puddles, which meant soggy feet!

I still have the 'I've no idea what to do thoughts' I work in the Financial Services & love it, but I've just had enough of it all, the regulation, bad press etc, etc, I'd like to work in travel, I love research hols, love cust services etc, but when I looked recently for jobs in travel the pay was considerably less than I'm used to & I wonder if 'net is really the way forward, mmmmmmmmmm
What type of things do you enjoy, talking to people, sales, helping people, admin, what do you do now?
I worked in travel for 10 years, the life is great when you're single but no good for combining with family life. The pay is diabolical and don't even get me started on customers' expectations and their lack of basic manners!!!!!!
Is the money better in Business Travel? Lots of Travel Management Companies out there who are always looking for good customer service/sales people and the added bonmus is that generally you deal with Travel Managers and Directors, who seem to be the nicest lot to me
Maybe not as many perks as working for a high street travel agency though......
