Hi everyone, I have only been on BM for less than a week, GREAT SITE. I have been looking at some of the threads then came to this one. Some of what I have read is 4 years old now.
What has made me sad today is “Fathers” who don’t know how to be a “dad”. Money is not everything but any financial help for a single Mum (sometimes Dad) can make a big difference to the kids and take the pressure of mum. It doesn’t take much. Communication helps. If the ex can’t afford it one week then discuss it and balance it out, there is always a way to help.
It’s the kids that count. Some guys don’t realise the long term damage they can do to their kids, their relationship with the kids and mum. What they have to realise is that the relationship never ends, even when separated or divorced. There has to be some form of relationship (not in the biblical sense) with your ex partner when kids are involved. I still fix my ex wife’s plumbing occasionally and she has been remarried for 10 years. That don’t sound right, I mean “Proper plumbing”.
What I am trying to say is, when we decide to move on, we should live and let live. LOOK AFTER THOSE KIDS and sometimes to do that you have to help out your ex. You don’t need the CSA ( COMPLETELY SENSELESS ARSE^%”S), they are complete “CRAP”. Sort it out between yourselves.
I hope things have changed since those early postings.
I could go on!
How do you do those little faces on the postings? I have just spotted how!
All the best David
wondering why the garage charge me £320 per year for a service plan ... when the service my car has just had would have only cost me £185 ... they are going to call me back with the answer to my question of .. so when will I get the cheque for the £135 I have overpaid?
No offence meant Shell, but perhaps the reason they charge you this is because it sounded a good deal and as such you never thought to actually work out how much servicing would cost?
This is how most people get stung with these service plans. They're ok if you drive a big expensive car and do lots and lots of miles, but otherwise they're generally a con.
Quite often they even include things like tyres etc. But again, if you drive a little Fiat Panda or similar and only do 10,000 miles, then over a typical three year plan you're not going to need new tyres or brake pads!
My boss paid for a tyre insurance policy and it was the biggest load of shite going. How an intelligent man could have got suckered into paying it is beyond me.
It would only pay out if you A) could prove the tyres were correctly inflated and B) you keep the wrecked tyre for inspection.
This was with Mercedes.
I got it when I changed my car last year, I did get back what had 'not been spent' under the old cars service plan, but did wonder at the time why this one was almost double the price ... ok bigger brand new car but thought nothing of it till I asked hoe much it would have cost me today.
They guy who looked at it did say I should not have been paying as much as I was & that it sounded like I had been set up for a bigger car ... Ian happened to change his car at the same time from the same garage, he did say that I would get back any excess that I had paid just as I did last year ... which will be a nice bonus after the expense of the last month with Tax & insurance for Car & Bike lol
