Vehicle Rapture

Strewth, every thing's so expensive these days. It's bad enough I live in one of the most expensive cities in the world. Every thing's just soooo expensive and it's not as if people's wages are going up to match the recession. One thing about the recession, though, is it's forcing people to get really creative with how they spend their money and start to see the real value in things. Anyway, I'm moaning about the cost of living 'cos I just found out skip hire costs are definitely not what they used to be. I'm better off building my own skip! They're so pricey to hire. But the thing is I really need a skip so I'm gonna have to cough up the money for it one way or another. Plus, I have to look for the money for my driving practice test and lessons. Thank God my dad gave me the funds for half of it. I might need to get a Saturday job to fund the rest of it though. Like skip hires, a driving practice test plus the lessons involved doesn't come cheap. If I do get a Saturday job, it'll have to be some place I enjoy. I know beggars can't be choosers what with the recession but I want to enjoy where I work. I wouldn't mind working at Lush or The Body Shop.I hope I get a good driving instructor. I wouldn't like to spend all that time following an instruction here and an instruction there from a totally obnoxious patronising instructor. Actually, scratch that, the worst thing would be if they had b.o. or bad breath. I'm one of those people who tries not to embarrass people, so I probably wouldn't tell them and then spend the whole lesson suffering in silence. Anyway, I'll cross that driving practice test when I get to it. For all I know, I might receive an instruction or two from a really hot one!

Anyway, a car in the near future means insurance so I'm gonna have to start looking at insurance groups soon. I do like Sheila's Wheels but I don't know how they compare to other insurance groups out there. Actually, come to think of it, CompareTheMarket.com comes to mind. I think they make up-to-date comparisons of the different offers insurance groups make. Not sure if they do all types or just car insurance but it's worth a pass through, I think.
