Ive noticed the price of derv going up, its annoying. Really annoying. I was considering selling my car and just buying a scooter, a 125cc scooter thatd do ~100 mpg on petrol so itd be damn cheap. But I like the warmth to much.

I keep thinking about it.... but sold the 325 because I hardly ever used it... was using it maybe once a week, sometimes once a fortnight... so I dont want to spend a lot and just have it sitting there losing value....

got a lot going on at work at the moment / new machines in / more staff etc.. so hopefully I should be able to start taking it a bit easier in 6 months or so and driving a car to work instead of a van so Ill buy a decent car then.... just miss having one at the moment :o

(need to drive a van to work right now because I do deliveries/pickups on my way in/out)
