    Also @66Mustang with a second hand car there is the depreciation factor and adding that in to the per mile rate could make a difference, obviously pro rata depending on the cost of the car.

    do motability give you a new car every so often?

    @leeCal You get a new car every 3 years as long as you get enhanced award and have at least a year left on the award

    @leeCal thanks, yeah the per mile cost is everything - insurance, tax, fuel, depreciation etc

    Janer is absolutely right new car every 3 years as long as you still have a year to go for your PIP. Personally I’d happily keep the car longer (if I still get PIP when my lease runs out I’ll just choose the same car again anyway) but I guess they have done their sums and decided that selling the cars on after 3 years is best.

     I am trying my own to write a medical spec drama script for television as the BBC allow you write to write an episode for Holby city, which I would love to be able to write for a fantastic television drama like  Holby city

    Well my goal is to find something fun to do today, after all it is Saturday. Perhaps a ride in the car later.
    anyone else doing anything fun today?

    Sounds good to me @l@leeCal! Did you end up going out?

    This sounds amazing @g@Globster! I bet this was really interesting. Did it give you any inspiration about what to write next? :)

    No @Chloe_Scope we didn’t go out we had household chores to do ☹️

    But on Sunday we went to a local church and had a look around for half an hour, better than nothing. ?

    Yesterday my goal was to cut my sons hair! I’ve never done it before and his hair looked really in need, so I revved up my clippers and off we went. It turned out ok ish mainly because his hair is so fine it just laid there! Flat as a pancake. Never mind, trauma for both of us over. He hasn’t been well lately so that’s why he hadn’t been to a barbers for months.

    I have decided not to my medical script because there already medical dramas on the BBC.
    But I am going to write a new television drama which had not been done yet

    Today I went to the dentist just for a check up. My teeth are all good luckily:smiley:

    You’re lucky @66Mustang I really should see one for a filling but I’ve had such bad experiences with dentists that it puts me off.

    i must bite the bullet though and see one soon, or perhaps I should stop biting bullets! Ha ha.
