I thought this was supposed to be fun


Is a concept that I am beginning to wonder exists.
The need of a new motor continues but, I was led to believe that it would be fun, exciting.
Its not, or rather it was at first but it doesn't feel it anymore.
I have chosen my car (or rather the car I wish to purchase) that's were the fun ended and the stress started. I have a budget based on the fact that I have a mortgage and bills to pay and food to buy. The car budget seems to keep going up and up. It scares me, or rather the thought of borrowing that much money scares me. It feels like its spiralling out of control. I could of gone under the scrappage deal but the concept of borrowing £5000 scares the hell out of me yet my budget is now heading that way. And it still scares the hell out of me.
On top of that I keep receiving a variety of advice. Or rather advice from two separate camps, one camp saying put it in under the scrappage scheme, others saying don't put it in under the scrappage scheme. Either way when I eventually purchase my new car there will be one party going "why didn't you, you should of done this, your daft doing that, I would of done this, etc. You get the picture. The only thing that is not an option is keeping my car on the road, its old and falling apart.
If it wasn't for the fact that managing without a car isn't an option I would get rid of my present car and manage without because I am beginning to feel that its simply not worth the stress that I am putting myself under through it. Nor is it fair on my friends who hear me harping on about it morning, noon and night.
