Over the weekend had a look at a M/H - Mercedes Sprinter - took our mechanic to look at it - he said looked good - so I had until yesterday to make up my mind. I don't know how many times I went to pick up the phone to say yay or nay but in the end it was a yay. So I will pick it up next week. All the butterflies, apprehension etc. etc. came into it but it is done and dusted now. I actually didn't think it was going to happen for a while yet but here I am an owner of a M/H (oh! well nearly)!!!
Congratulations Nelly, Well done girl. Nothing like taking that big step to create the butterflies. Beautiful little things butterflies. Hey we will be able to in the gutter together in style now!!!!!! Looking forward to seeing the pics and then seeing you out here on the road with us all.
