I have just purchased a doggy bag for the lovely Penny.


Siobhán if its not screen covers its doggy bags. I saw them at Birmingham last year and was very tempted to buy. They obviously impressed you?

Not sure if they impressed me or the dirt of Penny in the MH!
She was really wet and muddy when we were heading home on Sunday so she had to have a shower! I then had to clean inside the MH after the mucky puppy. :devil:

LEDs are a good buy and are easy on juice. I'm thinking of getting some of the led background lighting fitted.

I'm often envious of my UK neighbours cheaper cars, motorhomes, free UK shipping from Amazon etc but one thing we get a break on is Motorhome Motortax. Tax for a Motorcaravan in the ROI is €102 if it was based on the same system as our cars mine would be €1,391 :sick: and I would not own a motorhome!

As far as I remember it's about 180 for the years tax on the motorhome which is cheaper than my car.

Here in Spain my Mh = €65, my cars are €165 each, much cheaper I think than UK or ROI? :D

It's the ghosts in the machine :lol:

Here in The Gambia I don't think they have either road tax or mot, as some of the taxis are held together with gaffer tape, and the driving scares even me to death

Mh and 1 car bought in Spain. 1 car is a Jeep which we drove from UK and keep as a "run about" or for visitors. Jeep was re-registered in Spain shortly after our arrival 10 years ago

We were meant to come here 4 years ago but I ended up getting emergency surgery and lost out as we hadn't took out holiday insurance. I was reluctant to come as it was tempting fate again but now I'm here I don't want to come home it's such a fantastic experience.

As this is to celebrate a birthday, anniversary and valentines, I have to say you are too late shiv I'm spoken for :lol: get that man of yours to spoil you

Had to replace my Alpine Camera on the Motorhome at the week end at the cost of £190 for the camera alone. Almost got a heart attack and ended up in Antrim Area Hospital.

Brooms they certainly make a vast difference in the actual lighting but also on the usage from the battery.
