Could Your Van Double Up as A Family Car – 19. May, 2011

It’s quite interesting hearing a friend talk about his new van that he recently had just taken delivery of.

He had owned his three previous vans but had decided to look into leasing for the first time ever after it was recommended to him.

After making some enquiries, he found that there were some fantastic van leasing deals around and having his own business also meant that he could offset the rental price against the business each month as well as reclaim the VAT back too.  Making good sense, he decided to set about choosing the type of van that would suit his needs.

Having three children and a average sized family car meant it was difficult if they ever wanted to head off for the afternoon on a bike ride as they couldn’t fit all the bikes on the back of the car so a van with 5 seats plus space in the back seemed the ideal solution.

He looked around at several different van types before deciding on a Volkswagen Transporter with 2 rows of seating and plenty of storage in the back so it could also double up as a family car if needed at the weekends.  He was also able to specify how to have the back kitted out with storage to carry all the necessary tools and things for work.

The whole family are more than pleased with daddy’s new choice of van as it means they can throw all their bikes in the back and head off out for the day.

Bringing The Outdoors Indoors – 11. May, 2011

We recently decided that it was about time we spent some time and money making our conservatory more like a second lounge now that our two boys no longer need it as a playroom.

It was the perfect room for a playroom but they have now reached the age where they don’t really play with toys anymore and are more into their gadgets like their TV games consoles and their handheld games which take up hardly any room compared to the builders workbenches and wooden train track that used to be set up here there and everywhere!

When you have the sun shining through the glass roof and the doors open into the garden, it really feels like you are relaxing on holiday.

We are really not sure what colour to choose and having a cream sofa and a cream carpet any colour would go in the room.  We are stuck between red and orange and green.  We think the colour green would bring the garden into the room, particularly the orange and red in the autumn.

There are so many beautiful rugs and some lovely red cushion covers along with orange and green ones too, it really does make it much harder to try and decide on what colour scheme to go with.

At the end of the day, no matter which colour we choose, the room will certainly look a whole lot better than it does now and we look forward to spending many lazy family Sundays in it.

Choosing My New Car To Lease – 5. May, 2011

I have decided it’s now time I treated myself to a new car, and a nice one at that!

Now the children are older and know how to respect the nicer things in life, I feel I can choose a nice luxurious car that within minutes, won’t be covered in crumbs and rubbish all over the back seats.

Gone are the days of having a big estate car or a people carrier that is big enough to carry pushchairs, scooters and bikes and the back of the car big enough for two or three car seats and plenty of room so you don’t feel little feet kicking you in the back when you are driving.  It’s the time to finally choose a car that I would like to drive.

I have been looking at BMW 3 series lease deals and there are some fantastic deals at the moment and I know that I can have a much nicer car if I lease one rather than putting all my money into buying one.

You don’t have to pay a fortune each month on a BMW 3 series lease as there are so many in the range to choose from and you also get the option of adding exactly what extras you want.
