“Green” tax – just an excuse?

I have no idea what the government is thinking with the proposed "green" tax on new car sales.

Personally I don't think that it makes sense.

It looks like the government is just trying to appease a few activists with this tax.   Or, and probably closer to the truth, adding just another tax for the few to support the many.  Your guess is as good as mine.

Why tax new vehicles?

Mazda 5 – My first impressions

Buying a car is expensive nowadays, and I did a lot of homework before deciding on the Mazda 5. My reason for deciding on it was that it had the most space in the third row of seats out of all the MPVs I tested, but was still small enough for my wife to drive, seeing that she's moving up from a Peugeot 206.

I've had the car for a few weeks now, and overall I'm loving it.  There is plenty of space, with two baby seats in the middle row, an 8 year old in the back row, and multitudes of bags and prams in the boot.  Ok, half the boot, seeing the back row of seats fold flat to create the boot, so we have one up and one down to fit the whole family.

2010 – My goals

My idea for 2009 was to have no new year's resolutions, just a keyword for the year, #create.  That didn't work out too well, I can think of countless excuses, one being the birth of my daughter in Jan, which played havoc with the amount of free time I thought I may have.  But the reality is that without clear goals, you'll never accomplish much.  So for 2010 I 've decided to set clear goals, and make them public, so that I don't have any excuses to back down on any of them.

Another daughter

I have no excuse for publishing this post so late, other than the fact that I've started new employment in November, and have a 10 month old daughter, that demands some attention every now and then. We've been busy, and when I've had the time to post, I've been lazy, but here it is now.
