1966 Mini

Nope, not a figurine. I won a car. An actual car! A 1966 Vintage Mini.


This prize has actually turned out to be a huge amount of hassle, and the company I won it from ending up having to buy it back off me. I'm not going to go into detail or name any names because I think many of the faults with the car were due to the garage who were supposed to have done the car up cutting corners, unbeknownst to the company who I was actually dealing with (and they're quite a big company) but overall it's been quite a headache getting everything sorted, and everyone involved was dragging their feet. Eventually I got an offer for £4500 to take it off my hands, and after another month of waiting we finally got the piece of paper today saying we no longer own it which is a huge relief. Still, I can't complain though, because it's £4500 I wouldn't have had otherwise, and a bit of stress is worth what is going to be a huge help in life.

Value: £4500
2014 Total: £9542.66


Top from Goddiva

I should stop trying to photograph clothes, it never goes well.

Anyway this pretty top came from Goddiva. It arrived super quickly and it looks nice although I have to admit it has a bit of a 'cheap' feel to it so I'm not sure I would ever buy from them myself.

Value: £22
