Dilemma

After hubby's taken my suggestion to put up an advertisment online, he's finally closed the deal to the sale of his Audi A6 today. I was just chatting about it with Janice, Jerome's mom, over coffee this morning and then I came home in the evening, to this piece of good news(good as he's been talking, thinking and talking about selling it for the past 1 year!) but it also leaves me in a state of dilemma.

2 years ago, due to the need of convenience when it comes to ferrying Renee to and from school, we've acquired an additional car. Now that Renee is older and is able to take the longer distance walk, the thought of doing away with my car had crossed my mind a few times. To be honest, this 2nd car is alittle under-used but for the times that I need to run errands and/or buy groceries/stuffs, it had come in really handy, especially since I always have to bring Renee along(what else can I do? lolz). On the other hand, as most of you would have known, I'm not exactly 'route minder' and thus, many a times, when I'm 'forced' to travel to a 'new' place, I secretly wished(many times) that I do not drive at all! So now, with the sale of hubby's car, we're considering if we should get another and for the last reason I've cited earlier, I seriously do not mind at all, whether I have the car. The only down point would be when it comes to rainy days and the difficulty of hailing a taxi from our place(we have to walk out and thus will be caught in the rain and as most taxis prefer to go to the city, there're not many taxis that come to this area so it's quite hard).

After a brief discussion and especially without any good valued vehicles on sale at the moment, we've decided to do with just one car for now(can save money too! heee) and see how it works for us, :).
