Damn right.....

It's Friday

He's never here, he's always round @Tiggie getting him up off the floor

I give ours a bit of a spray and wipe with what ever I reach first in the cupboard

Welcome

Welcome

Welcome

Or sunshine

Nothing wrong with any of those, as for landlord been there done that glad I'm not anymore and it's only getting worse. I know a couple who were almost wiped out by a tennant that went from fine to destroying the place, they got it back eventually but it needed gutting and cost them a fortune, land lord insurance turned out to be not worth the email it was attached to, took months to get eviction sorted, every excuse was used, from not safe to live on, mental health, pregnancy you name it, she had legal aid and of course it was dragged out as long as possible, the risks contrary to what most believe is substantial.

Been a few instances of odd things specific with dacia parts wise but for the value and what you get they are great, I know a few who have them and not heard a bad thing and they not Chinese so all good, I would certainly have a 4x4 one

If you don't have 2 separate car insurance policies with NCD on both your going to have to find a company that will grant you some free NCD or your starting another policy from scratch. If it's a car that your attached too that's fine but if your expecting the mini to appreciate in value you may have a long wait, it will fluctuate in summer being a convertible. If it's going to be a 2nd use car it's going to incur all of the costs another car comes with.

Sell it, insurance, repairs, tax bla bla bla spend the time on the bike.....

Guess who won axe throwing....

It wasn't a planned job, it was this is broke fix it, freeze spray does work ,not so good on 25mm mdp though, probably be a freeze machine job and I would have had to dig a hole to do it, at which point I could have just used a pipe clamp.

Morning campers

I don't know if there are going to be enough hours in the day when I retire

Watch it's slippy out there, just saying

I'm not overly enamored with 2025 so far 7am, discover van has flat battery, it's under warranty so call nissan on the off chance I get a new battery RAC jumpstart after several hours and 6million texts, god the auto system is mental. No new battery from home start. Next up simple job, frozen tap nackerd with frost, ohh it's outside next to a wall and close to the ground and I can't isolate it and I can't get a pipe clamp on not enough pipe coming out of ground, that's ok it's frozen, except it's not it's just knackered, so remove alkathene tap spend 10min trying to pick off gripper ring and fittings without damaging pipe then fit new tap all the while with full bore water shower going every direction, fingers passed pain and numb to not actually working as fingers anymore. Get sorted completely soaked get a call from my dad, my sister boiler off and she's away and it's freezing, what you done, nothing he says, are you sure, yes, off to sisters, not out of my way at all ( extremely out of my way), cover off pressure tester on hmm, did you turn the gas off to the boiler, err no I topped water up but she didn't know if it was blue or green valve, well it's not the big yellow one..... I miss 2024. Is it Christmas yet.

Errr mine applied 2.7 amps max current, there's a big difference between a normal charger and a modern one filled with electronics,. Like I said they do a 5amp max one for anyone concerned about too much charge and it not detecting the amount required. Mine can be reduced to 30% of it's max rating if you want to fire up the app and change settings, it also has an advanced bit where many things I don't understand can be changed

I heard an add for have you been miss sold a caravan the other day, they could be busy. People go into these things often blinded by a lifestyle without looking into it properly and those are salesman's dream.

Good luck, we could just about do it now but holidays would take a huge hit but it is on the cards, we have a timescale and the end is in sight.

Welcome, CBT and see how you get on, that will get you hooked or scare you off

I get it but the clock is ticking and you can't spend it when your errr dead. I wish I had planned for retirement earlier, I would be finished by now
