snow Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 I absolutely do NOT want any snow this winter especially with me having to go back and forth to Wales on my own on a regular basis - however I wouldn't mind a wee bit of frost just 1 morning this week as hubby finally put the RainX I bought LAST winter on my windscreen (yup it only took a years worth of nagging ) and I would really like to see if it does stop ice/frost sticking to the screen. All the condensation this morning did bead and run UP the screen so that bit works but I really bought it for frosty mornings as I read a lot of comments on car forums which say that whilst its not sold as a frost prevention coating it does work to stop the frost sticking to the screen so it can just be brushed off - if that works I'll be very happy.

gooster Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Car is buggered Mechanic asked if I had put petrol in it instead of diesel (I hadn't, and even if I had, it wouldn't have taken a week to break down). Looks like it is the turbo that is broken :mecry: Am now trying to decide if it is worth hiring a car for a week, so that I don't have to get mum and dad to drive me to the farm every day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houndzrus Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 My neighbour knocked at my door at 2.30 this morning. Can you believe that? 2.30am!! Luckily for her I was still up playing my bagpipes. Thanks everyone Funeral and interview both went ok. Glad they went as well as could be expected Ted Blackmagic! hope you are ok today. Hope the cat survives Suzeanna Well done Sandra's doggies Hope your knee is less hurty now Owl Shame your brother stresses you out over the festive season Griff We had a little detour on the way home from Westonbirt last night, when Keith took a wrong turn and we ended up on the M6 heading towards Birmingham. Was a long day, but it was good to meet up with everyone again Jack went offlead a lot and got a bit of speed up. He bumped his head on a post, so Keith let him wear his furry russian hat as a sort of bumper Cherry went down a hill at a rate of knots and tumbled over a molehill. She is ok, but covered in mud! Luckily, missed the cowpats My favourite pictures are these, first one Lily, bless her. Just popped up as I pressed the shutter! I also like this one, taken by Damon Cannard. I like the colours and Jack and Cherry walking offlead. RMF: It's cold outside, so why do I want salad for dinner? It does look nice though and I have a baked potato with butter to go with it. Car is buggered Sorry to hear that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantan Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Aww Gooster I am sorry about your car I love the picture of Lily That's also a smashing pic of the Simpson family We had salad for tea on what is probably the coldest day of the year to date Mind you I made buffalo wings to go with it so there was some heat in those I am playing the Annie Lennox Christmas album from last year - I luffs it.

houndzrus Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 (edited) We had salad for tea on what is probably the coldest day of the year to date ] Mind you I made buffalo wings to go with it so there was some heat in those Mine was delish too, with nice hot potato. I couldn't resist this card. Reminds me of my little duo, perhaps they're discussing their secret santa pressies?

gooster Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Love the pics Thanks guys, should have a better idea of costs etc tomorrow. Either way for the part alone it is £440 + VAT as well as fitting etc Mechanic said he'd never known a turbo go on my type of car, especially after only 48k miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzeanna Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Thanks for the thought Owl...we got over there this evening (OH isn't well, so won't be going to bed at stupid o clock to get up early for work tomorrow) and Tia actually seemed much brighter, she certainly put up more of a fight when I tried to get her tablet down, and I have the holes in my thumb to prove it! Alex, I don't know how you put up with your dogs messing so much, you must have the patience of a saint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacobean Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Evening Pleased Tia is feeling better. Hope it continues Sorry Timmy is still having tum problems. Hope your knee is better tomorrow Phebe Lovely pics Marge Hope Capn's head is ok Julia Pleased your mum is feeling confident to go out Snow. Hope the Chemo goes better for her this week Blackmagic I'm so sorry that happened to you and am so pleased you're both ok. Must have been one hell of a shock Sorry the car is pooped Gooster Dad has just phoned to advise me his operation that was supposed to be this Friday, has been cancelled until 5th January. Everything was getting to me yesterday and I'm absolutely shattered. It was great timing really that we went to see Kasabian again last night in Liverpool. Once again they were absolutely amazing. I've never known audiences like theirs and we were well rewarded. Boy can they play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzeanna Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 I'm having trouble with my concentration at the moment..apparently yet another effect of my tablets :rolleyes:so unless I keep reading back I know I'll forget something or someone so for knackered cars, dodgy knees, poorly relatives, sick dogs and anything else I may have forgotten! The snow seems to be bypassing us, thank heavens, but it's not far away..let's hope it stays away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
