Morning all

We have to buy 4 new tyres for the car, will be close to £200, but they're only just legal and I'm dreading icy roads, so will have to pare down the budget the next couple of weeks.

A xo

O..o..o.... just read an articule on tyre's...... they are now going to be rated like washer's 'en other stuff, the 2 I can remember are how much fuel it will save/use and if it better for wet/dry condition's so you match the tyre's to the most common weather you get. Hope I'v explaned it well:o



And happy new thread everyone.

And have a nice wedding stiltwalker

I'm going north for a few days next week -staying at Plockton but will be visiting Skye and Applecross Inn for lunch. Beautiful country.
My fav campsite around Fort William Fuddle is Red Squirrel - it's really cheap, usually full of bikers who always have a fantastic time and are great at keeping the kids entertained, and there's a great pub just along the road.

Morning everyone, love the shiney new thread.:j
I got back home at tea time last night and just unloaded the storecupboard shopping from the car and dumped it in the back room. Was too shattered to put it away so it is still there. think i will need to rearrange the apocalypse cupboard to find space for it all. OH made some teasing comments about it all but we sat down a few weeks ago and I explained that my job could cut my work at any time (zero hour contract as a support worker, if my client has an accident or just decided she doesn't want me I haven't any work).
OH has invited a friend and his girlfriend to stay tonight as there is a bonfire party we are all going too. I'm annnoyed as the house is a filthy mess and he doesn't seem to understand that i'm embarressed about it. There is no way that I can clean it all myself before this afternoon. Think I'll just swish the bathroom and run the hoover round and that will have to do.
The important things to do are walk pooches and clean out a fish tank.

Fuddle re wellies. The way we always clean the kids rubber riding boots for shows is as follows: Hose boots down, wash in a bucket of warm water with a dollop of horse or dog shampoo added to get rid of horse grease (you prob won't need to do this), buff dry with an old towel then a spray of furniture polish and buff to shine! Very MSE!

Sorry bit of a rant ex just turned up to give the boys a magazine and he's bought a cbeebies one for ds8 what planet does he live on .

thanks. I tried the olive oil last night and it didn't really do anything for them. Off I go to wash the olive oil off in dog shampoo and then pledge 'em (I wish, tesco value 30oddp stuff )

In my grandma's day did they use a polishing solution, or just a feather duster?
