    Mine is due its MOT in a couple of weeks (last year cost me a fortune! In region of 1200).

    Has anyone tried the council testing ones?

    I was thinking of switching from my normal garage as OH always follows the mechanic around thinking he's going to rip me off. Thankfully OH is a former BMW mechanic.
    Ive tried em sophie, and they are fine. There's no profit in them for it though so there shouldnt be any scams. Look at this http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/travel/cheap-mot

    Hmmm.

    Back to the exam thing. deferring will cost me £200ish which is more than a resit would cost me plus if I defer the system changes and I'd have to sit 5 papers instead of four, albeit I can spread them out.

    If I think tactically I can probably get enough done to pass 2 of the 3 (and have a good punt at the third) which would bring resit charges down to £100 ish and I'd have less study to do while managing the demads of a sproglet...

    Whaddya reckon peeps??

    If i understood that i would say it seems like a good idea but I think even if you had to pay £200, what price for your sanity at the moment?

    and by then, you can spend the family allowance!!

    Does the library open on Saturdays? I haven't been to one since I was at school. I doubt I have a library card either, plus I'd probably take it back late and get charged!!!! I did that at Blockbusters so stopped going there!!

    'Tis a good idea thou.......

    Unless anyone has a copy they would like to swap??? I have tons of books in the loft which aren't doing anything......we could start a MSE book club! :rolleyes:

    I'm pretty sure I've got a copy you can have - will just have to check this evening but am 99% sure I've still got it at home.

    Well its not that best subject in the world to talk about and I dont want to upset you swwet innocent young ladies but recently I have noticed a dramatic increase in both the volume, fragrance and frequecny in my fruitsome and flappy woof woofs (can anyone tell me where that is from?). I am having 2lb poos, quite soft in texture that take at least 5 toilet rolls to wiple clean, the toilet is forever getting blocked and Im getting tired of sticking my had down the toilet to unblock it (and I thought I was getting the tan from sticking my arm out of the window). My typical daily food intake consists of bran flakes with some oat crunch and a bannana with full fat milk, 2 slices of toast, fruit juice and a coffee/tea. I dont have much for lunch, maybe a cup of tea and a packet of snack a jacks, for tea I will have say chicken and chips one night and a spag bol the next. On the evening I will have a cup of tea and maybe a bottle of beer. Is this normal??

    :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

    What the fook??????
    TOO MUCH INFO Lenny.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    I be confused - deferring a good idea or going for it:confused:

    I think if I have in my head that I am going to study tactically rather than cram it all I would be calmer and more in control with the whole thing IYSWIM.

    And there's also the outside chance I'll pass them all (because I have a lot of general knowledge of the broader areas from previous exams) and get a bonus from work:rolleyes:
