    Had an exciting day today - went to get an estimate for fixing my car and the guy did it there on the spot! So, no more parcel tape on the back light a the bodywork has been bent back into shape and he didn't take a penny for it. The damaged paintwork is being resprayed next week, and it should be looking spick and span before it's MOT (which is two days after my next pay day - TF!)

    Also went to see the exhibition of Ronnie Wood's paintings in Edinburgh - anyone got a spare grand?!

    Good news on the car, but free? were you flirtin?:D

    are the paintings any good?
