    You have shocked me! Okay for the price of the £56 coat you could buy both the F&F ones....the first for school the second for weekends....

    I'm not a big lover of brown.

    How thick am I. Had never thought of a brolly before, dont even own one. Have just been looking fo coats with hoods. Need to think out of the box dont I :D
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Grr. The problem with my car lights is that the bulbs have gone so I need to go to halfords and buy more, and hope I can fit them myself as they charge a tenner. Of course, if I could leave it a few days, since it's a motability car, I could get it done free. But it HAS to be tonight because I HAVE to take sister to Skeggy monday night. And I don't have enough money in my account, I know that's what an emergency fund's for, but mine's in the credit union. So I'm going to have to rob peter to pay paul until tomorrow when I can get to the CU and put the money back into my account.

    I REALLY hope bulbs are easy to fit.

    Ames, i have changed my bulbs in my car, the difficult bit was getting the plastic section which holds the bulbs unclipped.

    Are there no spares in the boot?

    Sometimes they're easy. Sometimes they are a nightmare. Make sure your hands are warm and supple.

  • following on from my sister setting up an Amazon wish list for her and my niece for Xmas and birthdays now they are in Canada, I thought I'd do one - it's really hard to think of what to put on it!! I've managed some fancy shower gel, chocolates, a posh le creuset dish (fantasy time with the cost!) and some garden shears with telescopic handles - and I hate gardening :confused:

    So, I decided to click on what they have recommended for me going on what I've bought/viewed in the past/what they think they know about me.

    Number 1 Amazon 'pick' for me?

    'Without Conscience: The Disturbing World of the Psychopaths among Us (Paperback)'

    No spares in the boot. My hands are never supple! Anyway, I'm going to try and change them in Halfords' car park, if I can't manage it then I'll have to pay the tenner for them to do it. Will I need screwdrivers and stuff to get the casing off?
