Had to take a half day from work to take my car into the garage as all my lights were playing up so was home a bit early, I cleaned all the small appliances and properly scrubbed the cooker hood. Kitchen/diner look lovely now. Am saving the filters for Friday though, really can't face that on a work night!

Garage was a shock - the mechanic spent 45 mins puzzling and checking (and warning me that it might end up being a big job) only to work out that the culprit was a dodgy bulb - charged me a whole 73p :eek: to replace it - didn't realise there were non-rip off garages around :j

Hope you're all welll today xxx

glad you think so because my mum doesn't...it's not a busy pub either but enough going on IYSWIM to give us topics of conversation (like I would ever have nothing to say;)) appreciate the vote of confidence nontheless!
