    I went to the library and there was not 1 book on machine knitting:eek:

    found a few tutorials on you tube how to knit jumpers :) so going to have a go later, but will need to save up for a sponge bar eventually

    Curry is in the slow cooker (got no rice so having chips) and i got nan bread reduced to 48p in asda

    My roof is being fixed, (he's just gone to get copper nails) looking better already, my wall needs hacking off and rendering too so the lead flashing can be pushed back and redone. had the insurance company out to fix roof and they put expanding foam in it :eek: he cannot understand why, no wonder we still had water coming in.

    Thanks Elfen....the estimate has now risen to £800 if all 4 fuel injectors are knackered and I won't find that out until they get the car on Friday.

    Still.....worse happens at sea.

    £800! Putting that in elfen perspective.....that could pay 4 of my debts off and leave me money for a night out! :O

    True Suzy, it's only money compared to your safety whilst driving (guess this could cause a crash...even though I think Citroen should carry some of the cost for letting out substandard cars)

    ETA: Gonna do my twisty rowy things.....

    Sorry about the car Suzy, if it's a common fault seems unfair you have to pay to fix it - should be them really...booo...

    Pooky, hope DH gets some wheels soon, it must be hard for you both.

    Well I'm just hoping it won't be £800 coz I don't have that sort of money just lying around. Please just keep your fingers crossed it's just the one....
