    drum roll please!

    For the first time in 22+years of marriage we have a car outside our house that one of us owns....DS has finally managed to sort out insurance, tax etc on the car and has put fuel in it (last lot went more on the drive)!

    Fellow flyladies can I ask for your help - DS will need some stuff for the car...but I don't know what (non-driver here) - tyre pressure gauge and pump come to mind....can anyone add to my list of things he needs?

    Many thanks for that...:beer:

    Morning all

    We have sun and beautiful blue skies. DS3 didn't sleep too bad and doesn't appear to be in too much pain this morning.

    lol, sounds right up my street:D Just wait until it is in more than 3 dimensions!
    :eek: OMG their is a 4th dimension - how does that happen (it is in the world of lost confused smilies isn't it)

    I'm helping DS15yo with his AS maths - what a step up from GCSE :eek:
    :eek: Don't tell me that, I can't cope already and he is doing Maths at AS next year. I've already approached a tutor, I'll stick to reading the English Lit work with the odd bit of History and Geog thrown in.

    JoJo - your post was hillarious - nice of her to leave you £22.80 as a tip :D


    Plan:
    [STRIKE]Put Washing on the line
    Reload WM
    15 minutes kitchen rescue
    DS2 to strip his bed[/STRIKE]
    Hoover and dust DS2 room
    Get out clean linen for DS2
    Deal with the pile of potential carboot stuff on the landing
    clean DS1's window and frame

    DS2 has orthodentist checkup later
    Need to ring hospital as I don't have an appointment for Monday for DS3 yet

    Hoping to get an hour in the garden late afternoon to finish off the back garden jobs.

    type insurance letter
    Fill in fashion show form
    parcel to post office (delegate to DS1)
    hand deliver two letters (delegate to DS2)
    sort and deliver some seeds.

    Piggers - good luck at the hospital today (not sure who has an appointment)

    Diva hope you are feeling a bit better and can go home soon

    Congratulations

    Jump leads
    ice scrapper

    are the most important
    then:
    change for carparks
    paper and pen
    insurance document (copy of) - DO NOT KEEP LOG BOOK IN THE CAR

    in europe:
    emergency triangle
    bright jacket
    replacement bulbs
    GB sticker

    tyre gauage and foot pump - lots of people just use the free ones at supermarkets.

    HTH - sweets are a must too;)
