OOh nearly there! Dumped a bag at the charity shop yesterday and threw out some (probably) odd socks.

Advice for young car owners I think the best gift you can give him is to get someone to show him how to check the
1. tyre pressure - don't need to buy a pencil gauge or pump, use garage ones.
2. oil, and how to refill carefully with the right oil, explain the risks of driving without enough oil (worst case cracked cylinder head, bye bye car)
3. water and coolant/antifreeze and the risks of taking the lid off when its hot!
4. Tyre tread depth, to avoid getting fined, and keep safe.

Sorry, not quite the answer to your Q, but everyone else answered that so comprehensively.

I'm helping DS15yo with his AS maths - what a step up from GCSE :eek: I'm having to resort to the internet to keep one step ahead of him I'm considering retaking my A-level maths to see if I can up my grade :T

If you need a hand you only have to yell. Sometimes the explanations on the internet are confusing, i use it to find stuff too and often they miss out steps and assume you know more than you do. Re taking your A level would be great:T What did you get last time?

Feel free... *wail* it is better than being neglected lol

ETA - piggers - can't you farm the children out for a day and run away to have a bit of 'me time' with the flyladies?

Who in their right mind would want them?! Might have to sort one for a day KH has them though..

AF came this morning and I feel so much better now. I'm feeling much more like my normal self - on the higher dose I felt I was above myself looking down iykwim, but now I'm a lot more aware of what's going on. Do I sound weird? Hope not!

Hubby is exactly the same when his meds are too high.

Morning everyone, not sure what to do today as it looks like it might rain but i'd love to get a bit done in the garden.
Kids out already and Rhys is giving off already.
Cuppa then make a move.
