    I've tidied floors, hoovered LR floor,and emptied bins. Stopped hoovering as was getting too hot and so tired couldn't focus very well. I hope they come soon, I might go back to bed after that.

    Car things: as a 26 year old, i find the things i need most of all are jump leads (and the knowledge of how to use them), a first aid kit (imagine seeing an accident where someone is hurt and you can't do anything to help them - if you have a first aid kit you may save their life), and a road atlas - don't keep it in the boot either! When you are lost and annoyed at being lost, the last thing you want to do is stop the car and go look in the boot!

    Ia first aid kit (imagine seeing an accident where someone is hurt and you can't do anything to help them - if you have a first aid kit you may save their life),
    To be fair, most first aid kits don't have life-saving equipment in them (generally dressings, plasters etc) and those that do require a knowledge of first aid and the techniques you should use otherwise you risk making things worse. If you DO see an accident and are first on the scene, the best thing you can do is to call 999 and follow any instructions they give you. Even doctors and paramedics sometimes need the fire service in attendance (kazm is probably aware of the instructions that were given out to those attending emergencies during the last fire brigate strike, and they weren't pleasant) in order to be able to provide medical assistance.

    So maybe a car charger for a mobile phone would be a good idea?
