    I do seem to be full of the joys of Spring :T

    I'll send it back mid week as I need to get some work done in the study first :rotfl:

    Isn't it glorious to see blue sky and the strange bright shiny thing in the sky. It makes such a difference to how I feel and I remember posting December or January that I was finding the dark mornings and evenings hard going. I have a real spring in my step again now and feel much happier.

    Have a good day, Tilly

    I totally agree about the weather. Just got to finish packing eb@y sales then look for some car shampoo... If I can't find any is there anything else I can use? It'll be so nice to have a clean car-I don't drive it much and only have to refuel every couple of months.. :D

  • Hi TC, I always used to use a small amount of washing up liquid in warm water to clean the cars, but I know Mr T doesn't like doing that.

    I am useless at anything car related, so apologies for not being much help :o

    The sun is still out though :j

    Hi McI, I hope something in it is helpful, I know I tend to waffle on about stuff, but the daily posting has kept our focus :):)
