One really good thing is it's economical and it can do a 430-mile journey in just over a tank of petrol.:beer:

Depends how big the tank is .... mine does more than that - can't remember how much as I've not been monitoring it, but 600 or so I think. When I fill it up, it thinks it'll do 800, but I know it's lying.

Hey .... hang on there old bean ... I drink cheap cider ... and that implies I am of the chav underclass!

I meant probably more McD's and Stella. If it were added in a way that provided a cumulative effect, then ongoing, that'd work so even posh people could go to McD's 1-2x a year if they really insisted on it.

McD's is an 'I am on my way home from work at 5am and can't be arsed to cook' food (I'll be going in a minute).

Also a very good cabbies food.

I filled mine up yesterday having just come off the North Circular (so about 60mph constant), and it reckoned that there was about 1100 miles in there.

If a tank of diesel really did do a week, I wouldn't be moaning (I've got a 70l tank, for anyone that's interested)

It'll be wet then. If I wash it tonight and pin it up, then in the morning I just have to straighten it... if I wash it I can't straighten it. I have no hairdrier ( I rarely use them, I'm useless with them, the one I've got is in storage). I always dry my hair naturally.

I would say, I'll only have to do this 2-3x tops this week..... next week I'll not be bothering to straighten it and can wash it in the morning and it'll dry with the car window open and the blowers on

I'm dead common like that.

Mine has just been wash ed. it will still be damo in the morning . If I washed it in the morning it would still be damp in the afternoon.

I love my hair, but getting ready for special events is annoying as it then obviously gets styled from wet before hand, which means I need the afternoon to get hair ready, takes hours to diffuse dry.

I made the assumption that 20 minutes with a hair dryer on freshly washed hair can do all that is needed!

Reminds OH (yet again) that I really do get ready to go out very quickly for a female.

OHs birthday today, managed to get him some clothes from Next - feeling I've been really unimaginative. He has work things that will mean he is out tomorrow and weds night, so doesn't feel like he needs to go out tonight. Don't know what else to do.

I am still 'suffering' bits of drama that seem to be eating up my 'spare' time (ie my hanging about on / posting time ) including our neighbour suddenly dieing last week. She had got to 93 and was very spry. Felt a bit unwell and then 2 days later dies.

Sad when it happens, but that really is the way to go.

Shocking guide price on it though...I thought there was a crash....and it's a 'modernisation/quick sale price too.

Clearly someone was planning for the inevitable. House on the market within a week is quick moving.

Oh no, twenty mins would barely have mine started. Has to be diffussed on low, best to do it small areas at a time but I never bothe now I am not trying to get it into an Afro. My hair pulled straight is just below my elbows but if I blow dried it ' properly' it can bounce up to shoulder length. Leaving to dry naturally for a less tight p curl it is ( I think) just about bra strap length ATM.

The other thing with curly hair is the crucial post shower minutes wher you need to get product on super quick before it has time frizz ( I think of it as sealing it from the impact of air:o

Temptation for 'special' events is to put too much product on to prevent frizz but instead makes hair look like greasy hair badly permed. .
