That is more worrying now, could be a whole new problem..

You mean that I have worried you that it is not just a new battery that you need? Sorry! I was just expressing some surprise.

I hope it's just the battery but the last car needed a new alternator, exhaust etc. I've just bought this one and spent a significant amount more

Batteries go. They seem to e better than they used to be, or maybe my cars just are!

Miss I, have you been doing more shorter runs recently?

So glad that you made it home and you are now going to enjoy your pasta and cheese.

I think that when you call the nice garage man he will replace the old 'naffed battery with another reliable one at little cost to him because he will have given you a three months guarantee on your car or at least I hope so.

Enjoy the rest of your evening and go to bed thinking positive.;)

i know things go, just wondering if a quick phone call would help me offset the cost.

Ah ... that reminded me - I started making pasta half an hour ago. Got lazy so chucked a load in a measuring jug, covered in boiling water, put a plate on top .... it's nearly cooked... so I'm just refreshing the boiling water and it'll be done in another 15 minutes or so.... tuna/pasta salad once that's done.

Valentines day today and for the first time in years, I got something!

Spooky though, I got him a card and a box of Lindor and he got me....a card and a box of Lindor!

Parent's evening for middle son, good report apart from English where he is struggling with the more fictional work, best news was he is on for several A's. I think I said a few weeks ago he has already surpassed his target grade in Maths (the GCSE has already been taken and result received) and was given the choice of either taking Statistics or doing a higher maths GCSE. Well he opted for going for a higher grade (AKA an A or A*) in Maths instead of stats as his memory is hopeless for things like that and the maths teacher is now stating that middle son should be taking maths at A level.

Middle son has already done his choices though and maths does not figure (nor does physics, much to my annoyance - he is an A student in physics), so I am keeping my fingers crossed the teacher's comments might get through as nothing is set in stone just yet when it comes to 6th form.

James now has 4 conditional offers (can't remember if I told you all about the 4th offer) and is now compiling a list of stuff he will need to take to uni....alongside also planning for loveerrrr to help us move the stuff there too!

There was a sweet moment you would have linked this morning, kiwi passed the mauve squeaker cat and they gave each other a kiss. Very hallmark. Then she walloped him around the ears before continuing.
