    definatelt. and will be worth it to get your bike up and running again for the spring time :)(you can tell im a lazy"its too cold" kinda gal)

    Me too!

    Really want to get [STRIKE]it [/STRIKE] her ;)ship-shape again

    The local shop is around a mile away and it's so silly having to use the car to go - I do try not to use it that often but it's sometimes cheaper to pay a bit extra for the odd thing rather than the fuel to pop to the SM which is an 18 mile round trip:eek:

    I've got panniers (fairly big ones too!) so used to use her to pop down if I needed the odd thing ..... actually quicker too by the time I've found a parking space once I get there!:)

    great news on the tyres
    as for the coffee machines I'd look on the manufacturer websites who will maybe have videos,info on...I know doce gusto do as I was checking them out last week....then I'd google reviews on them...then look up the price of pods etc
  • Thanks Taxi - will have a hunt around ... just wish she'd mentioned it earlier!:eek:

    I'm very uneducated in these things but take it the various different pods only work in certain machines

    Did you manage a snooze?

    I've just woken up after a lovely hour(ish) on the sofa with my snuggly throw and hot water cat lying full length .... *sigh* ... lovely, just wish I'd slept a bit longer but hopefully that'll be enough to keep me up until around 10!

  • Lordy I am chattering away a lot on here today!:o

    More good news!

    I've just *found* some vouchers I was given for my (big) birthday earlier this year:T .....

    I asked for gardening ones as it's one of the things that I don't have a budget for and TBH can't afford to spend a lot on ...... I was going to get a few nice big pots but didn't see any I liked so stuck them in a drawer and had totally forgotten about them!:)

  • Hi hun,

    Glad you managed a nap, hope you feel a bit freshed now :)

    Yay to the vouchers, they all help and will definitely come in handy.

    Hope you manage to get the bike working ok and cheaply too.

    The pods are expensive.
    Will your DF really use it?
    My friend got one last year and hardly uses it now.

    Ahhhh I didn't make it either Taxi :o Ended up falling asleep on the sofa, then eventually went to bed & read a book for a bit hoping that would make me sleep a bit later .... errrr 4:10am :(

    Totally shattered now and really wish I didn't have to go to the hospital this morning ... hey ho!

    Hope you're feeling OK this morning
