Thanks E.
No wine, but whine!
Today I am grateful for...
* the flywheel hasn't gone as well (an additional £200)
* the parental parents
* Enjoyable first day back, inspirational headteacher and first day in responsibility post went as well as I might have hoped.
* a kind comment from one of SLT, along the lines of "time they promoted you, I've been saying that for ages"
* knackered clutch means lift share with DH, who I adore. Still. [STRIKE]Despite the fact that both clutches went out when he was driving.

Is he a heavy footed driver or was it coincidence? Glad you had a good first day back.
SquirrelPaid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
Still thrifty though, after all these years:D0 -
I'm being mean, he has only had his car since last term, and it was a low budget purchase so them's the breaks. Mine is probably on it's first clutch from new and its 7 years old and does a fair bit of towing.

Glad you found some things to be grateful for...I still would have had a glass of wine though.

Lovely morning playing ponies. Now wondering how much the car is going to cost me.
We have just joined a heating oil buying consortium and have managed to completely run out. No cooking since our cooker is the aga.
