Only freedom will do

Mrs E will be driving!

My sympathies Ed, I have a lovely dint down the side of my car from December, my fault and so other car owner claimed. Only takes a second of lapse.

It's a car. No one was hurt and Juliet still smiles at you. Take care.

Made £10 from a risk free cards offer, added to the SIPP pot, less than a tenner to the next payment

38p OPed, off for family swimming fun.

Also crossed the rubicon re. weight loss, now comfortably under 15 stones for the first time in 5 years.

Edit: £26 accidental OP made when I was trying to transfer money to my MB account :rotfl:

Happy Friday.

Loved the accidental OP

Ok, so I may actually be cursed.

• Missed swimming (battery drained, then had to charge emergency charger!)
• Tiles wouldn't fit in car, narrowly avoided someone doing exactly what happened last night (swooping across lanes because they're going the wrong way)
• Took cat to vets, kept 45 mins late for appointment due to an emergency operation, cat needs £280+ dental work
• Driving home, someone ignored a give way at a junction and forced their way along a single file road when we had nowhere to go. Wing mirrors pushed each other as I creeeept past them, to a shriek from the woman driving the other car. We just drove the last 50 foot home and parked and they drove off. Just glad Mrs E was in the car, was starting to think that I was going mad and/or was the worst driver in the world :mad:

What happened to "Mrs E will be driving"?

Anyhow, with regard to you car's battery it shouldn't just drain overnight. Either you've done something silly like leaving the lights on or something is causing the battery to drain (can end up being a very, very long job sourcing the "culprit") or the battery itself needs replacing.

She didn't go anywhere, so didn't drive.

Yes, it was my own fault.

Oh gosh the battery thing happened to me. It took weeks to sort out and I had jump leads in the car to ask any willing culprit to get me going again when needed.
Was a bit of a faff (with the exception of breaking down at the gym and finding a total hottie to jump me )

Turned out to be a fuse for the air con......

Sorry it's been one if those weeks Ed, but it's the weekend now and a new day tomorrow.
