Only freedom will do

I'd say having to choose a lesser car from the fleet of classics definitely qualifies as a first world problem Alex

Maybe there should be a level above first world problems, we're not all on an equal footing here in the first world...

That would be zeroth world problems. Love that our old Suzuki is 3 times as efficient as Alex's luxury car. It seems that luxury and waste are pretty much synonymous sometimes

Edit: My apologies Alex, that comment was a little snippy!

Not being an Am@zon booster here, but they have £10 off a £50 spend for today only (banner on main page). Good for any pre-planned spends that you're looking to save money on?

£0.09 paid into savings, sig updated

Probably the worst one is my Land Rover - it's now one year old, definitely less efficient than your Suzuki and probably slower. :rotfl:

No need to apologise, Ed. Not everything in this world is about how efficient something is or how cheap it is to own / run / keep ... some people just don't understand.

Hi Ed


Just sticking my head round the door to say hi and hope you and yours are well. Will have a bit of a lurk around the board this week aka as 'avoiding updating your own diary' :rotfl:


Regards

Cheers Ed, managed to stock up on pet food and get a free book out of it as well.

Glad you found something HS, not needing anything here.

Absolutely livid - I have accidentally melted 3-4 6" lines into our new living room carpet with the side of an iron while attaching a veneer strip onto the bookcase. I really am !!!!ing useless at DIY. Most of it is overshadowed by the V1rgin box, but I am really quite annoyed with myself

Sorry to hear about the carpet.

Not sure what type of carpet you have and if the damage is bad enough for you to want to try and minimise the mark.

I had a similar mark and I used tweezers (to lift the pile on the carpet that had the mark) and a pair of manicure scissors, to trim the top of the mark off (I'm talking a fraction of a mm) just before you think I have a baldy bit on my carpet:rotfl:, still leaving some pile. Just a suggestion, that may help.
