    Well that was a busy day, shopping, cleaning , ironing.

    Shopping at MrA £14.34 HB £13.43 got some Christmas goodies , well all the ones I am buying.

    Need petrol tomorrow then pay day Friday. No plans for the week socially.

    Have a problem with my car the boot opened at the supermarket , when I went back it wouldn't open . No idea how much it will cost to fix, have googled it and it looks tricky.

    Thank goodness for emergency fund.

  • I bet the boot lid thing will turn out to be a relay or solenoid gone - my car petrol filler flap jammed closed on one occasion (at the most incovenient moment imagineable of course!) and that turned out to be a solenoid. Hopefully not massively pricey to repair if so.

    Definitely hurrah for emergency funds though!

  • Oh well at least it was easily diagnosed I guess. You can't mess about with electrical stuff either I don't think - you need to know what's causing it for peace of mind as much as anything.

    Nice work on the NSD and the swimming. I need to get back to it - not been for a while!
