    It's something you can repair a hole in your exhaust with, it's like a band that goes around the pipe :)

    It's nice to have people popping in so thank you :)

    Payday today, hurrah!

    Small pads made. I'll pay some more towards the car when DH transfers me some money.

    We both have our breakdown cover to renew this month. We've looked into it and we can get joint cover (with more protection) for just a little more than one of our covers, so we are going to switch. I don't know why we haven't looked at it before :doh:

    Too hot to go booting today as there's no shade so we gave it a miss.

    Sorted and photo'd a load for eBay. Just need to motivate myself to get some more on! I have sold two items today so that's good.

    Caught up on surveys. I've also paid another £100 off the car.

    I gave the washing machine a good clean and then ran it empty. Looks like new now!

    I fell over the other day going into a supermarket. I have a massive bruise on my leg just below my knee where I hit the kerb, it makes kneeling down rather difficult!

    Tomorrow we will have a wander around the car boot and then we are taking the kids fruit picking. Then we are possibly due thunderstorms in the afternoon so a quiet one at home.

    Little jwil had an inset day yesterday so DH took them both to the beach. They had a lovely day whilst I was sweltering at work!

    Hi Jwil :). It's disappointing about the f&f refusal :mad: but they'll crack eventually. Are you doing token payments?

    Hope your bruise gets better, it's horrible falling over :(. I've got a bruise on my forehead atm where I walked into a wall at my dad's house (half asleep and strange layout in the dark :rotfl:).
