    Absolutely knackered after a long day and a 5 mile run in a gale! £4.89 paid off a CC. Payday for me today, Mrs E yesterday. Trying to reconcile spreadsheets, but a bit too tired. Will do the basics and go for a sit down soon :rotfl:

    Car is going to take 5-10 working days to fix. At least we get to keep our (relatively) swish loaner until then ;)
