I hate going to my nephews nursery as it is nhs one and the way it’s decorated reminds me of hospital wards.The level of pain corresponds to the level of love. Cold comfort but comfort nonetheless6

Thank you everyone.
Positives:
I have (finally) ordered the oven.
I may have solutions for all of the vehicles! Not counting my chickens yet though.

Ohh the skipping along building society under £5k needs an oath thing has hit the bank. Happy with that.My mortgage free diary: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6498069/whoops-here-comes-the-cheese

Oh that's some good news, relieved for you another thing (and big chunk of money) has been successfully dealt with4

You will probably know this already but someone pointed out to me today that Vetinari is a pun on Medici and while I had obviously understood the general reference I had never seen the direct match up. Rather pleasingly I've just been rereading Feet Of Clay in the bath and Vetinari is being treated by the horse doctor which seems fitting!8

Doughnut Jimmy! One of the things I like about the books is that I spot something new every time I read them Viking.Vaguely busy here - more clearing, trying to do an hour every day. Shuffling of money and swapping the car insurance. Once again Battle of H have been excellent. Very little extra charge - mostly admin - and both covered tomorrow which is great and a lot easier than sat in the garage car park with no signal trying to sort it.V5s and spare keys all found etc. Hope it's all straightforward in the morning then back here to facilitate the collection of the motorhome.My mortgage free diary: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6498069/whoops-here-comes-the-cheese
