    Quick Update.
    Mrs Advent today decided we need a sack of spuds as we were driving to B&Q to get turf (another story)....
    The spuds had a nice big hand written sign saying "POTATOES -£4.99 A SACK".
    I gave the cheery chappy a £5 note and he loaded the spuds in my boot, then walked off and sat back in his van.
    Once again I was a penny short and as he was quite big with hairy knuckles I didn't question him on my change.
    Now 2p a week is a pound a year, so if I live to be 78 that is £60 I will lose in my adult life.
    Now if so2006 will put £60 in my paypal account then I will be more than grateful and will let them keep my pennies for the remainder of my life.

    lol i am not that nice :rotfl:i am willing to paypal you 10p or 30p by post, so you dont cry tooo much to Mrs Advent, i feel sorry for her! :T

    How about washing your car when it is raining. No need for any prep other than a bucket and sponge + you will save time on the rinse.

    Hmm Just going to wait for the April snow to clear and will give it a go
    My opinions are purely my own act on them at your own risk :think:
