No it's not a ford, its a rover. The emissions thing they think could be a head gasket?? LOL

oh, dear. Head gasket isn't good (sorry!)

Well, I have written and sent off my second assignment in as many days - my tutor is going to hate me because I am working too fast - suppose I had best wait for a week for her to mark the first two before I send the third:eek:

I have tended my window boxes and picked 6 more cherry tomatoes - considering I paid £2 for two plants that had been excessively wind-damaged, I am doing quite will with them - pity they don't last long because I can eat them like sweets. Also had a look at my mixed leaves which are spouting nicely in the same box. I think to save money I will have two boxes for veg and one for flowers.

Have earned some free money and hope to land a free bottle of Zoflora disinfectant - thanks to Pigsback:j - all for entering a comp to win a cleaner.:D

I have been trying to find an LED tealight because I put a real one in a hamper and the family it is going to refuse to have candles in the house because they are dangerous. I don't want to buy one online but if I can't find any in my local shops then I may have to do it.

I don't feel like doing much because I am starting to flag. Oh heck, just remembered I have to send an email to a friend to chese them up for someone else...gotta scoot.

Especially not on a rover... they're known for head gasket problems!

Have you considered complimentary planting - for example if you plant marigolds next to tomatoes it keeps the pests at bay, similar to chives/onions & carrots

Hi!!!

My car failed its MOT today

Got to take it to a friend on Monday and see if they can sort it, the emissions were too high and it needs some welding done

On the plus side, I'm £260 better off than I thought as I hadn't included something on my spreadsheet! Plus I had a minor victory over Alliance & Leicester yesterday with bank charges coz I had a good rant on the phone and got them all refunded

Other than that, it's the same old same old here .... loads of stress with my situation .... but I'm looking forward to some good company tonight

There's a bottle of magic gloop you can buy - so when the tests are done the emissions are low....
