Took the Mini for its MOT yesterday. All went well but the biggest shock was that in the past 4 years, I've only done 630 miles.... And I've owned it nearly 10 years. Crikey!

Yes I should use it more. It's definitely not a show queen. Simple case of family life getting in the way!

Boarding and insulating the loft has to be one of the worst DIY jobs ever. Or as I now refer to it, itchy hell

Totally agree. I ended up wearing a boiler suit and rubber gloves. Strong look.

For those heading to Bingley, hope you have a great time. I can't be bothered with a 6hrs round trip so I'll be tucked up at home eating an ice cream by the sea :-)
