It's a bit embarrassing when you offer a visitor your biscuit barrel and they pull out the one you took a huge bite out of earlier and then put back because you didn't actually want it.

Not in a good mood today. It started badly as some a**hole hit the back of my car when I was stopped at a junction and I've just got home to find one of my neighbours already has christmas lights all over their house. Really? Its not even December yet.

    Christmas does not start in my house until December 6th until after people's birthday's are out the way. I realise that not everyone has a December birthday but even advent hasn't started which is the last Sunday in November.

    I think it is more about the folks that watch movies in the cinema. Star wars did that for at least 2 generations. The new movies are going to target a third.

    I know exactly where the receipt is for my vectra's battery is. In the folder allocated to all my Vectra's paper work. I can find any receipt for anything I bought for my mini as well as they are in it's dedicated folder. And women say men are untidy. Pffft...

    I started a folder of everything I have bought for my mini. Figured at some point it would be useful.

    They're just total scumbags that do stuff like that. Makes you so angry. Call the local pawn shops in case they try and off load it there. And e-bay.

    My aunt got burgled in the 90's they took everything, even used the kids duvet covers to put the things they stole in. They waited a few weeks until the insurance paid out and they replaced their things and then burgled them again. They are scum

    Will keep an eye on the shops, and I've heard that that they like to come back for the replaced items, but I don't think my aunts going to be replacing much of it.

For the first time since driving my car finally has automatically disabling indiactors after I took the part from my donor car. You know you're into classics when that feels like a luxury extra!

    I bought a couple of the Thomar ones for my Golf when it developed a leak in the boot. Put one on the parcel shelt and one on the dash. Worked great. You'll need 2 as one will be drying as the other is soaking it up http://www.amazon.co.uk/ThoMar-604-110-Re-Usable-Twin-Dehumidifier/dp/B00A6TKSXE/ref=sr_1_2?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1416934980&sr=1-2&keywords=thomar

    Not on my account you won't! If lots of people change their mind then fair enough. I really want to come but Money is being swallowed up quicker than I can make it and now have vet bills too as well as the impending doom of Christmas. I will do my best though, i have really been looking forward to it

    Will have to go on another run out when you get one James! Takes ages to find the right one, took me about a year to find my second! Did you get your Mini back from the insurance company?
