Don't use any hot water that's left over on the windscreen or you might be needing a new one!

Cold water sorted Arthur's locks a treat this morning after my funky lock deicer metal stick on a key ring didn't work!!

if only you could have watched me this morning, pressed the button on the keyfob of the corsa to unlock it (it duely did so) pulls handle and nothing evil little thing wouldn't let me in so i had to climb in through the boot and push the door from the inside

only to find that not only was the ice internal but external too

and to top it off this evening was halfway up my ladder and the lights went bang the whole town was off .. i went modern era to cranford in 15 seconds .. it only came back on 15 mins ago haha so only took it 35 mins to come back on

When it comes to icey mornings all i have to do is bend down put my mouth to the lock and exhale...lol

Quite funny really..well when people are looking at you weird..

-1C when I left for work at 8:15 this morning!
Lock was froze, so I just breathed on it for a bit, to warm it up a bit! Then defrosted the windows outside, got in, and de-frosted the windows outside!

Managed to sort my heater out too. Had a big pipe that came off it, one that goes across above the pedals. Had a lovely warm drive back from work.
