Just washed the camper van, 6 months dirt gone I can see out the back windows at last,
but my fingers are frozen.

Chuffed with myself for mending my Vax Carpet Shampooer all by myself this morning. :bananafunk:

1 & half hours work & 3 kettles of hot water saved me spending £120 on the one I reserved at Argos last night.


Note to self........ take photos of where parts came from in future. Turned into a massive jigsaw puzzle! :D

Got my fire working properly again yesterday as well armed with a hairdryer, hoover and a pastry brush. :)

Grrr gotta go to Asda and pick up some beers for the husband, he wants the 4 for a fiver offer ones....

Trouble is, I've already been to Asda this morning, and can't remember how many hours it is before you're allowed back?

Middle son received a £70.00 parking fine from them on Friday for staying too long....


Aghhhhhh.

Bit of a walk, but you could always park at St.Georges and walk? I promise you, there isn't any clamping (Porters can't find the only clamp they have). Loads of folk do it. And it might save you getting a fine.

Just pop into customer services and explain your plight and they will happily put you on their white list which means you won't get a fine.

Thanks Glam, I might do that next time :)

Hehe John, I'm not sure they'll see my husbands want for beer as being worthy, but I'll keep it in mind for it I have to take things back again - worth knowing, thank you.
Or tell him to go himself on the way home from work ;)
Aww Tek-monkey, he won't get back till 9pm otherwise I would!

Interestingly I read the signs on the carpark and can't find the one that says no returns within 5hrs.....did notice that there is a sign saying that you will be fined £70 if you park in a child space without a child under 12yrs.


Which reminds me....a couple of years ago I had to visit town with my father. He turned into Sainsburys and then pulled into a child space...
"What are you doing?" I said "You can't park here without a child"

Dad replied "Your my child, so I can use it if I want!"

My Dad was 70 and I was 40! Do parents ever stop trying to embarrass you?

Or highlighting the fact that there is no word in the English language for adult child of..Unless you have a copy of The Meaning of Lif, that is

I took the youngest Asda other day,and parked in a parent & child space.
If anyone had mentioned it to me, I would've have said that I was with my child. He's 22 and almost 5ft 11",
but he is still my child.
I wasn't aware of the £70 fine tho.
